That is an extremely stupid idea. Get a credit card and use it for your expenses. Then pay it off in full every month, on time. That will build your credit without wasting $7-8k on interest payments.

Don't over emphasize your credit score, as it will naturally go up over time with consistent on time payments. Your score only matters when trying to make a big purchase like a house or car. And so you are doing this backwards.gwt your score up before you use it for a loan on a car, don't use the car to up your score.

Get a low limit credit card and use it and pay it off each month, there is ZERO reason to take this car loan.

Lol sounds like you have no clue how to improve your credit. Step one is NOT "take on bad loans."
