Car title loans in New Mexico

A statewide APR cap on small-dollar credit

New Mexico enacted a statewide cap on small-dollar consumer loan APRs that applies to vehicle-secured lending, sharply reducing the cost of borrowing compared with neighboring states. Fewer lenders write these loans as a result, but the ones that do price within the cap, which makes New Mexico one of the more borrower-protective title markets in the Southwest.

Bad credit does not have to stop you. The cap protects credit-challenged borrowers from the worst pricing, though it also means fewer lenders — expect a closer look at income.
