Anyone finance through USAA with low credit score?

[Can't find my socks]

I had a auto loan through USAA back in 2011 and paid it off last July, my score back in august was 450, I was baffled why it was so low. I had made a few late payments though. I tried to finance a new vehicle back in September and was denied and I saw that coming. Since august I have corrected a lot of information and done my best at improving my score and I'm sitting at a 610. My financial situation now is much better than it was when I had my late payments. I know I can get financed with other lenders but I'm curious if staying with USAA is an option. I'm afraid I'll get denied or a terrible rate compared to others. Does anyone else have any expirences with this? I also see a lot of negative things about financing with usaa. Kinda think jumping off the band wagon as well.

I had a similar situation. They referred me to their online partner lender for a $10,000 car. The application is still in limbo 2 1/2 years now. I used their car buying service to find another vehicle and walked into the dealership and ended up buying 2 vehicles total loan amount $75,000. Paying them off as agreed.

I was in a similar situation. I got a loan through USAA at a horrible rate due to credit issues. I am a 23 year customer with USAA. I then refinanced it at a credit union that I had ZERO relationship with and saved over $100 a month in interest payments. USAA told me I had to go through the same application process even though they already had my loan and a 23 year history. Go to a credit union. Also don't bother with the USAA credit counseling. They tell you the basics and try to sell you services. It's a joke

Thank you for the replies. I'm dissipointed in the reviews and rates. I'll keep USAA in mind but I don't think they are competitive in this area.
