Drive Forward Program
Low Credit Auto Financing in Clarksville, TN

The Drive Forward Program
A New Kind of Car-Buying Experience for Clarksville Drivers
Jenkins and Wynne Honda has launched the Drive Forward Program to serve a segment of our community that traditional auto financing too often overlooks: buyers with no credit history, new credit, or challenged credit.
This is not a workaround or a side program. Drive Forward is a dedicated department within the Jenkins and Wynne Preowned Super Center, staffed by an in-house Business Manager who specializes exclusively in subprime and no-credit auto financing. We stock vehicles specifically chosen for this program, giving Clarksville drivers real options and a real shot at ownership.
Whether you are a recent graduate building credit for the first time, a service member new to the area, or someone who has navigated financial hardship and is ready to move forward our team is here to work with you, not around you.

In-House Expert
A Business Manager Dedicated to Your Situation
The Drive Forward Program is staffed by a dedicated Business Manager who works exclusively in non-prime and challenged credit financing. This is not a general finance office this is a specialist whose entire focus is finding pathways to approval for Clarksville drivers who have been turned away elsewhere.

Start My ApplicationServing Clarksville and the Surrounding Region
Jenkins and Wynne Honda has served the Clarksville community since 1946 longer than any other dealership in the city. We have deep roots here, and those roots mean we understand the financial realities our neighbors face.
Clarksville is home to Fort Campbell, one of the largest military installations in the United States. Many of our service members, veterans, and their families are rebuilding credit after deployment, PCS moves, or financial disruption. The Drive Forward Program was built with this community in mind.
From downtown Clarksville to Hopkinsville, Murfreesboro, Adams, and the greater Nashville corridor, we work with buyers across Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky who deserve a dealership that takes their situation seriously.

Common Questions About the Drive Forward Program
We want you to feel confident before you ever set foot on our lot.
Will applying hurt my credit score?
Getting started with our online credit application does not automatically trigger a hard credit inquiry. Our team will walk you through the process and explain exactly what happens before any formal inquiry is made.
What if I have a repossession or bankruptcy on my record?
That does not automatically disqualify you. Our Drive Forward specialist works with lenders who look at your full picture including your current income and stability -- not just your past. Every situation is different, and we encourage you to apply and let us see what we can find.
What kind of vehicles are in the Drive Forward inventory?
We stock a curated selection of pre-owned vehicles specifically chosen for their reliability, value, and financing eligibility within the Drive Forward program. Our Business Manager can help match you to the right vehicle based on your approved budget.
Is this the same as the Bargain Corral?
Not exactly. Both programs fall under the Jenkins and Wynne Preowned Super Center, but they serve different purposes. The Bargain Corral offers as-is, lower-priced vehicles with no warranty included. Drive Forward vehicles are specifically selected for buyers who need financing support and while some vehicles may overlap, the two programs are separate departments with different inventory and different goals.
Do I need a down payment?
Down payment requirements vary by lender and vehicle. In many non-prime financing situations, a down payment can significantly improve approval odds and monthly payment terms. Our specialist will be transparent about what options require and what you can expect at each step.
Will buying through Drive Forward help me build credit?
Yes for most buyers, consistent on-time payments on an auto loan reported to the major credit bureaus is one of the most effective ways to build a positive credit history. Our team can help you understand how this purchase can be the first step toward a stronger financial future.
How the Drive Forward Program Fits
The Drive Forward Program is a dedicated sub-department within the Jenkins and Wynne Preowned Super Center sitting alongside (but separate from) our Bargain Corral. Both programs serve distinct customer needs under one roof.
