From there either pay down your debts so you have a lower debt / credit ratio and can be approved for a bigger loan (if you need to) or save the money for a down payment or a combination of both. Try not to open any other lines of credit or even apply for loans / credit cards until you get approved for the car loan. Look at your income / debt ratio to esitmate how much you might get approved for. Keep the remaining cash in hand to use as a down payment incase you can't get approved for the full amount.
