4 Common buy here, pay here misunderstandings

If its buy here, pay here you can finance a lot of car for little money:

This may be true, but is mostly false. I think this misunderstanding came from the way things were years ago. Even 3-4 years ago you could get away with it, but not in today's environment. Lending practices at one point was very loose. You can get a new car with $ 500 down a 650 credit score and a steady job.

But that type of thinking is what got us into this mess in the first place. Why would you want to revert to something that got you in a messy financial situation again? Thing is that we get people walking in constantly trying to put $ 500 on a 10 k car. Well, the problem with most of the people we treat people in a tough situation. Why do your situation even more difficult by taking on a loan, you can't afford?

This $ 500 cover not even your taxes, which in turn does not make something against the principal of the car. This will keep your high payments and interest has potential in eat you in the long run. The best thing you can do put more money toward the price of the car. We are doing is actually far less money when you do this, because it lowers your payments and interest does not cost you so much in the course of the loan.

All cars in the buy here, pay here are pieces of junk:

Has some merit, but it makes buying a car on a franchise new or secondhand dealer. Really, it comes to management. What kind of work they put into service their cars? They will for the cheap quick fix, or they are trying to get a customer for life? Please check their cars when they come? Perform safety inspections? Will they let you take your car to an independent mechanic? These are all questions you should ask the dealer. If they say no to any or all of these, you should be suspicious. It is a Redcar not so much these days. All have have a Redcar or they tell is not. While its nice to have a tell is not really the whole story. When you get a BHPH so sure it so, dealing with the right people. There are lots of cars I have seen come and go out of a BHPH which have persisted for a long time. It works both ways. Its dealerships jobs to ensure they are getting you into a good running car, but its your job to maintain the car.

Buy here, pay here is just another car dealer:

Well sort of. Buy here, pay here car lots sell cars. There is a sales person, and there is a Finance Department like any other retailer. Some of them have mechanics on the page and.

What you really have to look at a car dealership BHPH as a place to qualify you. Things work backwards by a BHPH according to what you are accustomed to. The first step in the process is to get you qualified for a car. While other sites are the first step to sell you a car. They were in the good ol' days when everyone could get funded. It is something not how good or bad your credit card was. Its different now. You may not have qualified for everything a BHPH dealers jobs are so you fit into a car you can Afford. They don't want you to fail. They don't want to get stabbed another hard financial situation. It is in their best interest to get you into a car you can pay in a timely manner.

Because its a BHPH, you can get into any car you want:

This is simialr to 2 of the common misconceptions above, but not quite. I see a lot of people come to party and expect to get into a really nice car. When I propose something else they respond "but is it not a buy here, pay here"?

Well yeah it is, but it does not mean we want to put you in a situation where you want to fail. Everyone wants a nice car, but the reality is not everyone can afford a nice car. You must not only consider the payments but also maintenance and insurance, that goes to own a car. With gas prices rising filling up your car is a payment in itself. You should also prepare for unexpected mechanical corrections and keep with basic maintenance. Commissioning a 20 K car will only set you up for failure. We are not in the lack of business.

We understand you have a financial hardship. We get people who have the repo session, foreclosures and other payments on their credit. It is unwise to put you in a tough situation again. We do not want to do, and you should not want to do it either.
