We Offer a More Rigid Way to Pay Back Your Loan

With a Buy Here, Pay Here dealership we have you pay bi-weekly in cash so we don’t have to deal with bounced checks or money orders that fall through. It is easier for you to not send in a check than it is for you to not hand over your cash to the dealership in person on the right date. This is actually more beneficial for you and the dealership and keeps us both from losing. Paying back a loan this way makes it easier for us to track who is paying and who isn’t and also makes it less likely that you will default on the loan. This system is the best for keeping people on track when paying back their loan.

Safer Purchases

Buy Here, Pay Here dealerships firmly believe in the customer and their goals.

Promotes Financial Responsibility and Growth

As stated above, Buy Here, Pay Here dealerships and their system of paying back a loan will help those consumers who have poor credit to make sure they are paying on time and becoming more financially responsible.
