c'mon people, you leave the door to the cage open and then complain about a tiger in the room. kid's auto is neither good nor bad, it's you with the bad credit that's bad! Do you know where his cars come from? they're trade ins that he gets from the reputable dealers who know they can't or won't sell them because of the condition or their own reputation as a car dealer... so ol' ""Kid"" goes down and buys blocks of these cars that he then marks up outlandishly so that he knows he can make a profit on them. and why are they marked up so high? again, because of you with the bad credit. Kid knows you've got bad credit, the amount he asks for as a downpayment is actually the cost he has in the car, so you've actually paid for the car in full and anything else he can get from you is cream (and his overhead and profit) and the fact that you have bad credit to begin with tells him that you will probably default on this payment as well and therefore it's the higher risk... i'm not defending these high priced dealers, i'm defending my reputation as a consumer. i guard my credit and reputation jealously, and therefore i don't get ripped off from these dealers, and on the otherhand those who flipantly reach for too many credit cards and credit applications and can't possibly afford the life style that you live (too many children, too many wives, too many husbands, too many divorces, cohabitations, walk aways, and those who can't stay on the right side of the law...) are forced to live pay check to welfare pay check and wonder why you can't live like the other half? we do work hard to be on this side of the tracks, and you should too! and finally, what do you think an 8 year old car should look like? why did i trade it in? do you think that kid's auto refurbished it? i traded it in because the check engine lite came on, because the brakes, tires and engine are worn out.... kid's just washed it and put it on the line, just for you! (by the way, Kid lives in my neighborhood because of people like you!)
Pros: it's a buy here pay here
Cons: you got bad credit where else ya gonna go?
