Buy Here Pay Here idiots
A dumpy looking girl came in today interested in my Saturn Sky Roadster Red Line wanting to test drive. With younger people and folks who want to know payments over pricing, I try to pre-qualify the buyer a little bit to make sure the test drive wasn't a waste of time. The interview went sort of like this:
Me: Have you financed a car before? Derpina: Yes, this one, a 1997 Buick Lesabre Me: Are you wanting to trade it in? Derpina: Possibly... It has 130,000 miles on it. Me: How much do you owe? Derpina: I bought it last year and still owe about $9000 on it. Me:  uhh... How much do you have to put down?Derpina: $300 No test drive for her...

She's definitely not hot enough for that car.
I mean even if she's a ten in the looks category, you gotta subtract at least three points for that much stupidity, right? In other news, Tyler, what is your website?

I choose not to deal with the normal type of person that falls into this crap and contribute to their stupidity, but wouldn't mind being a silent partner. A Buick Lesabre is the perfect vehicle for something like this. They are cheap to buy for the dealer, last a long time and are very cheap to fix. Dealers will literally pay book retail on Japanese cars auction just because they know they will last through the loan. This is especially the case during tax return season when the wage slaves are ready to put down several thousand. If this same type of person bought a Mercedes, they would not keep it up, not be able to afford to fix it, and quit making payments when it quits running. Most buy here pay here lots avoid European imports for this reason. I can exist on these cars because they go for decent prices, I have the means to recondition them affordably, and have enough of a margin to make a living without carrying the note.

When I lived in Ohio, the BHPH dealer had hooked in my coworker. This particular dealer had a lojack installed that they could use to keep the vehicle from starting. More often than not, he was needing a ride home, because he had been negligent in paying the note, and was unable to start his car to drive home.
He once told us what he paid for the vehicle per month, and for how long...it was more than 3X what the book value was...and it was a POS. He bought it this way, because he had zero credit. A young 19 year old kid, saddled with payments that had buried him. This dealership, a little hole in the wall joint, had talked this kid into believing that he wouldn't qualify for a loan elsewhere. We talked him into taking the car back, telling the dealer that he wouldn't pay anymore, and found him a used vehicle he could pay cash for. We then taught him how to maintain the vehicle as cheaply as possible, so that owning it wouldn't kill him. Stupidity of the youth amazes me...
