We Don't Know How Much Down

by Scott Stillings - Posted 4 years ago

The absolute most common question we get is how much down. At DriveNation USA, we do not have set down payments and here is why. 

1. Everyone is different. Some people have good credit, Some people have bad credit. 
2. Everyone is different. Some people have more income than others.

We are "Income Based" at DriveNation USA. Someone that makes $1000 per week might require less of a down payment because their ability to pay is greater.  Someone who has a 10 year job may require less down because they are more stabil in the area. Someone with a 1 week job will be a higher risk vs someone with a 10 year job.
Credit is not a fact for our approvals but we do check for bankruptcies. Any BHPH dealership that says they don't run credit are lying to you. We must check for open BK, It's the law. Our application asks about your residence, job and time in the area. We look for your current ability to pay, not your past. This is why past repos or credit issues are OK with us. We want to know about your ability to pay NOW. 

Everyone is different and this is why we do not have SET DOWN PAYMENTS. If you are in the market for a Buy Here Pay Here car in Bradenton, Ellenton, Palmetto or Sarasota, Come and test drive DriveNation USA. We think you will like our LOW down payments and AFFORDABLE payments, Just don't ask us, "How much Down" and expect an answer without an application. We will pleasantly direct you to our website at www.drivenationusa.com and ask you to fill out a information app.

Until next time,
