Having to get a new car I went to my credit union and arranged for a loan. Not a problem at all as I asked for ten K and have a 800+ credit score. My CU has a service to help you buy cars and get good deals and remove the hassle that dealing with a dealer is all about. I say yes cause I hate care sales people and the whole pressure to sell thing. (you have likely been there)
In Las Vegas, anyone who doesn't make a half mil a year is poor. I'm am very poor. So I'm looking for a small SUV a few years old for a payment less than 200$. I call the # from the CU and get HELP DESK! Well it is a guy, Krik, and we talk, and I tell him my situation and He says we can do it. We appoint to meet at unique auto. This is a dealers auction place. All big cities have them and it is a trip. Many acres of cars. The arrive on trucks from all over and are arranged in rows according to some criteria and auctioned on Thursday and Friday and gone by Sunday.
It's Thursday and we are looking at cars. This lot is only for dealers but we walk in like we belong and walk and walk looking. Everything seems to be too thrashed or too much $. We look at vans but don't need anything that big. I see a bargain but Gloria gets bad vibes. What looks good is always one year too new to fit he budget. We finally set a bid on a rare Suzuki suv with low miles.
I'll give away the ending. We lose the bid on that one by 400 and are going to try next week, but there is a little more to the story, a bit about the car selling business, and I will fit it in before I write about next week's car search.
