C’mon. Did you really buy a non running barn find expecting to spend less on parts than you did for the car? Look at it this way. You didn’t buy a Willy’s jeep. You bought some used Willy’s jeep parts. The rest of the car is going to be even more. I thought you knew better david :)

False. You can set up a payment plan with whoever you owe your medical expenses to at 0% interest. I’ve had unexpected medical problems and paid as little as $5/month interest free. All you need to do is call. I’ve even negotiated a lower balance and it doesn’t impact your credit at all.

Great post. According to several people I’ve talked to in the used car industry, the down payment at a BHPH lot equals their gross cost basis in the car, so they are gross break-even as soon as the down payment is made. The monthly payments are just gravy.

they have a penchant for repossessing cars when just a single payment is late

and this is why every school should have a ‘life’ class where people get taught how to avoid scams like this and what to do instead

Mine are bigger than Pastor’s.

At least Tucker actually delivered a few cars.

It’s technically a motorcycle, which is why it can be sold for so little. No pesky safety requirements like airbags, side-impact beams, crumple zones, bumpers, etc. They can also do away with lots of emissions requirements since motorcycles have less of that, too.

Dear Elio: I’d like to piss away $7,000 as quickly as possible, but I really don’t like cocaine. Can you help me?

If loving this is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Ok, I actually chuckled at “gives me the willies.”
