With all the bad news about the economy and the auto industry in particular, there are a lot of potential car buyers that need help financing a car. But most dealerships can’t finance problem credit.

I suppose we’re one of the lucky ones…

I work for a small used car dealer in Southern CA and make most of my living providing sales leads obtained from the internet. Occasionally, I’ll make a sale or two, just to keep myself in the game, but for the most part I work from home only going into the store on the weekends.

Now, because of the rotten economy, 99% of our customers have BAD CREDIT and you’d think that with the credit market being as bad as it is, we’d have trouble getting the banks to let loose of their funds. But that’s not the case…far from it. We’ve been averaging 35 or so cars/trucks each month, and with only 4 salesmen that’s a pretty decent job.

True, we have to pay the banks a fairly substantial discount to buy the loans, but after all is said and done we’re happy with our paychecks. And our customers get a decent vehicle and a chance to re-establish their credit, so they’re happy.

And after all, isn’t Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness what it’s all about…
