Questions to ask your buy here pay here Colorado dealership

There are some basic questions anyone should get answers for from a buy here pay here Colorado dealership before you buy a vehicle from one. By asking these questions you can be sure you get the right car for you and your family. You’ll also better understand how the financing works as well as the used vehicle market in general.

What do I need to bring?

You can realistically walk right into a Colorado buy here pay here dealership and leave with something you like in under 2 hours! That is only if you bring what’s on the list below. All these items do is verify that you are the person you say you are. Buy here pay here dealers take on a bigger risk because they don’t have a bank to back them up. All the financing is done in-house. Here’s what you need:
    • Colorado Driver’s License
    • Proof of Employment
    • Proof of Colorado Residency
    • Proof of Auto Insurance
    • Recent Pay Stub
    • Social Security Number
    • Financial Information
    • Down Payment
    • Reference List (with full contact information)
Bringing the things on this list will help the BHPH process move along much faster, but you should call ahead to the dealer and find out what exactly they’ll need from you before you visit their lot. You won’t need all these things right away, but it will move the overall verification process along much faster.

What is the quality of the vehicles?

Knowing how the dealership cares for their vehicles will tell you if the car is in a reliable condition or not. Ask for the vehicle inspection report. If the car lot doesn’t offer one, you can always buy it on your own. It’s a small investment for peace of mind. Also, ask if they handle all the mechanical repairs themselves or if they have a partner that works on the cars for them. In Colorado, since emissions tests are required, any vehicle purchased from any auto dealer must pass emissions in most cases. Be sure you spend a decent amount of time driving the vehicle as well. If there’s a check engine light on, make sure the dealership puts it in writing that they will take care of it. Most of the time a check engine light is a minor issue, but you don’t want to inherit the dealership’s problems.

Is the buy here pay here near me?

Seems rather obvious, but find out where they’re located. You should find a BHPH dealer that is closer to where you live rather than further away, if possible. You don’t want to drive halfway across Colorado or four towns over to make your payments. It would eventually become tedious. Most BHPH places won’t work with you if you are too far away anyway. This is to make sure that you can make your payments on time. Living too far away from the store can cause the dealer to doubt your ability to come in each time to make your payments. That, of course, brings us to our next question:

How is the financing arranged?

Most Colorado BHPH dealers want you to bring the money to the lot directly. It makes it easier, with less confusion then you know the payment was taken and they know you made the payment. There are some dealerships that accept other methods of payments too. Some may accept a credit card over the phone, money order, or even a deposit. Just as it is important to know how they take payments it’s also important to ask about Late Policies.

What is the late policy?

Is there a grace period in case an emergency comes up or a check comes out short? Will they contact you before they take the car back or take it without questions asked? You may also want to ask if they report the negative data as well as the positive to the credit reporting agency. If they report often to them and you have a good payment record this can really help you build or rebuild your credit.
