I was told the downpayment on the car would be no more than 500.00. During the interview w/ the credit department or should I say interrogation they learned I was married and that my husband had a decent job all of a sudden they raised the downpayment to 2000.00 w/ a bogus explaination. The cars are overpriced and the staff is rude and talk down to you. I hope that one day the whole staff at JD Byrider lose their jobs and have credit problems and have to go and buy a car and they have to deal w/ an establishment like JD Byrider. I completely believe that they disgriminate against clean cut working people and try to scam them into putting down more money, which of course all that money would end up in someones pocket not the loan.

Face it, buying a used car is something most of us would rather NOT have to go through. JD Byrider is a national chain, locally run. They have a pretty decent selection of cars to chose from but if you're going in believing those ads that they can put you in a car with $100 down even with horrible credit.. you're going to be disappointed. What they offer is a chance to fix your poor credit by purchasing a used car, usually nothing too new unless you want to put out a pretty big down payment, but with extremely high finance charges and usually a pretty hefty down payment. The plus side is that you make payments locally, right at JD Byrider's. You get a decent car that is under an excellent warranty because they basically figure you won't pay on a car that you can't drive. You get a chance to fix a bad credit record, but at a price. The down side, you definitely over pay and over pay highly for the car you get. You pay high finance charges and you typically do have to come up with a substantial downpayment. The salesmen also can be a little intimidating if you're the type that won't speak up. They pretty much approach you with the attitude that YOU need them, basically because you're coming there instead of a standard dealer with standard financing. While I wouldn't say NO to this style of used car buying, I definitely wouldn't suggest rushing there unless you have to but they're not horrible to deal with..just not great!
