My mom's car; Update Post 11, :(

[Logan]

You guys need a break, Bri. I'm sorry there is so much going on right now. We have an extra car sitting in our driveway, but of course, it doesn't help you and your mom.

Please keep in touch with me by PM so I'll know when to call Northridge.

Yup, got Logan's PM.

And thanks .

I really hope we get this car. The dealership is really trying. I'll find a picture on google..

Awww I'm sorry you couldn't get the vibe Bri. I know how much you wanted it. Prayers are on the way that you can get the new one. It looks really pretty!

I know State Farm is also in the USA. I did my financing for my car through State Farm. I bought a 6500.00 car (that was the total cost after taxes & stuff).. I pay 169.00/month to pay them back.. its a 4 year plan.

Get your mom to call them & see if its in the usa too

we have STATE FARM but its an insurance company - I don't think they finance cars, but I could be wrong - I really don't know. I just set up my car/house insurance with them.

Our car is a lot more than $6,500 though, lol. We tried applying for a loan, didn't work. Doubt it'll work at other places too. They're working with Eastman credit union, so maybe they can do something.

The Vibe and the Matrix are pretty much the same car, just a slightly different look to the body.

The Vibe is by Pontiac, but has a Toyota engine.

DO they have a Corolla? They are good on gas. There is one that used to be called the Echo - new name this year - it has a hatch like the Matrix, but is smaller.

Our state farm is an insurance company too... I think it was something new they were getting into. I have car & life insurance with them.

I'm going through a bankruptcy (I get to sign this sat, finally!!) & most finance companies will repo the car from you right away. or just after the bankruptcy & screw you, as you cannot claim anything after you sign.. only for things that happened before your signing.

So my bankruptcy Trustee (very nice guy, everyone in the company is calm & friendly) called State Farm to tell them what was going on & what their policy was for someone who went bankrupt, but still wants the car & wants to make payments. State Farm said we'll give her till this date to get caught up & she can keep her car, as long as she doesn't miss any payments. I kept my end of the deal & I still have the car *hugs her car*

Thats why I thought State Farm would be a good company for them to go with.

Bri, with the average finance company I would have to pay nearly 400.00/month for my car & I'm paying 169.00/month.

I know what your mother & your family are going through, as I'm in the same kind of boat. Its really rough... I wish you & your mother the best... *hugs*

Our car that just died was a Corolla, I don't think my mom would want one.. and no, they did not have any .

Ah, so the Vibe and Pontiac are like twins?! Neat!

Why don't you look for a less expensive car then, if you can't obtain financing on that one?

Because this is the only one that the car dealership has that is available to us.

[Vela]

Have you guys tried other dealerships? I'm sure there is more than one. If they can't obtain financing there, there might be another place who can. I have seen places here who do their own financing themselves and claim to finance anyone, maybe you can find a place like that. I know they have them all over the country.

Yeah, we've tried like 2 other car dealerships and both of them didn't even approve us. Soo.. we're sticking with this one. They're working really hard to get us this car.

[Vela]

Well good luck with that. If they can't do it call around and try to find a place that does their own financing, rather than trying to go through a bank. Might have more luck there. Or find one that says "will finance anyone". they are usually less stringent there than at banks.
