Question 1

Do you guys finance?

Accepted Answer

We work with local credit unions and banks. It's up to their discretion whether or not you're approved to make payments.

Question 2

Do you finance people with bad credit?

Accepted Answer

We use outside financing. It's up to them whether you get approved or not.

Question 3

How do I get financed?

Accepted Answer

First thing you need is to come look at the car in person. If you decide it's something you want, and we come to an agreement, then we'll write a bill of sale that you can take to one of the local banks, or your own personal bank. They will make the decision to finance you or not.

Question 4

How much do I need to put down?

Accepted Answer

We use outside financing. The amount you need to put down will depend on your credit score, credit history, and the price of the car.
With these factors in mind, our lenders will work with you to determine what that amount will be, and what it will take to get you approved.

Accepted Answer

There are many variables to consider when buying a used car. The Sims' will do their best to negotiate you in person.

Sometimes. It depends on the condition and the price you're trying to sell it for. We won't discuss price until we see it in person.
You must have it titled in your name. 
We reserve the right to reject any and all offers.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

That depends on too many factors. It's best that you bring us the vehicle you're wanting to trade in so we can discuss it with you in person.

Question 9

No. Everything is sold as-is.

Question 10

If you're a serious buyer and/or we can get you approved, then you're welcome to test drive the vehicle you're interested in.

Question 12

How long will X car last?

Accepted Answer

10 years? 30 seconds? There is no way to guarentee that. We look at every car and try to fix any big issues we find before we sell them. 
If there are any problems that we're aware of, and we aren't willing to fix, we will disclose that information to anyone who shows interest in the vehicles.
