At Byrider, we run our dealership differently from the traditional dealerships in Mount Pleasant. We know our customers come to us with different credit backgrounds, so we make sure to offer a range of financing options to meet the needs of many different budgets.

Traditional dealerships often have to turn away customers with bad credit or no credit. These dealerships use financial institutions to finance their customers that will judge you solely by your credit score.

We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to buy the vehicle they desire. Our buy here pay here options are based on what you’re able to pay, not on your past credit.

 

Instead of relying on third parties to finance our customers, we finance directly at Byrider, making it easier for those who might not otherwise be approved for a loan.

Byrider offers.... Buy here pay here dealerships are different than traditional dealerships primarily because they provide their own in-house financing, which means they can also offer easier credit approval for people who can’t qualify for a traditional bank or finance company loan based on their lack of credit history, low credit score, income, their job stability, etc.

In other words, a buy here pay here dealership serves those customers who need a car, but can’t qualify for a traditional loan.

3 ways buy here pay here lots are different than traditional dealerships

3. Payments are usually accepted on-site 

5 things to consider when shopping for a used car

 

1. Cars that are sold “as-is” means the price doesn’t include a warranty to protect you from major mechanical repairs and expenses—costs that you may not be in a position to afford.
2. Salvaged, rebuilt, branded or restored titles mean that these cars may have hidden problems like internal rusting or flood or fire damage, or a bent frame from an accident—trouble that can mean expensive repair bills down the road, as well as a car that will be worth far less when you go to sell it or trade it in. A bent frame can also mean your wheels can’t be properly aligned, which will reduce fuel efficiency and wear your tires out quicker. Always look for a car with a vehicle history report that can verify the actual mileage and a clean title.
3. No credit reporting. On-time payments may put you in a good position to improve your credit score, but only if your dealership is committed to reporting them to the three major credit bureaus: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.
4. 3rd party or aftermarket warranties typically require you to get your claim approved by a specific auto repair shop or a call center before you can begin having it fixed. Once fixed, you may need to pay for it yourself upfront and then submit your receipts for reimbursement. Also, these warranty companies may be located off-shore and may close suddenly, leaving you without adequate service or coverage. Read the fine print, as many of these aftermarket warranties have very high claim deductibles, waiting periods, lots of exclusions (non-covered items) and conditions (a specific oil type needs to be used, regularly scheduled oil changes must be done with receipts for proof of work performed, etc.).    
5. Higher miles aren’t necessarily bad. Cars in the 1960s and 1970s typically didn’t make it to even 100,000, but cars now are designed to last more than 250,000 with just basic maintenance. Don’t let a higher odometer scare you on a used car lot. The condition of a vehicle and its title status mean much more.

And, unlike a lot of buy here pay heres, once you leave our lot, you don’t leave our care. Our dealerships have limited warranties that last for up to 36 months or 36,000 miles, depending on the location. Others have optional extended service agreements that will keep your car running smoothly and affordably for years to come. Once your term is up, you’ll still be eligible for our Preferred Service Pricing, which means your car will be serviced at some of the cheapest rates in town. In fact, a 2016 survey of 24 service shops across 3 states found that our hourly labor rate was half that of the competition.

Buy Here Pay Here Car Lots

Unlike many buy here pay here car lots, we invest in making our cars better before we put them on our lot. We only buy cars that meet our rigorous quality standards for safety and dependability, and then we run each one through a 92-point inspection. Then, we invest in each vehicle and recondition it with newer parts to make sure they’re up to the Byrider standard of excellence.

And since we offer a limited warranty or an optional extended service agreement, we’re invested in making sure you can stay on the road affordably for a long time. 

 

Clean Titles

We don’t sell cars with salvaged, restored or rebuilt titles. Cars with branded titles have had enough damage to them that the insurance company decided it was cheaper to declare them a total loss than to repair them. The reason cars have branded titles are most often because of severe frame, body, flood or fire damage. 

Cars with branded titles often:

• Wear through tires more quickly, if the frame is bent
• Are likely to rust if they’ve been in a flood
• Have mechanical issues you may not spot right away
• Have a significantly lower resell value
• May have safety issues

We verify all our cars have clean titles with Carfax, AutoCheck or another reputable source so you can have peace of mind in the value and safety you’re getting from your vehicle.

Inspection

We inspect 92 points on every vehicle we sell. Our technicians also take each car for at least a 20-minute test drive to make sure everything is running smoothly. The inspection process places a large focus on making sure the car is up to our safety and dependability standards.

Here are just a few points we check to make sure they’re in good working order:

• Engine mounts, oil and filter, leaks and the intake manifold
• Seat belts, spare tire, airbag warning lights, and the interior and exterior mirrors
• Heating and A/C systems, along with the control knobs and switches
• Frame, underbody, and the hood, trunk and gas releases
• Electrical system, including headlights and taillights and the turn signals
• Transmission, suspension, steering, fuel and braking systems

Computer Testing

We don’t just check the outside of your car. We also get into its core, including checking its logs with our computer testing system. This will show us if there are any misfires or engine codes, which could indicate trouble. We then repair anything we find and clear the codes.

Servicing

Before your car leaves our lot, it will have had a fresh oil change and a new oil filter put into it. If the tires are bad, we’ll also replace them. We always conduct the factory-recommended service based on the vehicles miles to ensure you can drive your car worry-free until the next time your car needs servicing. And, when it does, we can offer you $10 or under oil changes for the life of your vehicle.

Reconditioning

We only buy vehicles that have clean titles, but sometimes they still could use a little time and money to get them to our high quality standards. That’s why we spend an average of $1,500 reconditioning all our cars. Here are just a few of the 76 parts we make sure are in good order, and fix if needed.

We focus on fixing any safety issues, like turn signals or the emergency brake. We also make repairs that will extend the life of the vehicle, like fixing faulty belts or anything that can cause a problem down the road. Other car lots may only detail their cars to make them look better, but we’re committed to making the investments that will also make your car more reliable and safe.

Buy Here Pay Here Credit

Affordable Payments

Our personalized payments make it easier to pay on time because they’re scheduled on your payday. Affordable payments are based on your lifestyle so they’ll fit into your budget.

We recommend using automatic withdrawals because reputable sources like Daily Finance names it as one of the easiest ways to help yourself stay current, but we have plenty of other payment options that make paying on time convenient.

Credit Reporting

We do this because helping to put you in a position to improve your credit is one of our company goals. We want customers to be able to finish out their contract with Byrider and be in a better place financially than when they started.
