Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'Buy Here Pay Here' (BHPH) mean?

Buy Here Pay Here, or BHPH, means that we provide the financing for the vehicle you purchase directly at our dealership. Instead of dealing with a third-party bank, you make your payments directly to us. This model allows us to offer flexible in-house auto financing and approve loans for individuals who may have difficulty securing traditional financing due to their credit history.

Can I get a car loan with bad credit or no credit in Charleston?

Absolutely. We specialize in helping customers with various credit situations. Our dealership is a top choice for used cars for bad credit because we look at more than just your credit score. We consider factors like your income and job stability to get you approved for a loan that fits your budget, helping you get the transportation you need while rebuilding your credit.

What documents do I need to bring to get financing?

To ensure a smooth and fast approval process, it is helpful to bring a few key items with you. Please review our what to bring page for a detailed list, but you can typically expect to need a valid driver's license, proof of income (such as recent pay stubs), proof of residence (like a utility bill), and your down payment.

Are all your preowned vehicles inspected before being sold?

Yes, every single vehicle in our inventory undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection process conducted by our skilled technicians. We check all major systems, including the engine, transmission, brakes, and electrical components, to ensure they meet our stringent standards for safety and reliability. We are committed to selling only quality preowned vehicles that you can depend on.

Do you accept trade-ins?

We are happy to accept trade-ins. Trading in your current vehicle is an excellent way to lower your overall purchase price and reduce your monthly payments.

*Liability-only insurance may be accepted at the time of vehicle purchase; however, full coverage insurance is required for the duration of the retail installment contract. If the customer fails to obtain or maintain comprehensive and collision coverage, the dealership or its finance partner may obtain Collateral Protection Insurance (CPI) to protect its interest in the vehicle. CPI covers the vehicle only, does not provide liability or personal coverage to the customer, and the cost of CPI may be added to the customer's account as permitted by law.
