How to Buy Your Next Used Car With Challenged Credit

Are you searching for a reliable Joliet used car but worried about your credit?

Whether you have no credit, low credit, or past financial struggles, our Buy Here Pay Here Joliet and Buy Here Pay Here Bolingbrook programs are designed to get you behind the wheel of a dependable used car.

Understanding Buy Here Pay Here Financing:

Traditional lenders often reject applicants with lower credit scores, making it difficult to secure financing. However, our Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) financing is different. At Gerald Auto Sales, we provide in-house financing, meaning you can make payments directly to us instead of dealing with banks or third-party lenders. This allows us to approve more customers, even those with challenged credit histories.
