Why people who got turned down buy here.

We own the cars and we hold the loans. That changes what we can say yes to, and it means we have to stand behind the car after you drive off.

Destiny C., MesaRebuilding
Two banks and a credit union said no. DriveTime approved me on my phone in the parking lot at work, $1,000 down on a 2022 Elantra. Fourteen months of on-time payments later my score is up 84 points.
Luis H., DallasGood
I brought my own financing and they beat it. The 5-day return mattered to me; I took the Equinox to my mechanic on day two and he found nothing.
Monica A., OrlandoNo history
First car, no credit history, my mom co-signed. They moved a Pacifica from Charlotte to Orlando for free and had it ready Saturday.
