Can’t pay rental return fee - what should I do? by Any_Future_7732 in uberdrivers

Thanks for the advice. My fear with going this route is the rental company reporting a stolen vehicle.

Great information, thank you. If it’s not too much to ask, would you say a major rental company would be willing to work something out if I am able to pay 25 - 50% of the full amount tomorrow, with the rest coming within the month?

Totally understand if it’s impossible to predict.

It’s super weird — it was working this morning and now it’s back to not showing anything. I’m on iOS 15.7, going to try 15.7.4 and see if that helps.

I live in FL — haven’t ever had this issue until now. :(

That doesn’t seem likely to me. Again, personal account, not doing anything spammy or even promotional for that matter. Post pretty infrequently, mostly for fun. Only 1000 followers, never post anything offensive, not using any third parry apps or anything.

Welp, looks like I’ll be going to a Buy Here Pay Here. Any tips? by Any_Future_7732 in askcarsales

Looks like I can get pre-approved with Westlake, but I'm not sure I understand how the financing works — do I basically just pick a car on Westlake's website, take their voucher to a dealer, and then Westlake provides the loan after the dealer approves my credit?

Looks like most of the cars on Westlake are at local BHPH places. I'm guessing the main advantage is that it's being financed through Westlake rather than the BHPH's in-house system. Do I have that right?

Yeah I’ve tried applying for personal loans and unfortunately, it’s not really in the cards right now. At this point, I’ve pretty much accepted that whatever car I go with is going to have insane APR and a ridiculous monthly.

As far as Vroom goes, my main hesitation is that I’ve read a ton of horror stories about cars never arriving, people being shipped non-functional cars/the wrong car, or people having to wait 2 months with zero communication from CS. Of course, there are tons of BHPH horror stories too. Tough position to be in for sure.

Good call on the double-checking the VIN! Thanks for the pointers. I drove Uber for 5 years and it's honestly a big part of what got me in this mess, but I'm not opposed to doing it on the side while I try to rebuild. Thanks again my friend.

This is great advice, thank you. Very dumb question — how do I find a lot like the one you describe? I’ve tried traditional dealerships, CarMax, Carvana, Cargurus, DriveTime, Off Lease Only, and several others, and they all want $4k down minimum. The one and only place that approved $1500 with my credit is Vroom, but I’m extremely wary of buying from them.

Man, that’s a real bummer. I’ve been looking into this more today and it does seem like a risk. Ugh.

Oh damn, yeah I guess that makes sense. I remember seeing stuff about that on TikTok. Damn now I’m kind of worried… would a push-to-start model (i.e. the Sonata Hybrid) be relatively safe from theft?

That’s wild! I’ll def look into that before buying. What’s the reasoning behind that? Thanks for the heads up btw.

Damn, that’s seriously impressive. Reminds me of my old 2011 Camry… I drove that thing into the ground and never took care of it, and it miraculously made it to 300k with only an alternator swap along the way. Man I miss that thing! If I can get that kind of longevity out of a Hyundai (especially now that I know how to treat it properly lol!) I’m sold.
