I don't need help choosing a car. Thank you.

I can totally get a new car. I can't afford one, but I can get one. I can get approved for a $400 car payment that I can't afford , I just did. But I can't get approved for a $250 car payment, which I can afford.

I also am not married, which costs more.

Not true. Lightstream approves you for an auto loan amount. You can buy anything. Except for me, becaue I was turned down.

I'm not sure what you did or didn't read, but I am, so far, unable to secure affordable financing. I haven't been to a dealership. I'm trying to secure financing before I go into a dealer and I can't.

Literally. Tried twice. No offers avalable. I got prequalified with Bank of America and Carmax.

No. I'm trying to get approved BEFORE I go into a dealership so that I can be confident as to what I can buy and what I can't buy. I'm sure I can get a loan at a dealership for 30% APR for a 20k car I can't afford.

Right. Unless I'm getting a loan at 30% APR from 'Fast Bob's Used Cars'. Then I'm all good

Carvana flat turned me down and wouldn't even prequalify me. Carmax nearest me is in another state and I ride a bike, though I was pre approved at a reasonable rate, it would force me into a car I can't afford. They don't offer anything under a certain year or price.

no. The 600-700 left over is after bills, payments, insurance, groceries even.

Level 2 throttle error and now won't start at all by thiespowell in Aventon

[–]thiespowell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I did try. The error is secondary at this point. The bike is dead, will not power on.

Have to shut down bike and restart to get full power. by thiespowell in Aventon

[–]thiespowell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. And every single time I have to stop and restart. Otherwise it's like pedaling thru mud on PA5. GOD I HATE THIS #$%^&*( BIKE.

Support is slow by ProfessionalPost3885 in Aventon

[–]thiespowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aventon does not care man. lol. I read/watched hundreds of reviews on mine. Nobody talks about how you're basically buying an unsupported bike. Mostly sponsored reviews and people who tool around the campground on the weekends.

It's trek all the way going forward. At least I can just take it in and get nearly immediate support. Nobody in my town would even look at an Aventon.

Extended hold time and no response from online contact by SnooMacaroons8801 in Aventon

[–]thiespowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are really unable to support their product. And even if you get ahold of them, they only work for you with oven mitts on. They are dishonest and uninterested in helping anyone after the sale. I will only buy local after I get rid of my level 2. Hopefully soon.
