Nonprofit Alternative Car-Buying Service – More Than Wheels!

by Not Signed In | Living | 5269 Views

Tired of buying clunkers? Frustrated by the interest rates you are being quoted to finance a new or gently used car?

Are you familiar with the nonprofit, More Than Wheels?

It’s an award-winning alternative car-buying service that has helped more than 2,000 individuals and families get on top of their finances, address credit issues, and buy reliable vehicles at great rates (3-4% recently) with no down payment required.

And thanks to a grant from the Canaday Foundation, More Than Wheels is expanding throughout Vermont!

Regardless of your credit score, if you have enough income left over after paying your bills to make a monthly car payment and cover related expenses (insurance, maintenance & gas) AND you are ready to address every item on your credit report, you probably qualify. You can find out for sure by completing a short survey at http://www.getareliablecar.org/.

      I agree, Vidda. It's not for

      I agree, Vidda. It’s not for everyone because it requires commitment but for those who are sick of avoiding creditors or subjecting themselves to predatory lenders, it’s a great option. The default rate is less than 5%, thanks to More Than Wheels’ partnerships with lenders and auto dealerships (including Brattleboro Subaru)and the support available throughout the loan by MTW’s wonderful financial coaches. They are great at helping find extra dollars in folks’ budgets to put toward car payments & advising people on how to negotiate with each and every creditor.

      More Than Wheels has begun putting a lot of great content related to transportation solutions & money management (including info on student loan repayment options recently) on a blog. Check it out if so inclined:
