Default Bought a Car

Last week, I asked if a 636 was a bad credit score for buying a car. Well, I was going to get a 2000 Ford Explorer for $9,000. After "reviewing" my credit, I was told that I could get a $6,000 loan with almost 19% interest. The other route I could go was to get a co-signer and "only" pay 14.5% interest. I said no thanks and walked away. So then my boss sold me his old 1994 Toyota Camry for $2,000. The best part is I don't have to pay him. He will automatically take out $75 per paycheck until it's paid off.

The only bad part is that it won't help your credit.

That's a good car for a pretty good price. If it's been kept in reasonable condition, you'll be able to get quite a few more years on that car. I've got about 160k on my 88 Toyota Corolla, and it still runs great. I think it's got 10 more years in it easy. Toyota does a great job of building cars that last.

It has 135,000 miles on it. My boss owns a truck company so I know he took good care of it.

Yea I know. I don't have any credit cards though. I just got a secured mastercard about 2 weeks ago. It should help get me started.
