The dealership was clean and sophisticated, the people there were helpful and they listened to my requests and respected my money limit

At the time, I knew I wanted a Japanese car. They are known for their reliability, gas efficiency, and longevity. My previous car was a Dodge Intrepid that got less efficient gas mileage and constantly had transmission problems. That dealership was very close to work, and was willing to finance the purchase despite my poor credit, although they did charge me a very high interest rate.
