              I wouldn't recommend this company nor would I ever use them again if my life depended on it. The customer service is terrible they are rude over the phone they ****** you from day 1 like they just assume you're not gonna pay them WEEKLY and the first day when we went on the test drive the dealer lost my driver's license somewhere between his desk and the copier and never even attempted to find it I LOOKED his response was oh ok just give you the 14 dollars to replace it never got it back never got the money to replace it either. They are terribly unprofessional all around I could on and on
