Complaint Review: JD Byrider

I have bad credit due to a car accident I was in when I was 18. Anyone with credit problems knows that can be a barrier for buying a reliable car. Due to lack of options I had to purchase one through JD Byrider.

I bought my car in March 2007. A 1999 Ford Escort. The Bluebook value for this car is about 6500.00. After all is said and done I will have paid over Fourteen thousand for it (314.00 a month). I would have just sucked this up to my bad credit and accepted that you have to sacrifice to rebuild it. However they sold me a huge piece of crap! I have had several problems with my car and have had to have it repaired multiple times in less than a year. When I purchased the car I was told it was reliable and had had only one owner. The one owner part was true but that is where the truth ended. I test drove the car and it seemed fine. Shortly after buying it though it began to make a loud whining noise and vibrated something awful. They have failed to fix the problem on more than one occasion. Now my car has died and I cannot get it started. I will have to pay to have it towed to JD Byrider for repairs...Again.

To sum this up what I am saying is Do Not buy a car from JD Byrider! They will take you for all you are worth and sell you a lemon that is not nearly worth what you will pay for it. I have come across several other complaints that match this one. I still have 2 years to pay on a car that has caused me nothing but problems. The sales people seemed very interested to help me out during the process of buying the car but have been completely unconcerned with any of my issues since then.

So Buyer Beware!
