Drive time bridge crest They took my trade in vehicle still made me put more money down I couldn't finance cause my credit was bad so they put me on lease to own I changed employment so I asked to make adjustments on my lease they refused anytime my car was not working correctly took it to there vendors and they would say wasn't covered so repairs came from my pocket , Riverside Ca
so I'm driving to work the car shut completely off I'm stranded so I have to call my personal insurance and get it towed at my exspense they don't have a emegency contact insurance so if I didn't have my own insurance I'll be stranded I have a job so I had to take a taxi cause there offices are closed weekends I'm pretty sure they are gonna make me pay for the engine even though it's only been a year I've been leading and supposibly the engine has five year warranty but they will find away to make there customers responsible for there lemon I still have no car to go to work taxi is exspensive

First of all, I have nothing to do with DriveTime. I know about loans though.
From your post, it sounds like you are not familiar with how the auto loan industry works. Brief highlights: the lower your credit score, the higher the down payment you have to put down and the higher the interest rate charged to you. If you have bad credit, then these types of lenders won't even allow you to buy, you have to 'lease to own' the car. DriveTime specializes in consumers with bad credit. These types of deals are bad deals for the consumer. The rates are very high because the risk is high to the lender.
Spend some time learning about credit and debt so you can improve your score. This way you can purchase a vehicle from a legitimate type source that doesn't just handle bad credit loans. Once you learn about credit and debt and improve your score, you will be able to get a loan through a credit union and pay much less interest and lower payments.
The thing is - you also have to take responsibility for the maintenance of the vehicle. When you buy a vehicle, you have to maintain the vehicle at your expense. You can't call up the lender and say you want to change payment dates for X reason. The loan has nothing to do with the maintenance of the vehicle.
Do some research. Your post shows you have a lot to learn about owning a vehicle. Learn the right way from professionals and not those around you as they have been giving you the wrong guidence. (This is gleaned from your post). Good luck.
