When I moved to from Ohio to Texas, I had some mechanical problems that were supposed to be covered under their warranty as they were recurrences of issues that their service technicians had supposedly fixed. I made several calls to the head of their warranty department and never got my calls returned. I paid out of pocket to fix the issues myself. No matter how badly you need a vehicle, do not purchase one from J.D. Byrider. They are not worth the effort.

In 1999 I went to this JD Byrider location to see if they were interested in buying my car. During my conversation with the owner he told me that him and several friends from his church were interested in helping "challenged individuals" find a way to buy cars so they purchased a JD Byrider franchsie. Sounded like an honorable thing. I sold them my 93 Tempo for $2,000. I had no problems with the transaction. About a week later I drove by and seen my Tempo on their lot with a list price of almost $8,000!! Couple that with the high interest rates and one understands why the poor get poorer.
