Car Title Money Ads  email this discussion to a friend?

Oh I hate those ads. They make it sound so easy. Bring in your title, get money and you're done. You have the money and your car. What the ad does not make clear is you are taking out a loan against the value of your car. If you don't pay the loan -- plus the 300% interest -- you lose your car.

Anyone else seen those ads? How do you feel about them? What do you think of people who fall for thos ads (be polite).

Hi rosettaresearch, If it's to good to be true, it usually is. Also they need to read the "fine Print" and "asked questions". Happy myLottingthumbuphappy

Yep. But, you would be amazed how many people who should know better don't read the fine print. So, the company is counting on your average financially unsophisticated person who needs a little cash to get through the month to not read it either.

Like I said, sometimes, you get a bit behind because of things outside your control. But, if you are taking out a loan on your car to go on vacation or buy that big screen tv, you deserve what you get.

Thanks for reading my response! I am always telling my children now they are young adults to read the "The Fine Print" and don't be ashame to asked questions. I have never understand why people don't. Before, I would get a "Car Loan" (The kind that we are discussion), I would have a yard sell or something else to get me through the month. Have a wonderful day here and in your personal life.thumbuphappy

I think people who fall for ads like that are financially immature. Unfortunately, our culture caters to them so that it takes bankruptcy or some other awful event to make them grow up.

Yeah, we do need to do more to educate people about finances. But, even the federal government is not doing much. They have been bailing out the auto industry for stupid decisions for decades. They recently stopped advertising the savings bond program, which could encourage people to save not spend.

No, I haven't seen these ads yet, but I'm not surprised by them. 300% is a very high interested rate...it's like borrowing money from a loan shark! I don't like deceptive advertising at all. Never did like it. If you're offering a fair deal you have no reason to try to trick people. Leave that nonsense to the politicians, I say!
I think if most people realized the risk they would not do such a risky loan. Most people anyway.

Payday Loans are being limited in many places by law. So, now these places are springing up to take advantage of those who can't or won't live within their means. The only way to stop this is to teach people how to handle their money better. Of course, there will always be those who take the easy way out. But, then, they deserve what they get.

I have seen those ads but I know how they trick people. It always says restrictions apply or read the fine print and people don't realize if you miss even one payment they can legally take your vechicle away from you that is what those places are trying to do. Stay away from those shady loan places. The same goes for those cash advance places look at the interest rate they are charging you will run the other way!

See my comment above about the connection between these places and payday loan places.

Yep, they go to great lengths to hide the fact that if you don't pay you lose your car. That's how they make their money. They get their interest, then eventually, they get your car to sell. Trust me, they did not loan you near what it was worth.

I was watching the news and they said that these places are doing better then ever due to people not being able to get loans else where. I guess they have a good thing going for themselves.
