Can you imag­ine that you want to buy a new car, but you just dont make a whole lot of mon­ey and well sad­ly your cred­it is just not as good as you hoped it would be. You go down to the deal­er­ship and they say sor­ry guy but your just do not qual­i­fy now if you qual­i­fied for some of the spe­cial pro­grams then per­haps we could help you out but well sor­ry, (have a nice day now)

Why are they doing this?
