You’re starved. You order the large meat lovers. You only need 2 slices, but you eat the whole pizza. The next day is tough and you knew it would happen. Habits like these are unhealthy and can often lead to terrible consequences. Funding your Buy Here Pay Here dealership is much the same.

With high debt to equity ratios, the down turn in the economy caused one of the worse economic periods many of us will ever experience. Bloomberg, Equifax, and the Financial Times have all warned that automotive could be the next financial crisis.
