used car dealers that will finance you for a vehicle
purchase. However, you must be prepared to pay high
interest. This is due to your past record. There is no way
to get around that. The best thing you can do, is try to
repair your reputation. You need to make your payments on
time.
These places may require you to make weekly payments. You
may need to go to the dealer each week and pay cash. Car
prices will be considerably higher there. However, this is
the price you pay for past problems.

pickup truck from your uncle for two thousand dollars. You
may pay him one hundred dollars down and two hundred a
month. You make these payments until the truck is paid for.

is because you all of your payments are going to your loan
principle.

make the same demands. They want their investment in your
vehicle to be protected from damage. You will need to do
this until the car is paid for.

your vehicle for, is liability coverage. Your uncle should
not demand that you have full coverage on the car. It
probably will not matter to him. You will not have to buy
expensive collision coverage.
