CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Hometown Auto’s newly launched October special, dubbed “The Credit Purge,” isn’t just a promotional gimmick. It’s a beacon of hope for individuals who have previously faced challenges securing car financing due to their credit scores.
The promotion offers those with lower than average credit scores the opportunity to buy a car as if they have a higher score. This means that a buyer with a 500 credit score can enjoy rates normally reserved for those in the 600s, a 600 jumps up to rates typical of the 700s, and a 700 can experience benefits akin to an 800 score.
For countless potential car buyers, a lower credit score can be a significant barrier to car ownership. Often, these scores reflect past financial hardships rather than a person’s current ability to manage a car loan. Many who have faced unexpected medical expenses, job losses, or other unforeseen financial challenges find themselves branded by their past and locked out of financing options.
This is where Hometown Auto’s special steps in. By allowing customers to purchase a car as if their credit score was a whole tier higher, the dealership is essentially opening its doors to a segment of the population that has often been left behind in the car-buying process.
The cars available under this promotion, mainly from the 2020 model year or newer, range from SUVs and pickup trucks to sporty models. Jeeps, especially, have seen high demand and are flying off the lot.
General Manager Ed Bressler spoke passionately about the motivation behind “The Credit Purge.”
“We recognize that everyone has a story. Just because someone hit a rough patch doesn’t mean they should be denied the opportunity to own a reliable vehicle. With this offer, we’re hoping to level the playing field and bring HOME a car for everyone.”
Individuals interested in this unique opportunity are advised to act quickly during the month of October and ensure they mention they are there for “the purge.” As October winds on, the window for this groundbreaking offer narrows, making it imperative for hopeful car owners to seize the moment.
