Why we need a down payment (and don't do $0 down)

We'd rather be honest than set you up to fail.

You'll see ads for "$0 down" or "no money down" cars. Ask two questions: what's due at signing, and what gets added to the balance. We tell you both up front.

A down payment of at least $1,000 is required. The exact amount depends on the vehicle, and it's all you pay to drive away. Tax, tags, title and fees are built into your deal and listed line by line on your contract, so you see every dollar before you sign.

The $1,000 also signals something to us about commitment. Folks who scrape together $1,000 tend to make their payments. We'd rather start a relationship that actually works than chase a "$0 down" promise that wrecks both of us.

Down payment FAQ

What folks actually ask.

What's the lowest down payment at Mountville Motors?
A down payment of at least $1,000 is required. It's all you pay to drive away, with nothing else due at signing. Tax, tags, title and fees are built into your deal and listed line by line on your contract.
What does my down payment cover?
Your down payment is all you pay to drive away. Tax, tags, title and the document fee are built into your deal and financed with the vehicle, along with the optional service contract if you add it. Each one is listed line by line on your contract before you sign.
Can I get a car with bad credit if I have the down payment?
Yes. Whether you have excellent credit, no credit, or past credit issues, we don't run a traditional credit check. A down payment of at least $1,000 is required. We look at documented income, residence and income stability, your down payment, and a valid PA driver's license.
What are the weekly payments?
Payments are structured weekly or every two weeks, matched to how you actually get paid. Specific payment amounts depend on the vehicle, your down payment, and your situation. Text us with the vehicle you're interested in and we'll walk you through the exact drive-away breakdown for your specific case.
Can I put more down to lower my payment?
Absolutely. Putting more down than the minimum typically reduces your weekly payment and the total amount financed. We'll show you the math so you can pick the structure that works for your budget.
Do you have $0 down or no money down cars?
We need a down payment, and at least $1,000. We're upfront about that. With a "$0 down" offer, ask what's due at signing and what gets added to the balance. The down payment we quote for your vehicle is an honest drive-away number, with tax, tags, title and fees itemized in writing. If you're close or just need a couple weeks to get there, text us. We'd rather talk it through than wave you off.
