Welcome to the lucrative, predatory world of subprime car loans.

In 2011, Don Foss, perhaps the richest used-car salesman in the history of the world, commissioned a half-hour film about himself and posted it to YouTube. The Don Foss Story opens with one of his TV ads from the 1970s, ads for which Foss hired an actor to portray him. [[The real Foss, who is portly and balding, says he might have played himself "if I looked like Robert Redford.") At the ad's conclusion, we meet the film's narrator: "Today I'm going to guide you through the story of a truly remarkable man," he intones before lobbing the auto billionaire his first softball: "Don, your story pretty much epitomizes the great American Dream. I'm sure everybody wants to know how you did it."

Crap like this is one good reason for decent alternative modes of transportation.

Have not heard about Foss in ages. Buy used, cash older cars without financing is the mode if you can stand to drive an older car. He was known by all my friends and family as a mega scammer.

It's be better to get a loan from a credit union then finance with most used car shops. Especially the ones that sell crap cars!
