Will you Vacation or STAYcation?


“To go or not to go?”      This seems to be the question most Americans  are asking themselves regarding a summer vacation this year. With  gas prices reaching extraordinary heights each day, many people will opt to stay home rather than go on a summer vacation.
 
More and More are choosing to Staycation ( that is  vacation that is spent at one’s home enjoying that entire home and  one’s home environs have to offer).  With all that is  impacting our economy today, it's not a great surprise that people simply do not have the money to spare for a vacation.
 
To go on vacation or not may not be the most serious question faced  by Americans in the current environment, but vacations have been a way of life for Americans for generations.!

Are You A Distracted Driver?

Distracted Driving is any activity that could divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving. These actions take the driver’s attention away from the road and traffic. Driving becomes secondary in importance to another activity that is happening inside the car, truck or cycle while the  vehicle is in motion.


 These types of distractions include:

•Texting

•Using a cell phone or smartphone

•Eating and drinking

•Talking to passengers

•Grooming

•Reading, including maps

•Using a navigation system

•Watching a video

•Adjusting a radio, CD player, or MP3 player




REMEMBER ...
All distractions endanger driver, passenger, and bystander safety.
  Distracted driving kills and injures thousands of people each year.

What can you  do:


•Protect lives by never texting or talking on the phone while driving.

•Be a good passenger and speak out if the driver in my car is distracted.

•Encourage my friends and family to drive phone-free.

What Makes Car-Lotta Different From Other Car Dealers?



* We know and assume that you have credit issues when you stop by, call or email us. We greet you with a smile and a hearty handshake and appreciate your business. We understand that good people can and do have credit problems. At some dealerships, when you tell them you have credit issues, they may not be very happy about it or helpful.

* Nothing you tell us is going to surprise us, or embarrass you. For over 24 years we have helped people just like you. Anything you have to tell us, will be handled professionally and held in confidence. Selling and financing cars to people with credit issues is our only business, this is what we do.

* Most dealerships are trying to make as much money as possible on every customer they sell...at CarLotta Credit our #1 goal is to make sure the car is affordable to you and fits in your budget. We want you to be able to afford your payments and pay your loan. Its better for you, and us.

* We report your on time payments to the credit bureaus on a regular basis, this can improve your credit score over time. Most other dealers do not do this.

* Most of our payments are set as weekly. This helps you judge your budget and stay current with your payments.



This is just a few of the things that make us different. Stop in, call, or email us and let us actually show you!
