Car with title loans in St. Louis bring new appliances
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008I don’t ask for a lot in life. A decent kitchen, a nice enough car, maybe, just maybe a decent husband. Happy with two out of three.
I have a decent career, but things didn’t turn out well in my first go at wedded bliss. So here I am, living in a small condo downtown, a far cry from the four bedroom house we had in LaDue. Cest la vie. But every time I opened the door on that ancient avocado green refrigerator, I thought about Marc the Maniac (my ex-husband). What he did to loose our business and ruin my credit rating was seen in that godawful kitchen.
At the very least I wanted a new refrigerator in my condo. They are a lot more energy efficient, enough to cut electricity bills by 40 percent. But the refrigerator I wanted was about $2000. I mean, if you’re going to buy something that lasts 30 years, get a good one. But again, I had bad credit so buying anything like that was unlikely in the current economic conditions.
But I saw a posting on the Internet from developers near Ballwin who were selling off new appliances from unsold condos. For half price. Brand new, never used, $1000 on the very exact same model I wanted. Plus a stove and dishwasher with the same stainless steel finish, also half price. Total cost would be $2700, knocked down from retail of around $6000. But I needed fast cash because you had to pick it up the following day. Panicked excitement set in.
I kept the BMW and own it free and clear, so I went to Car Title Loans in St. Louis, where they told me I could get up to $8,000 in a title loan. All I needed was around $3000 (to cover the transport and installment), so I filled out the online application. The cash transferred electronically to my checking account the next morning (the application takes about 20 minutes, and you get approved in about an hour).
The next day I had my new kitchen, and even got the delivery guys to haul away that avocado mess to the recyclers for free.
My friends laughed at me for using an auto money title loans company. Until they realized it saved me $3000. I recommend it to anyone considering it.
