Frequently Asked Questions

Buying a car — especially when credit isn’t perfect — comes with a lot of questions. Below are the ones we hear most at DDG Cars in Griffin, GA. If you don’t see your question here, call us at 404-383-4787 or email sales@ddgcars.com and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Financing & Approval

Do you work with bad credit or no credit?
Yes. DDG Cars offers two ways to get financed — in-house Buy Here Pay Here or bank financing we help arrange — and all credit situations are welcome, good, bad, or no credit at all. We look at your whole situation, not just a number.

What do I need to bring to get approved?
In general, bring a valid driver’s license, proof of income, and proof of where you live. Because we offer both in-house and bank financing, our process is often simpler and faster than a typical bank loan. Call us at 404-383-4787 and we’ll tell you exactly what to bring for your situation.

How much down payment do I need?
It depends on which financing path fits you. Bank financing arranged through DDG starts as low as $500 down, subject to approval. Our in-house Buy Here Pay Here option typically runs around $1,000 down. Give us a call and we’ll go over what would work for the car you’re interested in.

Do you check my credit at all?
Yes — we do look at your credit as part of getting to know your overall situation, but a low score or no credit file won’t automatically disqualify you. Your job and your ability to make payments matter just as much as what’s on a credit report. All credit welcome.

What if I’ve been turned down before — by a bank or another dealership?
That’s exactly who we’re here for. Being turned down elsewhere doesn’t mean much to us, because we’re not using the same approval process a bank uses. Apply and we’ll give you a fast, honest answer either way.

Can I apply online before I come in?
Yes — you can get pre-approved online in minutes at ddgcars.com/credit. Prefer to talk first? Call us at 404-383-4787 and we’ll walk you through the fastest way to get started before you even step onto the lot.

Buying Your Car

Can I trade in my current car?
Yes, we accept trade-ins. Bring your current vehicle by and we’ll take a look and let you know what it’s worth toward your next car.

Do your cars come with any warranty or guarantee?
Coverage can vary by vehicle. What we can tell you is that Ron personally inspects every car that comes onto our lot before it’s offered for sale. Call us at 404-383-4787 and we’ll go over the specifics for the car you’re interested in.

Can I see and test drive the car before I buy?
Absolutely. We want you to feel good about your decision, not rushed into it. Come by the lot at 523 W Poplar St in Griffin, take a look, and take it for a drive before you commit to anything.

How do payments work — weekly, biweekly, or monthly?
Payment schedules can vary depending on your financing path and situation. Give us a call at 404-383-4787 and we’ll go over exactly how payments work for the car you’re interested in.

What happens if I run late on a payment?
Life happens, and we understand that better than most. The best move is always to call us before a payment is due if you think you’ll be late — we’d rather talk it through with you.

Do you sell trucks, SUVs, and sedans, or just certain types of cars?
We carry a mix of vehicles — sedans, SUVs, and trucks — so there’s usually something on the lot that fits your budget and what you need it for. Inventory changes often, so the best way to see what’s available is to check with us directly or stop by.

Getting Started

What areas do you serve?

How long does it take to drive away in a car?
