They only like to use their own finance company. I paid cash for the car so that wasnt an issue but initially i was pre-approved by RoadLoans, which they didnt want to use because of all the hoops they would have to jump through.
If the car checks out and is in good shape then i wouldnt hesitate. Its the first time i really bought a vehicle from a small private lot, so i was kind of naive to the process.
Since they noted that the vehicle was reported stolen at one point, I would make sure that gets fully explained before pulling the trigger.
Thanks for that info. Much appreciated
