We-Pawn-Cars Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does pawning my car entail?
By pawning your vehicle through Car-Finance and Acceptable Auto, you’re placing up your vehicle as collateral to obtain a secure finance loan. This is done in place of qualifying for a loan the traditional way, through a credit check. If you have bad credit, this route can give you access to the cash you need. You can keep driving your car as you’ve always done, as long as you honour your repayment agreement.
