The first thing to remember is not to “loan” your car to anyone. That was a fast rule in our house when I was growing up. Believe me, getting the “borrow the car” when I was a teenager required some fast talk and a lot of promises. And my Mom had a Gremlin, for goodness sakes. It’s not like I was asking for the keys to the Bentley.
If someone continually harangues you for access to your car, suggest they get a Used Car Loan. Buy their own transportation. It’s not as difficult to get a loan as one would think. Tell them, you never know until you try to get a Car Loan — odds are that interest rates are spiffy right now and loan approval will come fast and furious. Customers nationwide can check an online loan service and get the much needed information right now. A previously loved vehicle is only a click and an online form away. Don’t hand them your keys, point them to the nearest internet source.
