Low on credit? No problem!
If you want a used car but your credit score is in a bad state： we can make it easier for you! We know just how difficult times can get. That is why we do not do a credit check. We know that a customer's credit score is not the only measure of his/her ability to buy a can In-house financing
We offer 100 percent in-house financing to our customers and do not rely on third-party lenders. With this, customers also get a Buy Here Pay Here offer. For example, if we have a $ 5,000 used vehicle, we would typically require half the cost as a down payment. The remaining would be paid at $ 200 or so per month.
Low down payment deals
Based on the number of used cars we have at the time，we even offer low down payment deals for some cars less than $ 5,000, allowing customers to pay as little as $ 1,000 as a down payment
Call us today to find out just how close you are to owning your own car! 360-423-7054 ~~~褚篇睡读；本文是一篇应用文。

Children who are given pocket money are less likely to save up as adults than those who have part-time jobs，according to a report by economists. They said parents can shape their children by encouraging them to carry out some paid work such as delivering newspapers^ babysitting or washing a neighbour" s can
The research team from the University of Sheffield in the UK asked more than 3,200 local children whether they had a part-time job or relied on their parents for pocket money, and then they compared spending habits of the two groups. The research found there was a distinct difference in the influences of these two different income sources on their saving behavion The research concluded: One percent increase in the child" s allowance （零花钱）is connected with 18 percent decrease in the probability that the child saves* In contrast, the weekly pay that the child receives from part-time work is positively connected with the probability of saving. The research also found that working had positive long-term effects on the possibility that a child will grow up to be good with money* Whether a person saved during childhood has a large effect on the probability of saving in adulthood, according to the report.
Children are legally allowed to work from the age of 13, with the exception of children who are paid for modeling or acting in TV shows. Adrian Roper, from the National Federation of Retail Newsagents^ said，^Delivering newspapers is a wonderful opportunity for children looking for the first job，because it is simple and safe, although the income may not be so high•” But he added that new rules have made it more difficult for children to do this type of work, such as only being allowed to do one hour" s work before school and not

根据第二段中的"asked more than 3,200 local children whether they had a part-time job or relied on their parents for pocket money” 可知，在这项调查中，对这3 200名孩子按照零花钱的不同来源（来自自己的兼职收入或来自家长给的零用钱）进行研究。
