Bad Credit Car Dealership Near Pittsburgh

What a bad credit buyer can expect here

Crivelli has said it plainly: if someone has bad credit, the store wants that business. Its finance team is strong at sub-prime financing and shops your application across multiple lenders to find an approval that fits.

The honest part: no dealer can promise every application is approved, and Crivelli does not. What it offers is a real look at your application and a straight answer.

First-time buyers with little or no credit

No credit history is not the same as bad credit, and first-time buyers are welcome. The finance team walks you through what lenders look at and which vehicles fit your range. More detail on first-time buyer financing.

What helps your approval

• Steady income and time on the job.
• A down payment, which lowers the amount financed.
• A realistic vehicle choice. A used or certified pre-owned car is often easier to approve.
• A trade-in, appraised on-site and applied to the deal.

Is it worth the drive from Pittsburgh?

Crivelli is at 1520 Route 31 in Mount Pleasant, about 45 minutes southeast of downtown Pittsburgh. Closer lots exist. Buyers make the drive for a franchise dealer that wants their business, new and used inventory to choose from, and a family that has run the store since 1989.
