Net savings with Oakland Car Title Loans
It was really dumb that I was taking a taxi from the Fruitvale BART station to MIlls College every day. And when I tried doing it by public transportation, it took an hour to go a couple miles. So I decided to get a commuter bike, the kind that folds up and you carry it with you.
They only cost about $500. But I had to declare bankruptcy last year, so I have bad credit. Also, no credit cards and no extra cash lying around. This all added up to no bike. But I was losing money and time connecting to the BART, so I knew I had to SOMETHING.
I did a Google search for “fast cash” and “loans with car title.” That’s how I found Oakland Car Title Loans. They are entirely online, with an online application that is super easy — I took only 15 minutes to complete it – and I discovered even my 1998 Toyota Avalon could get me the $500 loan with ease.
I bought the bike the next day (money is sent by EFT to your checking account) and I started my bike commute the following week. In four months of biking, five days a week plus a lot on weekends, I have actually lost eight pounds and saved more than $500 on taxi and bus fares — the thing paid for itself already!
This is a lesson — think creatively about your transportation options, and how you finance them. Impossible situations are sometimes possible after all.
