Dealers

Meridian Buyers Group opened November of 2007 with a simple philosophy.  We look to give honest, hard-working people who have had credit challenges in the past a second chance at financing a car and re-establishing their credit.  Every interaction we have with our customers is centered on helping them get their credit back on track and moving up the credit scale for their next car loan.

What Dealers are a good fit for Meridian Buyers Group?

  • A matching inventory. Cars priced up to $18,000 are a good fit for our customer niche.  Reliable, basic vehicles that fulfill our customer’s transportation needs.  Exotic, Luxury or expensive German vehicles are not a good fit for Meridian.
  • Models 12 years and newer and 130,000 miles or less are what we target. However, we realize in challenging markets these vehicles may be hard to find.  That is why we view every vehicle year and mileage on a case-by-case basis.
  • We view our dealers as Business Partners.  Your success is our success and vice versa.  We strive to provide financing options that serve our dealers and our customers.

What Kind of Customers to do we Finance?

  • At MBG we consider ourselves more of a “middle sub-prime” Finance Company. We target Fico’s 525 and above.   However, we have a common-sense judgmental underwriting philosophy knowing many customers are “more than just a Fico score”.
  • A stable residence and income source are very important.
  • We are looking for good people who need a second chance.

What states does Meridian operate in?

  • Currently Meridian operates in the States of Tennessee and Kentucky.

How long does it take for me to get paid on a deal?

  • Dealers that submit a complete funding package will get paid within 24 hours via ACH to your bank account. When we receive a funding package we verify the job, residence, stipulations and the contract with the customer.

What Makes Meridian Unique?

  • We are after the Win/Win. We want our dealers to know they can get a fair approval, a common-sense underwriter, and quick, hassle free funding. We want to structure a car deal for them that is going to give our customers the best chance to succeed.

“Meridian always has great customer service and personal attention. Whenever we’ve had an onsite sale, they’ve personally been there for us, approving deals and helping us make more sales. From time to time, we have an urgent deal to close, and we’ve been able to make the sale because they always answer the call.”
