Turn Lost Sales Into Profits
Dealers
Meridian Buyers Group, LLC, opened in November 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, LLC?
- A matching inventory. Cars priced up to $18,000 are a good fit for our customer niche. Reliable, basic vehicles that fulfill our customers' 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 fewer are what we target. However, we realize that in challenging markets, these vehicles may be hard to find. That is why we view every vehicle's 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 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 contract with the customer.
What Makes Meridian Unique?
- We are after a win-win. We want our dealers to know they can get 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.
