Asking for a friend.

She has fallen behind on her car payment (which is horrendous) and they are now going to repossess her car if she doesn’t come up the money today. Looking very likely. She works in Okato so will need another car. Is anyone looking to sell their car, and for cheap? She will have to pay it off tho, after payday, every week. She earns $800 in the hand a week, so can definitely pay it off, if anyone is willing to sell her a car, with only a small deposit, rest to be paid off. Looking around $2-2,500 or may be $3,000.
Please call or text me 022 3053705. Thank you.

Price: $2,500
