Yard report from Houston, TX: Bayou City Car Credit runs about 48 vehicles, weighted toward in-house financing (buy-here-pay-here). Dealer permit posted at the office window; checked against the state board and it is current, roughly 9 years on the books.
Lot address: 209 Credit Row, Houston, TX. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near Houston lot gate.
- Doc fee: $599, printed on the buyer's order — not a surprise line at signing.
- Pre-purchase inspection allowed on their lift or off-site — no pushback.
- Titles: staff says about 84% of units have title in hand; they showed the folder when asked.
- Coverage: a 30-day/1,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Lane verdict: workable but negotiate. The metal is fine; the add-on sheet (etch, nitrogen, prep) is where they make their margin. Strike the soft add-ons and the deal pencils.
