Decided to check out the offer of loan termination/ trade in.. Big Scam!!!! Wasted my day… Not one late payment on current loan, Less than 4,000 on current loan, walked in with 2,000..My payments would have doubled!!! What a joke!

Lendward provided me a dealership with no pressure salesmen who were curtious, thoughtful, and helped me make the smartest decision. I originally went to CDJR Folsom for a trade in and with the salesmen fighting tooth and nail to get me a deal we decided to go the smart route without a trade in to get me into a brand new, more reliable vehicle. Very helpful and possible through Lendward
