I'm thinking more about the dealers who run those "bad credit, no credit? No problem" scams where they finance directly, like Rent-a-Center but with a car loan. Legal loansharking, at least until someone notices. If this dealer was operating in a different state they might not have run afoul of consumer protection laws.
