Election is just a month away (please do vote wisely, people!) and car sales are on the roll especially that the next president or administration may have an impact on the buying mood. On the other hand, those who took advantage of the good economy who defaulted on their payments are present. This list aims to help buyers on which bank to go in finding a specific vehicle they want. Will the Kia Rio or theToyota Vios wrestle the most repo'ed car from the Mitsubishi Montero Sport this month?
