 PROFILE
A message straight from the duck's bill: "Life sucks without a car." Ugly Duckling is a leading used-car dealership chain, primarily targeting low-income customers and those with credit problems. To cater to these subprime customers, the company is a "buy here-pay here" dealer, meaning it finances and services car loans rather than using outside lenders (interest rates range from 20%-30%). Ugly Duckling operates about 80 dealerships in metropolitan areas in eight states. Cars average about $8,600 and usually are between four and seven years old. The company plans to open 15 to 20 new dealerships annually. Chairman Ernest Garcia owns around 56% of Ugly Duckling and has offered to buy the rest.
