Buying a Car:

• As a OneWorld client you will be entitled to work with preferred dealerships on car buying and leasing transactions within the United States and from abroad
  
  
• Our Non U.S. born clients will not likely be eligible for many of the ‘special’ financing deals if you do not have an American credit history, however, we have worked efficiently to make sure that your car buying experience is fair and amenable.
  
  
• For all transferees whose assignments are less than 3-years, we encourage you to buy an automobile rather then lease due to overall cost savings. Many cars hold their value and you should be able to sell the car at the end of your assignment. If you would like to post a vehicle for sale, please click here www.owrelocars.com
