Clementon is a borough in Camden County in South Jersey, incorporated in 1925 and named after Samuel Clement, who established a glassworks in the early 1800s. Located along U.S. Route 30 — the White Horse Pike — the borough is home to approximately 5,465 residents and covers just under 2 square miles along the shores of Clementon Lake.
Clementon borders Berlin Borough, Lindenwold, Pine Hill, and Pine Valley, and is easily accessible via the Route 30 corridor that connects directly to Stratford and the rest of South Jersey. Students attend Clementon Elementary School (PreK–8) and Overbrook High School in Pine Hill for grades 9–12.
The borough is home to Giambri's Quality Sweets, a beloved local candy maker founded in 1942, and holds a special place in American history as the hometown of Arthur Rose Eldred — the very first Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.
Clementon's ZIP code is 08021, area code 856 — the same as The Motor Zone. Residents commute throughout Camden and Gloucester Counties, and reliable transportation is essential to daily life here.
Public transit options in the Clementon area are limited. Most residents rely on personal vehicles to reach jobs in Stratford, Cherry Hill, Camden, and Voorhees. The Motor Zone makes it possible for Clementon families to get into a dependable used car — even with less-than-perfect credit.
Bank financing is our preferred path for Clementon customers — and we work hard to get you there, even with challenged credit.
At The Motor Zone, bank financing is our #1 priority for every customer. We've built relationships with a network of subprime and non-prime auto lenders who specialize in buyers that traditional banks have turned away.
We can often secure a real bank-backed auto loan for Clementon buyers with:
We submit your application to multiple lenders simultaneously to maximize your approval chances and get you the best available terms.
Unlike buy here pay here, a bank-financed loan reports your on-time payments to all three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Every payment you make on time helps rebuild your credit score. For Clementon buyers looking to improve their financial future, bank financing is the smarter long-term path.
For Clementon buyers who don't qualify for bank financing, our in-house BHPH program is here as a second-chance solution.
Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) financing means The Motor Zone serves as both the dealership and the lender. There's no third-party bank involved — we approve you, you pick your vehicle, and you make payments directly to us. Approval is based on your current income and down payment, not your credit history alone.
Our BHPH program is ideal for Clementon residents who:
We always try bank financing first. BHPH is a great option when bank financing isn't available — but bank financing is always our first goal for your benefit.

Yes. Bank financing is our primary and preferred financing path for Clementon-area buyers. We work with a network of lenders that specialize in subprime and non-prime auto loans. Unlike buy here pay here, bank financing often comes with lower interest rates, reports to all three major credit bureaus to help rebuild your credit, and provides traditional loan terms.

Subprime auto financing is a car loan designed for buyers whose credit score falls below the standard threshold — typically under 620 — that most banks and credit unions require for prime loans.

The Motor Zone works with multiple subprime lenders to help Clementon, NJ residents get approved for reliable used vehicles even with damaged credit.
With bank financing, a third-party lender provides the loan and you make payments to that lender — typically with better interest rates and credit bureau reporting. Buy here pay here (BHPH) means The Motor Zone finances you directly with no bank involved. BHPH is a great option when bank financing isn't available, but bank financing is always our preferred route for Clementon buyers who qualify.
