Dear Mr. Owings:
DriveTime Automotive Group, Inc. (“DriveTime”), on behalf of itself and the additional registrants thereto, requests that the effective date of the above-captioned Registration Statement be accelerated so that such Registration Statement will be declared effective at 4:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time, on April 29, 2011, or as soon as practicable thereafter, or at such later time as DriveTime may request by telephone to the Commission. DriveTime hereby authorizes David P. Lewis of DLA Piper LLP (US), counsel for DriveTime, to make any such request on DriveTime’s behalf. DriveTime hereby acknowledges that:
— should the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
— the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve DriveTime from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
— DriveTime may not assert the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
We request that we be notified of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement by telephone call to David P. Lewis of DLA Piper LLP (US) at (480) 606-5126.
