    And that, folks, is the sad truth of it. Several hundred potential buyers come of age every hour. What do they need you for?

    Honda, Toyota, Mazda were all OK. Then I drove a Acura.

    Switch?

    They lie to you, straight to your face, and you're worried about messing up your relationship?

    "it had some miles on it" Also known as "used."

    "the dealer gave me $6k" ----- 12% from the dealer is great shakes? Everything else you would have gotten anywhere. Did you shop the deal?

    Sorry. Knew it was FCA. Still think a full tank is standard, especially if new. Anything on the window sticker?
  8. duquephart
    I thought a full tank is standard. Might want to check with GM.

    And they wonder why folks think they're complete slimeballs.

    Indeed. They "sell" the loan and get a spiff of some sort. Every kid on the corner knows that. It's in their interest for you to keep the loan and hence their interest in you doing so. But, as I said, they have nothing to do with the nuts and bolts of the loan.

    Dealerships don't impose anything, they just arrange the loan.

    Should be from the date titled. Better get to the bottom of this.

    They set the hook with the rebate/incentive. Skinning you alive with the interest rate comes later.
  14. duquephart
    Guy I spoke said there is a minimum loan amount and a minimum number of payments to retain the rebate - if paid off early the rebate is charged back to the balance. Presumably this would all be detailed in the paperwork. This came from a salesman so probably questionable info at best.

    Why not cash in on a free $1500?
  16. duquephart
    Getting a good rate is not the ultimate goal. Getting an additional $1500 discount and then getting a good rate, through refinancing, is the goal.

    Did they explain why they'd like you to make 3 payments? 3 payments seems clearly to be the demarcation line. If I was sitting across from a dealer and he was candid enough to outline the scenario and ask me to comply I'd probably be impressed with his honesty and actually give it some thought. For about 28 seconds on my way to my bank.

    You have located one of the "dirtball" dealers I referred to.
  19. duquephart
    The dealer gets his spiff for selling the loan once the loan has been in force for three months. And not until. You refinance immediately they lose out. That's why they take steps to convince you not to refinance until that much time has elapsed.
  20. duquephart
    Call them out. Complete and utter nonsense.
  21. duquephart
    The down payment assistance didn't come from the dealer. Was it a GM document? Sounds like a steaming pile of turtle shit to me. Getting "a good price on the truck" is no reason to roll over.
  22. duquephart
    There is such a thing as dealers who will not allow a test drive until a credit ap is filled out. I know there are "good" dealers out there but there are clearly a lot of dirt balls as well. Researching dealers is just as important as researching vehicles. My advice to anyone is to spend the first couple days of a car-buying journey no more than a few inches away from your keyboard.
  23. duquephart
    Why wait two months?
  24. duquephart
    It's a semantics thing. Chevrolet says they qualify as AT so that's that. You aren't the first guy to feel raped.
  25. duquephart
    Indeed. I reviewed the thread I referred to. Z71 (at least in '17) come equipped with Fortitude (18") or SR-A (20"), neither of which is considered to be an AT tire by anyone. Except Chevrolet that is.
