I found the Jeep with all the specs I wanted online at - Ornery Mule Racing
I found the Jeep with all the specs I wanted online at Pilson. I called the dealership to say I wanted it, and they pre-approved me for a loan. I nailed down the purchase price & the interest rate on the loan I would get through them over the phone. It was all set. They marked the Jeep sold to wait for me to arrive.
I live four hours away so I drove down with my husband to finalize the sale. When we went to sign the sale/loan papers they said, "Oops, we made a mistake and your interest rate will be almost a full point more". I have a friend that works in finance at a car dealership. He told me this is a trick finance uses to make extra money on sales.
I guarantee if this would have been a truck my husband was buying- we would have walked out. My husband wanted me to walk. Since this was the vehicle I wanted & needed for my business. Plus we were so far away, and we both have busy jobs.... we paid it. They were betting on us doing that knowing all of this. We left feeling disappointed in the tactic used on us for them to make a little extra money.
