[QUOTE="Claude Raines, post: 651948, member: 416"] I'm don't really have any advice for you but I do understand your frustration. The only thing I can say is buy a Saturn. They are the only dealer that has ever treated me with respect, listened to what I was willing to spend and stayed within it, and didn't treat me as a schmoe to be taken advantage of. When my fiance went to buy a truck from Dodge (Ontario Dodge in California - NEVER buy from them), we had all sorts of problems. We bought the truck for $20,000 with 0 down/0% financing. Three days later they called us and told us that the loan wasn't bought by their parent company because we weren't approved for this amount at 0/0. Instead we had to come in and pay an additional $1000 immediately if we wanted to keep the truck. We went in and told them to take the truck back. They wouldn't do it and kept insisting that we immediately pay them some money. They kept insisting that they had the right to change the contract (they didn't) and we didn't. We told them to give us our money back for the lojack that we were to have installed and we would give them the truck back. At that point when they realized we would not give them any money, they told us that they couldn't take the truck back and the original deal was binding (basically they did not want to be stuck with a used vehicle instead of selling it new). So in the end we were stuck with the truck because they couldn't force us to pay the extra money, nor could they legally back out of the contract (although they could rewrite it with our agreement, which is what theywere trying to do). To top it off, they never told their service department about the bedliner, lojack, and towing hitch that was supposed to be installed so when we took the truck back for the work, they did not have the parts. So really the only advice I have is never waiver on any of your demands, and make sure the loan has been approved before you leave with the car (takes about 30 min - don't believe anything else they say and don't sign until it is approved). Remember once they sign they are as legally bound to the contract as you are. Finally, I suggest finding a place that conducts business like Saturn (no haggling) as these places won't try to rip you off or keep pushing payments higher than you request. [/QUOTE]
