This has not happened yet but I was curious what the results would be.

Let's say I sign a buy order for a vehicle. It goes to financing but financing falls through...am I liable for the purchase still at that point?

Normally you only put a deposit up for the vehicle to be built. I would assume they set your financing up before placing the order though.

No it's a used vehicle purchase.

not in my case


i put a 500 dollar deposit down to order my truck

we agreed upon a price (contingent upon current rebates), and nothing else was done until the truck came in


i could have easily chosen not to buy, but would have likely been out 500 bucks.....they would have probably allowed me to use that 500 on another vehicle, though it never came up in conversation

Not a failed financing issue, but I put a $500 deposit to hold a vehicle oout of town until I could get there on the weekend.

Drove to Atlanta, vehicle was not as advertised so I didn't purchase. Good thing I put deposit on credit card, they weren't going to give me my deposit back.

No, you are not.

This happens quite often. You'll walk with the vehicle before the financing is finalized. The next day they'll call you back and say they could not get the rate you agreed to due to X, Y, Z (such as first time buyer restrictions) and you'll have to resign at new rates, or return the car.

Any dealer that does this is out their minds...

It's called a spot delivery and is quite common, if not the norm.

Have your money in order before you go.

I know Capital One has a car loan program and they will approve you for so much. You walk in and speak from cash instead of "what my payment be" crap.
