I've had company vehicles most of my life so I'm a dumbass on stuff like this.

We've settled on a purchase price.

I have financing through Chase. Dealer is saying he can't get the title that Chase needs bc system is down. I don't believe it but whatever.

He's applied to get me financing in house so that the title isn't a huge deal - they have good reviews online so I mostly trust them. Then hell send me the title once it's available. Again I realize this is BS but does it matter?

Question is this - since he's doing the financing in house now he's saying that the taxes will be paid here and now instead of at the DMV. This raises our agreed upon price by 5.1% - the rate of the state where I live and work.

Is this legit?

I'd tell him to frick off.

If he can't beat the rate you have through Chase, tell him you'll wait.

Run or walk away at a brisk pace. You are doing them a favor by purchasing and not the other way around

Agreed. If they want to play games, make them pay for it

They make money off financing (or at least have incentives to do so), so that purchase price you thought you settled on has now changed on their end

Did the actual price change or are they just adding in taxes now?.. because you have to pay taxes at some point regardless of if it's in the fianancing or going to the DMV yourself.. make sure your rate is the same or lower.. if rate is lower and they are just adding taxes and you still like the car deal do it

It's really not that hard to buy a car.. they're going to make money.. these dealers live in mansions not trailer homes.. just be smart they don't have to make it all on you

Yah they just added in taxes today rather than me pay at DMV. It's all good. That was my main concern as I've not experienced that before

It is not hard to buy a car, and dealer does not always make $, promise you that. The owners of the dealerships live in mansions, majority of people in business live in average to below average homes, I dont know where everyone thinks salespeople or people that work at dealerships make some much $, if that was the case there would be more people in the business.

Speaking of dealerships, went in to one last night to drive one of the new stangs and they told me they are selling the new raptors for like 15k over sticker. wtf is up with that? I don't remember it being that way when they first came out, but maybe I'm wrong.


Also, do what everybody else said above.

Somewhat off topic.

My wife's friend came over today so her kid could play with my youngest. She bought a used Tahoe this morning. price was 39K for it, but got 8500 in trade for a caravan she owed 7000 on. So got it for 30,500. With taxes, fees, etc.

Financed it over 7 years at 16.9 percent interest.

I had to go outside to my garage to prevent myself from losing my shite.

Maybe they took the $7000 she owed on the trade and rolled it into the amount she financed.

I've heard of people doing that.

It is 37,500. Posting while drinking IPA's is bad... mkay?

39,000 for tahoe
less 8500 trade
plus 7000 rollover balance

total 37,500. That's what I meant to say.

If you went outside, you're better than I....I would have said something. Several somethings. Also, as an aside, WTF is up with Tahoes? It's the mom car of a certain segment of ladies I encounter, and it always seems to pair w/tri-tone highlighted hair, a certain age, gel nails, and sorority membership at a regional state school. I could really name a dozen women I know who fit that exact description who drive various colors & years of Tahoes.
