****urgent Help****

Have To Meet A Dealer Tomorrow. Dealer Says I Need To Deposit Some Money, 500 Usd And Car Will Be There In 3 Days, Guaranteed.

1. We Have Agreed On An Out The Door Price.
2. Delear Says Apr Will Be Offered Only After The Buyer's Paperwork.
3. I Know The Bottomline On Apr That I Am Willing To Offer.

Questions;

1. If After Signing The Understanding And Giving A Deposit, I Do Not Agree On The Apr, Will I Still Be Able To Walk Out?
2. How Should I Make Sure That I Get The Money Back If I M Not Convinced After They Tell Me The Apr
3. Whar Care Should I Take To Get This Deal

Thanks.****URGENT HELP********URGENT HELP****

I wouldn't sign anything, or give any money to anyone, unless everything is known and agreed upon - APR included.

When all the ducks are in a row and everything is known; draw up the contract (which I believe has APR in it), sign the deal, drop the deposit, and wait for delivery...in that order.

The dealer just needs your credit information to provide you with the APR. Visit the dealer and provide him all this info and tell him, you will put down a deposit right away if he comes back with a decent APR.

I wouldnt recommend signing any papers at all.

he should be able to give you the apr rate before you agree to buy it, so i agree with everyone above, don't sign anything until you get all the numbers final. also, when i put my thousand dollars down to get my car from another dealer, they never actually took the payment, they asked for it when i picked up my car and payed for the whole thing. good luck.

Ask the dealer if the deposit is refundable under any circumstances. It should be but you should find out to make sure. Before I bought my car I needed to put down $500 even before the car arrived in order to reserve it, and I didn't think twice about putting the deposit down because I knew I could always walk out.

yes, deposit must be refundable and you better know your apr before you sign it.

your otd includes tax and licensing right? If i were you, i wouldn't deal otd price but only the car itself for now.

Yes, we have agreed on the out the door price including applicable Tax (6%), all legal and documentation, prep fees. Thanks for the input.

Get pre-approved.......

Lendingtree.
or eloans.com

I went in with a preapproval from eloans. that way they cant fuck with your apr. sometimes they will try to give you a shitty apr, so their lender can make money. But if you walk in there like i did with a 4.27 apr loan, then they might offer you a better APR, just to get your business finance wise..

I agree, dealers hate when your prepared and have a rate. I walk in tell them I will pay 1$ over invoice no destination fees and I have funding. Go from there.
