Salty about financing?
Written by Ken on 12/19/2024

Contacted them to start process of buying a vehicle out of state (I’m in Michigan) and was asked to place a deposit but I want going to unless I was sure that we would be making a deal and all of my concerns were addressed. Negotiated price and handling of funds for 3 days and was sure everything was fine so I placed deposit on said vehicle. 2 days later I was told I HAD to finance with them if I wanted it because “they dont make any kick-back” from me using my own personal bank to finance the vehicle. I expressed to them from day one I would be using my own bank to finance and would be able to send them a check for a down payment (15-20k) and was told this was fine. Wasted my time and missed out on working with other dealers who were fine with me using my own bank.
