I wish there were a database of car purchases for the year that would include the final out the door cost of everyone's car purchased. Then we might be able to go into a dealership, ask for a fair price, and leave if our informed expectation isn't met. Dealerships won't change their business models until it is no longer profitable. As consumers we can probably make that happen, we just have to be organized and refuse to take bad deals.

Once back in the late 80’s I got the finance manager so pissed off with my relentless questions and refusal to accept their terms that I knew were blatant over charges to beef up their end that he shamed me by yelling on the show room floor what a pain in the ass I was, threw my car keys at me and told me to get the fuck out. This was at a Ford dealership in Tempe, Arizona. I complained about his behavior the next day to the General Manager and quess what? The General Manager marched over to the finance manager and confronted him with me standing next to him and the bastard could not deny it. The General Manager shamed him by telling him to box up his things and leave immediately right in front of me. I later got the van I wanted that day for the price that was at their cost. It pays to hold your ground and complain to the correct person.

How can a dealership up the interest rate over what the bank says? And how do they get the extra rate?

I bought my last new car a couple years ago from a mom & pop dealership with, I am guessing, fewer than 20 employees. There was no sales manager that I could see and no F&I ( no high volume sales, but very low overhead). The salesman gave me 3 options with 3 prices- pay cash, finance at .9%, or finance at 3.5%. The size of the monthlies were never discussed, just the OTD price.The 3.5% for 60 was the best OTD price, of course, about 14% below MSRP. The vehicle had no added options and was already the cheapest of that model on the lot by far (including about 15 other dealerships in my half of the state). The deal saved me about $1800 over paying cash. I don't recall the salesman mentioning a 90 day wait to pay off the loan. I think I probably heard it later on you tube. I really can't be sure. I paid the loan off in 60 days. Had I known for certain that the bank required 90 days, and I do not, I would have waited another month. It would have only cost me a few dollars in interest and possibly meant a difference in the salesman's paycheck. If they work with me I like to work with them.

You guys, I have to thank you for letting us share in the pleasure you seem to be having working together, and for sharing such valuable information and insight on such an entertaining way.

Just bought a new car on Monday. Price was negotiated on out-the-door price. When I got to the finance officer every add on was marked as 'no'. Of course I would have accepted anything they wanted to add at no change of price to me. I also knew the finance amount and interest rate so I also knew the monthly payment and length of loan. It was pleasant for both sides since there was nothing to get tense about with everything settled at the out-the-door price accepted.

Here is what I learned: I can screw over a dealership that I don't like by immediately paying off the loan.

He said, "well, I have a bit of flexibility on those numbers," and I told him "I'm frankly not interested in any of it." He brought in a closer to twist my arm a bit further (but not too severely) and I said "I'm just not interested in any of these at any price. " He finally folded up his electronic menu, had me sign the papers, and I got the sale closed for exactly our negotiated price, which included the factory rebate plus a nice dealer discount off MSRP. I was happy. More importantly, my *wife* was happy.

I work in the car business; I've been in it for over 35 years and in fact I train F&I Managers. I can tell you that there are banks who put prepayment penalties (Usually $100 or so) right into their finance agreements, if a loan is paid off too soon, say 90 days. What a Finance Manager should not say is that you CAN'T pay it off early. You can. But if you pay off a loan too early, there may well be a penalty. It's there because lenders aren't really interested in financing cars for 30 or 60 days.

I told the owner what I was looking to buy and all the things I wanted. He never tried to "up sale" me. He wrote down on a piece of paper, which I could take with me when I left, the breakdown of all the costs and the "drive out the door" price(no other dealership would ever do that because they were afraid I'd take it to other dealerships). Without even asking, he wrote down the dealer discount I was getting as well as all the other rebates. There was no "F & I" to content with. Everything was straight forward and no haggling was necessary. His price was always better than the other dealerships in my area with whom I had to haggle price. Because of his honesty and transparent way of dealing with people, I remained a loyal customer until he retired and closed down the dealership in 2019. Sadly, that type of dealership no longer exists.

@Oxios

3 жыл бұрын

The charge backs don't affect you but dealerships do try to stop you. I'll give a short rundown. So when a dealership writes a loan, they and the lending agency are both making money off you. They chage interest to do this. Those two agencies are expecting you to make as many payments as possible so that they can get as much finance profit as possible. Car loans nowadays simple interest pretty much, unlike the old days when they were all precomputed interest that you had to pay upfront. So the lending agency and the dealership need you to keep making that payment to get the most money. If you pay off or refinance immediately, all they did was loan you let's say $40k to make a hundred bucks on that $40k. Not a good investment or use of loan funds. The charge back is the lienholder charging the dealership a precompted interest penalty for you paying the vehicle off too soon. Sometimes in the case of rebates or programs that require you to finance with the manufacturer, the dealership also gets charged back against those items, because the manufacturer is not your friend and gave you that money intending you to pay it back with interest through financing and you're not doing that so the manufacturer takes that money back from the store.

When I went to finance he pushed and pushed but I just declined everything extra in the packages. They were all very over priced and I didn't need them. For example they wanted $760 for a Service plan that included just oil changes and tire rotations for six years. Problem is Hyundai already covers three years for those services. So he was trying to scam me to pay $253 a year for services which would cost me about $120 at current rates pay as I go. I left that dealer with my nice low original payment.

In rare cases the dealership and lienholder may be trying to protect themselves because the customer could only get approved on a beater and they let other cars go to late payments or repo because of needed repairs. The warranty would protect the likelihood of still making the payment because any needed repairs would potentially be covered later. If it's EFG or JMA warranty it'll actually cover things, for instance. But if the lienholder doesn't approve a warranty being added to the financing there's no reason for finance to sell it. The loan won't get paid out by the lienholder.

Love this insight into the financial aspects of paying off the loan early! I am looking at buying a slightly used vehicle in a couple months

A car buyer should never trust anyone at the dealership for anything. The F&I manage is the worst, period. The only question a car buyer should always ask the F&I manage is "what is the buy rate?" If the F&I manager refuses, the car buyer can be certain the F&I manage has bumped the interest rate. If the F&I manager refuses, just walk away. A couple of years ago, at a Honda dealer buying for my daughter, the F&I manager refused to disclose the buy rate. He had offered a rate of 4.3 percent. I asked for the buy rate, he said "4.3 percent is the rate the dealer is offering and suggested I could refinance." I said no, nope, nada and stood up to walk away. He immediately mumbled a bit and asked me to wait a few moments. He disappeared and returned a few minutes later and redid the deal at 2.3 percent (which was the correct rate for my daughter's credit score and profile).

The finance dude is there to recoup any discounts sales gave you. When presented with warranty options, say no several times.

Doesn’t matter if you are or not, it’s just a way of them discounting prices without looking like they are and your getting a deal.

I actually used the,”I’ll wait three months to pay out loan for the lower price. “ so I get a lower price and the dealer made his $$ on the loan”. Having said that next time I WILL be asking to see my approval from the lender. Thank you !!

What if you ask to see the bank approval and all they do is show you the marked up dealer approval paper that they marked up ?Can you call the bank that approved you at that moment and find out what the approval rate is ?

I just bring a check from the bank and forget all those shennigans.

So where total loan amount paid after the paper work, and the full amt pd (principal + accumulated interest and any fees) - dealer charge back based on what amount ?

Thanks! Definitely empowering!

Should you ask to see your approval if you are leasing the vehicle? If so, will they show it as an APR or MF? Thanks

Another great video training session. Excellent info. What is the advantage of pretending to Finance, if you intend to pay off the loan within 2 weeks. ☮️ Phil R

So could it be a bargaining chip to tell them that I could be paying in full if you don't want the charge back fee?

I had no idea the dealer might be jacking up the loan interest rate on a car loan. Very useful information. By the way, I've always checked with my bank before going to the dealership to buy a car. I know what the bank will charge and how much they will lend. I tell the finance manager that if he or she can beat my bank's loan terms, I'll go with the the dealership's arranged loan. They usually beat my bank.

Doing the same thing. USAA offered me loan at 1.89%.

I had one tell me I could only buy gap thru him at dealer & was almost $1000.. my bank was within parking lot distance & had just ask & it was around $300 .. bought my gap that evening at bank.. finance guy got hateful so I told salesman get me another manager or lose his deal.. they guy was fired the nxt wk.. same type bull

You also definitely, really, really, want to know is what type of loan is it. Is it simple interest (unlikely but possible, better for customer) or rule of 78s (better for the lender, and, of course the dealer). You guys should really discuss this. Rule of 78s is front end loaded on the interest so if you pay off early you don't save nearly as much and their hand is deeper into your pocket.

But then precomputed interest would be as such that they don't have to care if you pay off the car early. The dealership already got their cut. Any customer of mine got a simple interest loan. The market is switching over. Maybe it's my area and the way the lenders operate here, IDK.

Very interesting!

I just need to take one of you with me car shopping.

So if you ask the finance manager for the base rate do they have to tell you and can you negotiate it to be at the base rate if it's bumped up?

Kimberly, what's the #1 vehicle you have sold in your old dealership? Thanks!

Dont walk into a dealership without first doing ur homework. Know ur credit scores. Go to a credit union to check interest rates. When the salesperson asks what you want ur monthly payment to be, say “ZERO!’ I want the out the door price and interest rate, then I’ll see if the payment works for me. Not there to negotiate monthly payments, just the price of the car.

I hate car loans because there are so many moving parts. Do not negotiate on the length of the car loan. Dealers will agree to a lower monthly price, but then extend the car loan out much, much farther. In the end, you pay a far greater amount overall even though it looks like you got a bargain with a smaller monthly payment. I am lucky because now I can pay cash. But I had to save every penny and dime to get there.

Can you still write a personal check for a down payment these days?

When I bought my last car, I got $500.00 off the cost of the car if I financed it. I was also told the big lie and had to make at least 3 payments, or I would be charged a penalty. When I got my "payment book" I paid in the first payment the total loan except for $2.00. For the next two payments I paid $1.00 plus 4 cents in interest. I was never charged a penalty.

another question to ask is "how many banks approved me and why you selected the one you picked out"?

Exception to the lie - I bought from a Nissan dealer. Two weeks later I got a letter from them with the loan number. I went to the web site and got the payoff value. I paid off the remaining $13,000 of the loan and paid $23.xx in interest. I'm now broke, but not paying rent on someone else's money!

What if I get a written out the door price and ask for a bill. I then pay it off with a high limit credit card at the cashier window. ! Should the Dealer pay a fee to the bank for this cc payment??

I was told by the finance person that he had a few potential buyers that were wanting to buy the truck so I just told him to go right ahead and selling then if you can't wait one more day, then my bank emails me the next day and I ignored it, should I ignore my bank if it's too late? I'm not in a rush

seems common sense to me. I always ask the price and not payment. top tip: tell them to build your package as per YOUR requirements and say you'll take the finance IF its at a good rate as you'll be shopping around. these days most credit cards do 0% on both transfers and purchases for 2 to 3 years. why would you even need dealer finance unless its a killer rate and you have negotiated the product price down to marginal. use the finance to negotiate the price down as much as possible and take it out. then clear with 0%credit cards
