I don't know how many dealers do this but it happened to me and it can happen to anyone. For you guys who sell for a living, if you are not like that don't take personally. Unfortunately the law doesn't protect the consumer yet! I am sure that no one would disagree that it is a big hassle to shop for a car just because of the dealership practices!

Here is my perspective on the spot delivery: It serves 2 purposes 1. People have no time anymore so hurrying to get their vehicle cleaned and gassed is a scam how? 2. We want to get them financed and on their way before they change their mind, not because we ripped them off but they might think they have spent too much of THEIR MONEY, not that we CHARGED them too much! People tell us how, who and what the vehicle is for, then we find that vehicle and work against our bosses to fit it into their budget. They tell us what they will pay for it and if we can do that, then we ask for the business. I work my butt off 60-75hrs a week to make $35-55K a year. From my 10yrs in this business (short time by most salespersons career) I believe that there are only about 10-15% of the dealers that might or are unscrupulous and take advantage of their customers. Finally I know my spelling and punctuation are horrible but, writing is not my profession! The author of this article is so uninformed on many levels!!!

If you are traveling to buy a car that requires financing it would be a good idea to secure a loan from a local bank or credit union first.

I live in Idaho and am thinking of buying a vehicle in Utah because there are some better deals down there than there are up here. This informative article gave some advice as to "wait 2-3 days" to get my loan approved. However I would like to complete the transaction and get my vehicle the same day if not the next. What would your advice be in this situation? Also my wife and I are planing to apply for the loan together. We are looking at a cars for the price of $6000 with a $2000 down but my credit score is between bad and fair (560-600 range) and she has a better credit score between fair-good. And does it matter if she just applies for the loan or do we both have to? Because in theory her better credit score would get her a better ARP and better chance on getting a loan. Right? Also would it be better to apply for a loan at a local credit union/bank where we live and then go to Utah and get a car? Or go down and get a loan from the dealer? I just have many questions. Hopefully this makes sense. If you could give some feedback that would be appreciative. Thank you. Jim,
