I’ve had them put a “commit to buy” paper in front of me. Said I need to sign it before we discussed any further. No. I dont. If I wasn’t serious I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you. I HATE most car salesman and the mind game pushy BS they are trained on. I hope they take it in the shorts shortly now that inventory is catching up. The crap they try to pull on folks is nearly criminal.
Finance through your local credit union unless there’s extra incentives to finance through ford or whoever. If you DO finance through them you don’t need to wait a month to refinance. I had mine refinanced within the day. Took advantage of the extra $1500 incentive. Win win. You owe that dealer nothing because I can promise 99% of them will screw you hard if you let them.

I loathe car dealerships.
That “commit to buy” BS is just so they have something to come back at you with after they tack on $15k and you say you’re not buying the vehicle.

I told my wife to go somewhere else.

I ordered a truck from Johnson Sewell Ford in Marble Falls. They sold the truck at the ordered price, no upcharge. Gave me a rebate and a discount with 0% for 60 months.
My sales guy was Jim Joiner. Don’t know if these incentives are still good but I think I got a fair deal.Last edited by Mertzon Man; 08-11-2022, 02:41 PM.

Before you get to the dealership, you should know your credit score…and like mentioned above, having your credit union lined up and ready to go is a good idea. Other than the out the door price, I don’t care about anything the dealership has to say. Screw everything else…I’ve walked out of a lot of dealerships, I ain’t in love with a single vehicle. There’s always another one at the next lot and I sure ain’t signing anything until I’m sitting in the finance office. I both love auto shopping and abhor it at the same time…if I’m in no hurry to buy, it’s actually enjoyable. If I’m pressed for some reason, I hate it

If you can wait a bit, there could be better deals coming.
Do you know what the “normal” rate of repo was?
