Do they have like auto deposit from checking or have like a account online so I can see how much I own and make payments online? Like a paperless mailing/payments..

I normally shred papers if I get paper mail.. I do all my payments online or go to the place if I'm near by..

They should. Depends on the bank that gives you the loan but I'd imagine almost all of them have something like that by now.

I was financed through Toyota, and they have a nice online payment system that shows you your accrued interest, upcoming payment, total remaining, etc. They originally send the bills in the mail, but I opted for paperless billing.

Looks like the dealer has installed low jack and tinted the windows and said it will add another couple thounsand .. Some more has came out the truck and will see what that ones has or colors etc..

Is this right that dealers are putting this on now?? To add it up more ? Was planing on tint anyways..

Also they don't allow test drive at that dealer.. He said it has PDI so people that want to buy it can only drive it he said that car msrp 26,482 and will total around under 29k/28k

At the other dealer they offer test drive but don't have the whiteout in stock..plus they never mention about installing tints or low jack on there cars..

What's best to do? Go to other dealer that offers test drives to see if I really like the car first..

Thanks

I ordered a BRZ but never test drove. I never test drove an FRS or BRZ cause it's just so hard to find a BRZ sitting there for a test drive.

I bought one without test driving also. Crazy really but I read enough good things and I wasn't disappointed.

this is the first car i've bought myself from an actual dealer (don't include the used cars when in japan), and i brought my father with me to help. i'm 29, but it's never too early, or too late to get help from your parents. especially when they have extensive experience/knowledge about what you're trying to do

[marky]

I see.. They did say I might be able to go for a little test drive..

As for my trade in for my car I know I might not get much compare to selling it private ..but if I do decide to pull the trigger on the white unicorn and trade in my car too will I have to hand my car to them that same day? I have a system in my car that I would like to take or if possible adds to the value if trade in?

I will be 29 in Feb 7 so this is like a birthday present from me to me and new years/Christmas gift ...I think I deserve to treat myself to a new nice car.. Been driving this for the past 5+ years now

Fun to drive and learned how to maintain it and fix it this car taught me a lot from driving safe to pushing at its limits on the hills when no one is around

[wrxgoose]

yeah, i picked up the mini when i got out of the service. as much fun as it's been, i think it's time to go back to RWD. used ot have a miata, and that was tons of fun

I think $480/mo payment is extremely high, but that's just me...

They don't care what system or mods you have done to your car, if anything it only makes them want it less. If you do trade in your car, it is theirs right then so get your stuff out before you trade.

As far as the lojack and tint, it depends what they are charging. I saw a dealer charging around 1K for a tint, but if they are charging close to what it would cost at a tint shop, then why not. 29K otd is still not factoring in interest you pay when you finance so you may actually be looking at closer to 30-31K.

At the dealer making a deal.. Man I can believe this Is happening.. I'll be in a better place. Just in car shock I didn't even plan this today lol..just have to sign the finance papers etc. And see..drove the car very nice

Just wow.. In shock

yes! get what you want! don't be pressured to spend extra on stuff you don't want! remember! as "henry ford once said,"any color you want as long as it's black!" point is,they are not gonna stop makin' the car,so eventually you can get the car exactly the way you want it! just sayin'

Also try Car Max. Dealers will normally match there trade-in. If not you have a better offer and can use that as part of your down payment. Also don't be afraid to walk if the numbers don't make sense or its to much for you. Wait 6 months to a year and try again. Lastly if you can, try getting an auto loan through a credit union(if your credit score is good)
