Complaint Review: Clear Lake Mazda And Honda Dealers

i recieved at call on 8-29-09 at9:05am from Sheree stating they have found and automobile that will be finaced at clear lake mazda.  i explained to this person on the phone that my credit was shot and eeryone wanted 3-4 thousand down.  She assured me there would be no down payment required and i was already approved.  This seemed to good to be true.........and it was.  I get to the dealer ship at my apointed time of 11:45am.  The gentleman comes up right away said he had been given my paperwork and they just needed to verify my info ( he was wearing a red shift).  Again i explained that i was informed of being financed for an auto.  The sales man said yes that is true and we just have to agree on a payment monthly.  Asked me to fill out a ford credit application.   Said they were not submitting it to for but that was the cleanest copy they had.  A few min later a salesman in white shirt said that they were going to submit my app to several banks.  Again i informed the salesman of my credit history and problems that i was assured that i was already approved.  he informed me that the prosess is not that simple.  after about 30 min the gentle man came back to me and said that i was right i was going to have to have a co-signer or put down about 3-4 thousand .  I informed him of the scam i thought this was.  i was already approved.  he informed me that is what they use to get people in...........
