Dear Wanda, A trade in is not sold until the deal is completed. However, I have seen cases where there were stipulations from a lending company that could effect the transaction. For example a customer could put on a credit application that they made 30,000 income per year. The finance company would ask for proof of income ie tax return or year to date pay stub, We would put the customer in the vehicle. If the customer could not produce the documents we would have no choice but to ask the customer to return the vehicle. It is our hope that all customers are happy and we want everyone to be approved. Please understand that the complaint Brandi filed is very rare and as to her statement that a trade had been sold I would need more information so I could research what had happened. However we do not sale trades until we are sure the deal is complete.

Tim its nice to see some companies have been in business 90 years. But Brandi has a valid point. Why would the salesman give them the keys and give them congrats on a new truck when they couldn't get proper financing? Do you know how embarassing that would be? Any way what happens to a trade-in when that happens is it sold and can you sell it by law?

Bale Chevrolet has been in business for over 90 years. It is still a family owned and operated business. Any customer with a complaint can talk to the owner any day of the week. We would ask Brandi to come to the dealership to discuss her problem with one of the Bale Family Members.' Brandi needs to look at her papers. She will notice that Bale Chevrolet does not loan money, we sell cars. If she could not get a loan for a car, she would have recieved a letter from the lender explaining why she was denied credit. In the paper work it is explained that any car deal is not complete until credit is accepted or money has been recieved by Bale Chevrolet. We are sorry that Brandi feels the way she does about Bale Chevrolet, However if she could have gotten financing at another bank or credit union we would have honored our price. Respectfully
