Ken: I wouldn't say in the crapper, but my income is self-employed and they were okay with that since I had my tax records to show for it. That was the issue as of Saturday, but as of Monday I wouldn't know. Now Tuesday, when I called, they said it was cause my wife's employment is through a temp. agency and they don't value that as a credited employer. Yet she has been at the same place for 3 months and was just hired on by the place she was at. The dealership wouldn't even call my wife's HR Manager to verify. The dealership said it was a waste of their time.
As for JD Byrider... the one local to use has already tried their scam with down payments. They were going to differ the down payment since we were sent by a recent customer of theirs. Then when it came to the financing, the story changed and the final price was added of a $1,200 down payment. BUT they wanted $600 by the end of the week and another $600 a week later, then 2 weeks later vehicle payments of $602 every 2 weeks. I said heck no and left. The sales person there, Richard, said I am a loser and will always remain one. Then yelled in the parking lot that I my business is worthless and wouldn't hire me to water his lawn. I told him he lives in an apartment so why would anyone need to water his lawn? He didn't know what to say.
Just seems people take other people for stupid idiots. We play their game, but know better and when to call it quits. They just want that sale and make that $50 commission. Not from this person they won't. Well, not this time.

You said the salesman left for an hour one time and 2 hours the next time?
I would have been out the door long before an hour was up. I MIGHT give them 10 minutes.
As soon as they start playing stupid dealer games just leave.
The first thing you need to do is get your financing in place before you ever darken their door. Then they can't screw around with you so much.

my bet would be that your credit history is totally in the crapper...how'd I do?
I think they, and/or the lender, decided to bail on the funds. NOBODY is REQUIRED to loan you money.
Guess you're stuck with J.D. Byrider or some other deadbeat car lot.
