What you described is called the "Spot Delivery Scam" and it is common for the car finance person to try to pull this on unsuspecting customers. Search for it online and you will see that is what the dealership pulled on your parents. It is a shameful way to conduct business. Look up all the common scams so they don't fall into another trap by another dealership. Hopefully you can guide them when purchasing their next vehicle.
The best way to avoid any scam in dealership is to have your parents get their financing at a local credit union first, before they go to a dealership. They then can go to a dealership with their financing in place before they purchase and not subject themselves to the games/scams of the F&I Department. I hope everyone reads your report and avoid's that dealership like the plague. Thanks for posting.
