Well I finally bought one, in black, only to get a phone call from the dealer today telling me "sorry man, the financing fell through, we have to raise your rate to get you refinanced for the car". This is actually a rather common scam from dealerships, a type of bait and switch on the purchase price for the car. Their strategy is that you will either fall in love with the car and just accept the price hike, or be too stupid to know it's a scam and just eat it.

But I said **** that ****, and took the fucker back. Ordinarily I would be subject to all sorts of fines for putting miles on it and so forth, but they made one huge fuckup. The mileage on the sales receipt is different from the miles on the inspection report, which I found in the glove box, which they forgot to remove. The inspection report states the vehicle had 200 miles on it. The sales receipt stated 19. This already pissed me off once I learned about it since it basically means my car was a ******* demo unit used for test rides. I'm sure every ******* that drove it around the block did so at 8000 rpm's, and anyone who knows anything about cars recognizes this as a big no-no.
Breath deeply...its OK a few redline runs when warmed up is not going to grenade an engine. Those 7 miles on brand new cars? How do you think they get accumulated? Lots of cold starts and moving the car a few hundred feet is how...its OK, they survive fine.

As for the financing, I don't think it was a scam: sounds simply like a royal fsck-up on their part. There is no way you should have left the dealership without first signing finance paperwork which lists the lender, the rate etc...meaning its an approved load.

I agree: very strange, but doesn't mean dealer financing sucks. I have done it several times as well and the rates were the same as many banks...credit unions are where the best rates often are (so I refi'd my load after the fact )

Learn and move on...its all good.
