TRYING To Buy A New Daycare Van

[momofboys]

Maybe you had a hard time getting approved b/c of the high amount? Not sure. . . we have typically not bought NEW. . . just used or slightly used & we also have high credit scores but then in most cases we have paid in cash but the one time we needed to be approved it was only for an 11K loan so not quite the same amount, ! Glad you got approved & hope the van is a good buy for you & the daycare!

Maybe it was because of the amount but I don't think $18,000 is that much (after my down payment). And yes it's a 2011 but it's not exactly brand new. It's a lease return but in excellent condition. I wanted something under warranty just in case (my DH is a stickler for these things).

I'm so tired this morning. We left yesterday at 5:45pm (as soon as my last DC kid got picked up) and we got there at 8:00pm. I test drove the van and it ran like a champ. Let me tell you, it has some pep. Why you would need a mini-van to have that much horsepower and torque I will never know . We signed everything left there at 9:00pm and got home last night at 11:00pm. PHEW. At 5:30am when our alarm went off my DH grumbled something and I said "Me too" and we both dragged ourselves out of bed. Today is going to be a long one ... thank goodness it's Wednesday.

Ugh that happened to you? That really stinks. I would grab another salesperson, go through the motions and then request that the first salesperson come ove an watch as I handed the cash to the second associate. That's so lame.

Well so far so good (sort of). Turns out we have to drive down to the dealership to fill out the paperwork (DMV) because the credit union won't cut them the check until this is done. This means that I get to ride two hours to get down there, sign the papers before the dealership closes, turn around and come back, take the paperwork to the credit union tomorrow to sign more papers and finalize them, wait a few days and then drive back down to the dealership to pick up my van . We are definety asking if they'll deliver.

I left the dealership and went to another one and bought the van of my dreams.
