MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Got preapproval for $30,000 from local CU for an auto loan which has 90 day validity period. I figured the car is not going to cross $30,000 mark even with all the fees/charges, Tax so put in that amount and was approved for that amount

MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: F&I guy squeezed in loan contract paper among other papers to sign and I asked him what was that and he said I was under impression that I was financing with them. I told him if he can match or beat that price than I will go with your finance else I am good just give me my purchase order. The rate on that was 2.74% was same from TD Auto Loans. He was so shocked/embraced that I figured out his mistake at a blink of an eye (thanks for this forum to educate us for auto loan process) that he did not try any gimmick or tactic to add-on anything else. I was in and out o dealer ship within an hour. Ultimately he requested to finance with them and he was able to match my CU’s rates so I went with his finance since I already have relation with my CU and might get my wife’s car with my CU.
