I actually, I should take a closer look at those Mazdas! Thanks Kree!

After going back and forth for a couple days, I finally had the Honda dealership do it properly, but I ended up getting a brand new Civic after driving it around for the very first time and seeing that it has every feature I wanted (minus AWD) for $6K less, I thought it was suitable for my driving habits since I only liked the CR-V but I didn't actually need an SUV. Nonetheless, if it wasn't for the dealership people and how they took care of me, I would have never set eyes on Hondas ever again after being treated that bad by Honda Financial's support rep.

To be honest you should never do your app yourself. The dealers are there for a reason. I worked as a sales person and many people that would not get approved by a bank did because of the structure of the request for the loan which unless you have worked in the industry and have had a lot of experience shouldn't attempt.

At the dealer they actually gave me a paper copy of the application and asked me to fill it or do it online, being a tech guy, I though I'd do it on the website, but my mistake was, instead of going to the dealer's website, I submited it on Honda's website where the error happened and no further information was provided, the dealer on the other hand, was able to point out issues and make suggestions, I do hate automated applications but I didn't know they were handled differently since the dealer said that Honda handles the whole thing and nothing about them helping me, that was until I made my second trip, all I can say is lesson learned, I'd rather deal with the individuals than Honda's (Or anybody's for that matter) flawed systems!

Thank you Sasha! I'm actually more familiar with the process now and learned my lesson since this is my first time leasing/Financing a vehicle considering that I just paid cash for my first vehicle a couple years ago.
