That is a super nice blue color..
I was almost surprised you did not go with AOD and their Auto rates but you did explain the ease of using the other FI.
autopay awarded another .25%... what was the other .50% reduction?
Congratulations on your new to you ride!
Thanks my friends, I appreciate it!
I was trying to go with them. It was three weeks after I submitted an application before anyone contacted me. And surprisingly I was denied and approved. Now how does that happen? lol
The system showed pending for several weeks with the best rate offered. Then changed to denied. Then received a voicemail telling me I was approved.
I tried to call back multiple times and left a voicemail. I wasn't able to connect with the person that called me. Or anyone for that matter. lmao
At the time, I was still looking and hadn't nailed down a particular place to buy a Giulia. I looked at and talked to dealers in Seattle Washington, Portland Oregon, Southern California, Chicago , Georgia, South Carolina and Texas. For some reason in my area the dealers love the cars more than the buyers do.
So this forced me to look well outside of my area. And if I could save several thousand dollars. It was more than worth it for me to fly out, buy the vehicle and drive it home. The plane ticket using my trusty Delta Skymiles cost me less than $6. Two tank refills, lunch and a dinner stop got me back home.
And you are correct. It was another .50% using the USAA car buyer service(basically true car) on top of the .25% for autopay. Even though I had already made the deal on the car before I realized the wholesaler was a certified USAA auto dealer. Or before I had even decided to use USAA.
I had preapprovals from Penfed, Redstone and Capital One as well. Penfed would have been my 2nd choice. With only a day or two left before I was scheduled to fly out and pick it up. USAA was the easiest to deal with and the fastest. Absolutely no paperwork on my end as everything was done virtually.
No hunting down copies of titles from dealers or mailing or faxing in anything. Basically a 10 minutes at most, point and shoot ..I was done.
And didn't have to talk to a single soul. Love it!

Thank you for sharing this!
- The process turned out very nice for you. I am happy to have read this.
- Chicago , Georgia, South Carolina and Texas. For some reason in my area the dealers love the cars more than the buyers do.
- this is just hilarious 😂 - The interactions with AOD... (🤔) 🤐I do not want to be harsh here. Let's give them time to adjust to the influx of new members (and family member) joining after the introduction of the Visa Signature card 🤞
- Again, enjoy the new-to-you (recently, keys yanked from the hands of a dealer😩) ride !
Yeah, I'll give them break. Lol
Chances are I won't ever use them for a auto loan. Still love the 3% card though.😉
Thanks @Loquat !
Now if only I could figure out how to afford the Quadrifoglia. Along with the speeding tickets, that would eventually come with it! 😆😆
😂😂😂😂
Maybe it's time for me to invest in one of those radar detectors!🤔
Thanks again my friend!
