I went to order the 2012, the sales guy said that the credit check was required to exact quote "its a new law to check you are not a terrorist, check for red flags and its only a soft check to transunion only and its mandatory to order the Z."
The problem is that I would not have mind IF the Z I wanted was parked right outside and I can drive it outside of the lot. That way I can shop around for financing within 14 days. But this car is 2-3 months out on the ordering and delivering.
Has anyone ordered the Z and not subjected to credit check requirements? I have 2 credit monitoring and my score (equifax and transunion) just took a hit (hard inquiry) and it dropped 35 pts.
What are my options now if I'm financing? I might have to shop around for loan now instead of the original plan of waiting til 2 weeks before delivery to increase my score. Is it too late to cancel this order (they will order it in first week of Jan)? Already pissed at this sales guy.
