Ordering and down payment question...

trema

I can only speak for my personal experience. When I went in to the dealer, in order to place an order for a specific model, color, and trim, I had to sign a purchase order, along with $1000 initial down payment. You negotiate the price and agree to buy ('remainder due at delivery') BEFORE they place an order. The dealer will not buy a $40k car for their lot without a firm contract.

The financing agreement, however, is part of that 'remainder' part, and is decided when the car comes in. In fact, I couldn't negotiate the final financing now, even if I wanted to. The loan agreement is only good for 30 days, so I will have to reapply for financing when the car is almost here.

Thanks! that helps a lot! I found a dealer willing to sell for invoice, plus TTL here in CA, so ill take a few days and mull over it and solicit other deals.

Thanks again! this forum is awesome!

Please let me know if you get a good deal somewhere in Southern Cali. Your profile says you're from San Diego so I thought you had found a dealer somewhere near there. Boardwalk Nissan is just too far away from me.
