I think it's crazy that this seems to becoming a regular practice. I think dealerships are getting desperate for business.

Unfortunately, I have heard of this happening A LOT! I live in Central California, near Fresno, and I've have known at least two people (who also had credit problems) who were told after hours of negotiating and signing all the financing papers etc, to go ahead and take the car home- it was theirs. So, they both took their cars and got all the windows tinted, one put more expensive rims on the car, etc. Well, a few days later, the dealership called and said to bring the cars back because they couldn't get the financing to go thru either! They told the dealership to pound sand and to MAKE IT WORK and they did - they ended up lowering the price of the car so the amount financed was less. But I keep hearing from other people that the dealers are telling them to take the car home the same day before all financing is completed! I guess they figure the customer will do whatever it takes to keep the car they now have in their possession that they will beg, borrow or steal for it! I wish you luck with whatever you decide!

They let you drive the vehicle home without even finding someone to finance you. I had this happen years ago when they called and wanted me to have a co-signer. I ended up bringing it back to them. My SUV I financed last year, I made sure there was someone to finance me before I drove it home. I think dealerships are pretty famous for doing this.

Then go somewhere else. Don't settle for something less just because they screwed up already have your money and wasted your time. I would only return it for a full refund of your deposit !!!

Me personally I would want to keep it, BUT if i did return it I would be screaming to the top of my lungs how crooked they are. We had gone through all this back in March are car went south and we needed something bad. Everyone new of our credit and they kept saying yea yea we will help. Wasted trips into the dealership for them to say naw sorry we cant help. Finally we found ONE place who would work with us and our bank to get us into a car. Bluebook we more then 12k the dealer went down to 7k because thats what the bank would finance us for. Over all we are still paying the 12k due to taxes, interest but it is worth having our ride back. Just remember if you to return it there will be someone else out there that will take your money. And thats what I told everyone of those dealers that turned us down. "I am not going to beg you all to take my money. I am sure someone out there will take it without being begs" And I walked away sure enough the bank and another dealership wanted it. It will all work out for the best. Good Luck Sounds about right coming from the dealers. Me personally I would want to keep it, BUT if i did return it I would be screaming to the top of my lungs how crooked they are.

We've never bought a car without the financing being settled before taking the vehicle home. When we bought the minivan we sat in the office for 5 hours getting the financing settled. Weirdness.

I say if you do take it back, walk out and go to another dealership place. Tell them they just lost your business and you don't want to deal with them again. Dealers are tricky people. My Dad was just telling me about a bait and switch thing they did with him and he walked out on them. They kept trying to convince him that what they were offering him was a good deal and "other" people would be thrilled to get this deal. He basically said, "Yeah, but other people are stupid, and I'm not. Either you give me the deal you promised or I leave." He ended up leaving, and they were not happy with him, but oh well. That really sucks.

It's the underwriter, not the dealership's finance department. Because of the cluster **** our economy is in, the underwriters are being VERY, VERY picky about who they're giving loans to. The dealership may have believed that you could qualify, but once the underwriter got a hold of the paperwork, they may have decided it wasn't possible. I'm so very sorry Rhea.
