The Bob Rohrman

My wife any I had a PNC Check Ready auto loan, we spoke with the sales person and secured, in writing, a few items. First of all, a full tank of gas (you should always get this). We also were offered lifetime car washes, a fix of the handle on the vehicle, and a look at the brakes.
So we get to the haggle portion of the evening. The most painful event of car buying (except at one dealer in my life). We could not get the price down much, despite it being a reasonable request. We wanted the car, any my wife loved it, so we decided to go with it anyway. So we present the check, and the manager comes over, looks at it, and then goes off to the finance guy. A few minutes later we’re entering our information into the computer… It felt very standard. Then it got to the portion where it was asking our income and social security numbers. At the top of the screen it read «Credit Application»
At no point did we wish to apply for credit, we already have secured a loan through our bank. We did not ask for it, and were not told we were applying for it. So we were both mad, and the manager (Max) came over and pretended he had no idea what (Keegan), our salesperson was talking about. So they brought over this guy who looked like a horse jockey (David Rubin), who apparently was their finance manager. They said that there was no problem with our check ready loan, and that they could give us the car tonight under their financing, and then we bring back a certified check.
My wife, who works for the bank, explained that the check is good at any licensed dealer in the United States. They seemed to think this was a lie, despite the check saying otherwise.
I explained how credit fraud was illegal, but they stood their ground on it. At the end of it all, we ended up buying the vehicle with the Check Ready loan and have had no problems.
The sales guy earlier told us about a 10 year/100,000 mile loan, he also told us the seats were leather, and as stated earlier, a full tank of gas. So once we got done dealing with that stroke of a finance guy (who will try making you sign unrelated forms), you can be told that the warranty is actually 5 year/60,000 miles, the seats are «YES! Essentials» vinyl, and when we go outside the tank is empty, and the plates aren’t even on the vehicle.
So he puts the plates on, and tells us that we can meet him in the lot, and we’d drive together across the street at the Shell station and he’d fill us up. We sat and waited for about 20 minutes after the dealership was closed. I ended up calling his cell, to which he claimed he was sitting at the gas station and then left. We ended up getting him to fill it, but the whole experience sucked very hard, and we’ll never buy anything from here again.
