Can anyone recommend a Metro-Atlanta dealer that will work with us?
We originally filed with a reaffirmed leased vehicle that terminated in March 2010 in the monthly amount of $365.
In UT, there are dealers who will slog together a proposal to put before the judge (with a vehicle, price +++, down, pmt and terms), but here in Atlanta, I'm running into dealers who want you to get permission BEFORE applying for the loan.
I get it. I get it. Having spent 20+ years in retail auto and finance, they don't want to potentially tie up a vehicle or to waste their lenders' time. They may also be afraid of litigation, ie: "but you promised me THIS CAR with THESE TERMS!!"
According to my atty, all the judge needs is a proposal. Then as long as my new loan doesn't exceed the payment and I don't put too much down, I'm OK. I think they also watch for out-right usery, too, as far as rates go.
I'm thinking that if I can find a reasonably reliable web-based loan and couple it with the buyer's order on a car I found, I may be able to get the judge's approval.
Tried CapOne but too recent of move and new job nixed them on us.
Anyone else?
