If he held the job at the time of purchase they can't cancel it. I have a different job now than when I bought my vehicle they can't come after me and cancel my contract


ORIGINAL: pilot00

The problem is this... If he stated on an aplication that he had two jobs and the bank finds out he only has one because he is quitng his job in two weeks, The bank has the right to cancel the contract. Like every contract there is a cancelation clause (for both sides). You can be pre approved and then denied if the bank/company finds out you misrepresented info on the app.

By the way Never tap into equity in your home to by a car. 1. get behind on payments andyou could loseyour house and you car (depending on which method you use) and 2. When the value of your house goes down with this declining real estate market you could own more on your house than what it is worth. Home equity loans range about 6-9% for rates vs. 0-5% rates for dealer loans.

Trust me its killing me too! The finance guy called me today and said he tried to get Capital One to finance me but they wouldn't do it. Apparently they were mad because when they called my 2nd job they found out I didnt work there. I then asked him why Chrysler financial didn't finance me and he said because they want a 15% intrest rate on my loan! So, I asked him if I could use my uncle as a co-signer if it would help and he said he would give it a try, so today I faxed him my uncle's info and tomorrow he is going to try the banks again. I told him I need an answer by tomorrow. He's trying his hardest to get me approved and at a lower rate. It's not good to him if I return the truck with 700 miles on it. I will keep you guys posted and thanks again for all the support.

I do not think they would sell it as used... they would sell it again as new and say it was a demo. The truck has only a temp registration . Most demos have 2000-5000 when they sell them. If you misrepresent any info on an app/or contract it is considered not in good faith...contract voided/canceled. The salesman wants to close the deal as fast as posible so he gets his commision. I hope the co signer works for you. In that case accept an interest rate no higher than the current chrysler rate, you should qualify for these rates with a co signer
0% for 36mo
2.9 for 48
3.9 for 60
5.9 for 72mo

What world of personal finance do you live in? Should you get behind on your mortgage and/or HELOC payments they CANNOT take your car. That is why your house is collateral. And if you can't be sure that you can definitely make at least the interest payment you have no business buying the car. I'll take the extra 1-2% and use it as a tax deduction rather than just give it to the finance company because I'm a nice guy.

Here are my 2 ignorant cents.
You get equity to buy a car, if you expand it to 10 to 15 to 30 years, how much did you really buy the car for? Unless you have your house paid off, then I can see buying a car with equity, but still when you do the numbers how much did the car cost you? Its not the same as buying it cash.

To you Espositoman, you knew you were going to walk away from the second job, yet you put it in the application form. What did you think, that they were not going to call? Dont get me wrong, you like the truck and probably can afford it on one job and I hope you have budgeted gas, but you also have to understand that banks now are going through a lot ****e. They have to look after themselves and not loose any more money. So, if they cant approve you, its probably because they feel you can afford it. With your credit score low and one income, they see you as a risk and of course they have to raise interest rates.

By the way, hitting your credit history for the same thing (as for car purchase) will not affect your credit. If you apply for a car, then 2 to 3 credit cards, then a house, then to move to an apartment, that will affect your credit score.

Bottom line is, dont be afraid to walk away. There will be other trucks for you. Also, like it was said here, you are young, get a car for transportation and finish school. Save your money, because in 2 years you will be able to buy your own place dirt cheap.

Who the hell would make payments on it for 10 or more years? 3 years would be tops.

Trust me. I know people that refinanced to 30 years and used the equity to buy a car. So that car purchase was stretched over 30 years. Yes the interest is tax deductible, but man 30 years.

Well then those people weren't very smart.

I've tapped into my home equity b/c I can get a loan for 6.24% right now and it's tax deductible. I have virtually no risk of falling behind and even though it's a 15 yr. loan, it will be paid off in 1 year. That's not much more than a car loan and if I was buying another vehicle I'd rather take the big rebates instead of the low interest.
