I wasn't familiar with the scam at that time, but I could tell that when I said I didn't like the interest rate they would just come back with a lower rate but the money taken back on another part of the deal.
I was about to start looking for a car soon, not looking forward to it. I got some financing online this time just to avoid playing the payment/term/interest rate shell game. I think it will be helpful to have another offer sheet with me to beat up on their offer with.

In today’s world, you can get it down to the dime if you know what you are doing. My brother just bought a new Super Duty on-line from a dealer. You don't even have to set foot into a dealership to get your best deal. Figure out what you want, make them shoot you their best deal via email. Make sure they know that you will be checking several dealers as well. It keeps them honest on price. Sooner or latter you will get a hungry dealer that is wanting to blow out a piece of inventory and you will get the good guy deal.
