The Eastern Motors radio commercial states that your job is your credit. It also states on the hold commercial (when you call the store and are put on hold) that approval is guaranteed. We asked the sales person under what circumstances one would not be approved for the automobile, in which he stated that one lied on my application then one would not be approved for the car.
While on the lot waiting for information regarding the car loan, I heard the commercial again on the radio of the car parked outside, which basically reinforced what the salesperson told me.
Finally after trading my car and being promised $2000 for it, cash, and a promissory note for more money at the end of the week, I was told that I was approved for a vehicle. While driving back home, the engine light came on. Called Eastern and talked to the sales manager and explained the problem.
We were asked to bring the car back to Fredericksburg the next day for a loaner while they looked at the car I had purchased. When I called Eastern, after being put on hold for 20 minutes, I was told that there is a problem and I had to return the car.
After wasting 2 days and gas I realized that the Eastern Motors Commercial is a ploy to get people on the lot, Financing is not guaranteed as they state. Funny after I found a problem with the car they said that I could not get it, but after reading the other postings my experience sounds like everyone elses.
