Sansone Auto and their bank, Motors Financial: I wanted to and tried to purchase a 2005 Toyota Sienna from Sansone's AutoMall dealership. I was told that Motors Financial (their own persoanl bank) wanted me to put down $3500 at 18.9% interest rate on a used vehcile costing only $14,900, with 81,000 miles on it. I explained to Sansone Mazda that I may not have the money to put down and they said that they would work with me. I called Motors Financial to see if they would accept less of a down payment and they refused. What happened to "We Are The Bank"? Sansone can't control their own bank?
So, Sasnsone Mazda told me to write them 2 checks and that they would hold onto it. Well, I get a call today to tell me that they deposited one of the checks and that it bounced. I told the saleperson who sold me the van, that my husband will be returning the van tomorrow morning because we did not have the down payment. His response was "you just realized this now?". I am insulted by his comment ancd reaction, as I told them and made it very clear that I probably would not have that kind of money in a timely fashion.
Anyway, I got a better deal on a 2004 Honda Odyessy EX-L from Pine Belt Chevy in Lakewood, with only $1700 down, a shorter term, and less month payments. I think that is why Sansone is giving me such a hardway to go.
