Was told by the dealership's finance guy that my 814 credit score didn't meet the standards for their 0% loan, but they'd finance me at 8.9%.  Income at $100k, no mortgage, 20% down.  I laughed and walked out.  I was the only customer there.

Who needs sales when you get a taxpayer bailout.

Well if that’s all true then there is no way you wouldn’t qualify for the 0%.

Not sure what that says about you being in a Chrysler dealership in the first place...

THE DEALS.

Aren't some dealerships offering like 0% interest for 87 months?

Lmao seriously?  That can't be right.

A few weeks back, I financed a 2020 TRD Pro 4runner with a 770 score, 20k down and ended up at 3.49% for 60 months.  I thought that was maybe a little high, but nothing I was going to bitch about.

9% or whatever is laughable in the extreme, especially with your numbers.

A year ago, a dude I know in the low 600's got 0.9% with 0 down.  Chrysler is up in the night.

Dealership must get a better kick back to finance you at 8.9% than the other incentives.

Could always beat them down on price, then immediately refi through your credit union at a much lower rate.  It'll probably screw them when you pay off the loan a week later.

OP I had a similar thing happen to me at the Ford dealer on Saturday. My income isn't as awesome as yours and my fico score is 785 and they told me no way I'd get the 0% apr but they'd be happy to give me something in the 6% range. I lol'd in his face and walked out and noticed I was the only customer there.

As a multiple-purchase Chrysler buyer, let me remind you that they almost always charge for the 0% interest.  What I mean by that is that the vehicle price is $1000 more with 0% interest or $1000 less (let's call it the "nice-guy-rebate") with standard interest rate.  It's usually a "buy-down" like mortgage points.  They won't tell you this up front.  The finance guy explains that to you two hours into the process.  


$30,000 with 0% interest
$30,000-$1,000 with x% interest

This..... I was playing on replacing our second vehicle this year, and this black swan even may speed up the timeline. I would rather take the huge discounts and get financing through my credit union.  

Pro tip: get financing and realistic car values before you step foot on a dealers lot. Not sure if you just browsing or not. There are several great threads in GD with fantastic advice.

OP get your credit score here for free

The credit report was ran on Friday.  The deal was 0% at 84 months.  We were $1000 apart on the price and I walked.  They called me Saturday and said, OK, we'll do your deal, come on in."  I went in today and they pulled this shit.

Chrysler Dodge Buick Olds Pontiac all the same shit company. Anyone care to know why the business model has been in trouble for so long. Over priced junk on wheels, suffers negative depreciation while sitting on the lot.
