[QUOTE="stvdman, post: 15266939, member: 11572"] Here is one based off what I actually did, I always wondered if it "hurt" the dealer. Bought a new Explorer. Financed through "FORD" because there was a $1000 rebate linked to "ford financing". The interest rate was 2% higher than my CU..so, I did the deal, made 2 payments to FORD and then refinanced through my CU and got the lower rate while still getting the benefit of that $1000 rebate (CU was able to still do the loan as NEW CAR vice USED). Did the dealership lose anything in this scenario? It certainly was not my intention, just wanted the best deal for myself. On a side note, its extremely thoughtful and helpful for someone to discuss these types of things openly. We all know dealerships are in the business to make money, but a lot of times it feels like they have no problem whatsoever screwing customers over to make as much profit as possible. SOME, not all. I would hope its the minority vice the majority. My family has purchased no less than 10 brand new FORDS from the same dealer since 2002, I would hope that kind of return customer is a HUGE goal.
