On August 5, 2006, my husdband and I went to Peoria Kia to trade in our vehicle for a 2006 Kia Sedona. We filled out the loan application and were told that we could get into the Sedona, but the monthly payments would be more than what were wanted to pay. We explained to the sales rep that we just purchased a new home and couldn't afford the high monthly payment. He went and told his boss Michael Crawford.
After talking personally with Michael Crawford and explaining our situation to him, he suggested that we refinance our house to make the payments more doable. Knowing that there was no way to refinance our new home, we told him that wasn't an option. At that point he told us to take the Sedona home with us and see how we liked it. He said that if we still thought we couldn't afford the monthly payments that we could bring it back without any problems.
On August 21 we returned with the Sedona due to the high monthly payment. At that time we were out of a vehicle and were told that they "would see what they could get us into". At that point, we were told all that we could get into was a 2006 Kia Spectra. We weren't happy at all due to the fact that we already had one child and were expecting another. The car wasn't at all what we wanted, but we did want to lower our monthly payments.
When we went to sign the paperwork, they had overcharged us for the Spectra stating that the List Price was $27171.16 when actually the sticker price was only $17771. They made us pay over $9000 for us taking the Sedona off of their lot for less than 20 days.

First off learn how to buy a car BEFORE you go into a dealership or to a private owner(who by the way is usually cheaper).
Find out what you can AFFORD before you walk in.
Since you had just bought a home you need to stay within your means. If you also have credit card debt, that is another issue you need to pay off before you walk in so that you do not jepordize your car or home. I inspect forclosures and bankruptcy homes and I could write a book on the mistakes people make.........I inspected a woman yesterday who I had her 3 cars which were behind and last month her mortgage paymenet was behind, so yes I could teach you on what to and what not to do.
Refinancing your home and or/ rolling the car loan in your home is not the way to go! Do you really want to be paying on your car for 30 years? NO!
Find out what you can afford. Realize that the car drops in value as you drive it off the lot! Buy used and let some one else take the butt kicking on the value. For instance my husband bought a 2008 car that had already been re-poed so they had to sell it used. We got an awesome deal. Years ago I bought a car that had a fist "bad paint job" so it had to go back in and get it repainted. I got it for half the price because they couldnt sell it new. So, see you have to SHOP around and not take the first "deal".
Last but not least please, be firm on what you can afford! Cash is much better and you can find awesome deals right now and if you cant afford that, it is time to step back and say "hey I can't afford the nicer car now, but it will become later. Don't worry about the Jones down the block, what you don't know is they are behind on the BMW!
