I signed a loan agreement, now they want to change it?

I bought a used Nissan truck from a Honda dealership. I put $3,000 down and signed an agreement for 72 months at $220.90 per month. I got a call today, six days later, saying they couldn't finance the loan at that rate, but could for $17 more per month.

Can they do that? That's another $1,200!

    That's illegal. A contract binds both parties.

    Report them to the State bureau of licensing and regulation.

    And put the vehicle where repo agents can't find it.

    You may also have to file a lawsuit for breach of contract.

    Somewhere on the contract you signed, it says something to the effect of "pending credit approval". If they can't find a bank to finance you at that rate, there is no deal. You either return the car or accept the new terms.

    Bruce,

    Sure they can do that. But you do not have to agree to their terms. Get a loan independently from the car dealership, you will get a much better rate. Go to your bank or credit union to find better terms.
