I have been shopping for a new truck for a few weeks. Doing all the appropriate internet research, reading reviews, getting dealer invoices, taking test drives and asking about pricing etc. The other day I had my fiancee go to the local Ford dealership to take a look at the F150's. I wanted her to check out the limited, the platinum, and the FX4's. She started with the limited in a blue jean color with a marina blue leather and fell in love instantly. I was working so she brought it over to me to take a look at. I liked it alot but but wasn't sure if I "loved" it or not. I asked her to talk to the dealership about a price on it and we would see from there. I knew dealer invoice and had a good idea of what I would be willing to pay for it. They came in at a very good price (suggested retail after all taxes and fees was 71,000 and they were able to come down to 56,000 complete out the door price. This was including a $6750 factory rebate from Ford and a 1000$ costco discount. Overall an excellent price and around the invoice cost. My fiancee really wanted it so I said lets go ahead and work out a deal and apply for the financing. I had about a 15G down payment that I was going to make and I was approved for the financing late on Friday afternoon. After thinking about it a bit more over the weekend I decided that I want to shop around for a few other models first and test drive a few more before I commit 100% to the deal. Because I was approved for the financing and they did up a deal on the truck and some accessories am I now obligated to buy it? I haven't signed anything yet or paid a deposit but I noticed they did take the truck off the website. I wasn't just wasting the dealerships or the salespersons time I am planning to buy a truck for sure either from them or someone else but I'm just not 100% sold on the one my fiancee picked for me
Just curious how you guys would tactfully handle this situation. I will be talking to the dealership on Monday. Thanks guys.
question about truck buying and changing mind?
