It never fails. Just when you think you've got a good deal on a car you find out that if you waited a couple of days you would have gotten a better one. I just bought a Chevy Cavalier and took out a 60 month contract for 14.5% with GMAC. I know it's kind of high but I knew what I wanted and I went for it, perhaps impulsively. The price was right. Two days later GM comes out with 8.8% financing for the same car (for 48 months)! Now, the question is: Am I screwed, or does the consumer have any sort of protection against deals that change overnight. I find it hard to believe that this new financing rate comes as a total shock to my dealership. If they knew about it, do I as a consumer have the right to a renegotiation of the contract. I know this all sounds hopelessly naive but if I have a shot at something I'm gonna take it. Alternatively, can I wriggle my awy out of the contract and then refinance? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Art Steinman Path..houxu!ahs
