hmmm that seems pretty cheap, especially from a dealer. its pretty hard to find one that cheap from a private seller so i'm not sure why the dealer would let it go for so little. if the dealer's not pulling any strings though and the car is really in good condition then thats a pretty sweet deal

the interest rate was 8%.... unless an extended warranty was purchased. so the APR would drop to something like 7 or so

One should have nothing to do with the other. If they can get you 7 with an extended warranty there is no reason they can't get you 7 without one. This is one area of stealerships I hate. They are actually making money on your financing. Tell then you are going to get your own financing and see how fast it changes.....I love pissing them off. If it were me I would look into my credit union or bank anyways. You will almost always get a better rate. Good luck and enjoy the Z.

+1 They may be giving you a deal on the front end but they're a$$ raping you on the backend. Tell them to sell the car at $20K and you provide financing at a lower rate based off of YOUR CREDIT SCORE not warranty. Also, all extended warranties are extras and can be taken off. If they don't budge on either one then you know that the deal will fall through below their profit margin.

Big time. After looking at a Z last week and telling the guy that I'll be taking out a loan, his attitude completely changed and he became a total as*hole.
