Where to begin. My wife and I were searching for a 2023 EV to beat the expiration of the $4000 tax credit.

We looked at VW's Volvos, Teslas, and Pat Lobb Toyota had a Toyota bZ4x (I know, you've never heard of it either, but it's a solid car). We spent a week haggling with them on price, and finally I let them know on the final day to take advantage of the tax credit that we were either buying their car for $22,500 or driving to Austin to buy a VW ID.4 for the same price. They agreed. Then, after 3 hours of paperwork at the dealership they pull the switch-a-roo: they try to get their profit in the finance box. I have an 800+ credit score and they told me the best they could do was 8% on my loan. I called xx and got up to leave. Then, "Mo" said he could probably get me sub-6% if he got an exception from one of their lenders. After that xx, I felt like the dealership was dishonest for trying to screw me and I left. So, we have now lost the opportunity to get the $4000 EV credit that expires tonight and I guarantee you Pat Lobb will not sell that car unless they drastically discount it or send it to auction. Very bad business decision on their part to ruin a relationship for a car that they won't be able to sell now. Also, lesson learned on my end: I should have had back-up financing ready to go. But, dealerships have always been able to get me better rates. I WILL NEVER BUY A CAR FROM PAT LOBB TOYOTA IN MCKINNEY! BTW, their finance guys didn't know what the EV tax credit was. SMH. More
