No worries...gonna refi soon anyway.
Question from one Georgian to another....do I have to wait to receive something in the mail to register at the local tag office or can I go whenever? Also, Koons pays the advalorem tax ((technically, I paid Koons the tax at closing), correct? Or were you hit with a big tax bill at registration?
Koons told me that they have a title service company that will handle getting the car titled in Georgia. Technically we paid the TAVT to Koons. Koons told me to wait for a call from their service to go ahead and register. I am going to follow up the first week of April to check on status.

The more I think about how they f-ed me over on the finance the angrier I get. Feel like reaching out and saying something to them, but they won't care as they sold the car and now I'm essentially "dead" to them. Gonna be refinancing ASAP as I see nothing in anything I signed that states I have to make 3 payments.

Koons did the same to me, I refinanced the next week.

If you refinance immediately, they likely lose their additional $ kickback, so in the end you will get the “last word”.

I did the same thing when I bought my 21 last August. Was pissed off after I got home and realized I probably got shafted by the dealer on the finance deal. Refinanced about a month later for 1% less.

I read through my entire contract, there was nothing on there that said anything about having to make a certain amount of payments before getting out of the loan. There was only one mention that if the loan was paid off early, that there was going to be a certain fee which was never applied when I refinanced. I refinanced before I even made my first payment to the loan.

You can refinance the day you walk out the door. I had an honest salesman and finance guy when I bought my truck (not at Koons) who both told me it only benefits the dealer. They get a kickback from the manufacturer if you finance through them at the higher rate. If you refinance tomorrow, the dealer loses the kickback and you lose nothing. I openly told them I would be refinancing the next day through my credit union - and I did. They still honored the large dealer discount they offered.

I refinanced with credit union before the first payment. Went from the crappy 3.9% from Koons to 1.9%. Happy camper.

That is the kind of sales and finance guys that would get all of my future vehicle purchases.
