Is this normal? It's from PNC, they say they want a cashiers check. I feel like I am getting a run around.

GO to different dealer, buy new car then drive to the one who wouldn't take it and show them your new car.

They don't want the sale for whatever reason. Go to another dealer .

Fact that dealer will not accept that check is BS. I used PNC ready check on my last car purchase . . . dealers see them all the time.
Like others have said, easy solution, go to another dealer that wants to sell you a vehicle. |

They wanted to fuck you in the finance office.
You revealed you had your own deal worked out before they were to the point of blue balls to compete the deal. Kharn |

Anyone that thinks a dealer doesn't want business is a moron.
Many businesses have policies like this. A promise to loan you money doesn't mean shit, until it's money. |

Yes, the OP is implying there should be some sort of government regulation forcing them to accept his method of payment View Quote OP thinks he is getting the run around, and he probably is because the dealership makes money if OP uses its financing . . . dealer makes no money on financing when customer arranges his own. No demand for anything in OP's post, simply a question. Again, option for everyone in this situation is to go to dealer that wants to sell him/her a car without the BS. |

Did they offer to hold the car until the check clears?
Is there a phone number the dealer can call? Do you have a trade in? What does your loan to value look like on the car? |

Care to elaborate? I agreed to purchase the truck, but I'm coming back with their check on Monday or having them deal with PNC directly. They ain't getting my financing after how big of assholes they have been. View Quote |

Many dealers do that. Those checks come with a checklist the dealer has to submit to the lender, then wait to get the approval then the funds transferred. We accept them, but the car has to sit until the funds are approved. Some people figet those instant approvals and dealers have had issues letting the customer take the car and funds are denied then the dealer has to try to get the car back all because the customer lied to get the approval. I have seen it happen more than once in my 17 years in the car business. They should accept the check but won't let you take the car until they have the money in their account
ETA. Those loan approvals are not guaranteed. It isn't like a certified check from your bank or a bank. Some dealers don't take large personal checks. It's just their policy. We do and have even gotten burned on them once or twice. |

Easy there feller, adults are trying to talk. A dealer doesn't know what kind of stipulations the third party lender has. Oh sure, you have a promise to fund. That's great until the customer joyriding in your inventory (if delivered under this premise) Wont email proof of income/residence etc. Under those circumstances, the lien holder will not fund until the purchaser complies.

I had a pre approved bank loan for 18 k once when I say approved I mean hard commitment, credit was run income verified everything. All I had to do to get a certified check was fax over the paperwork.

Define "check ready loan." View Quote Unlike a traditional loan, you don't 'pull the trigger' on the loan until you actually write the check to buy the car. There is generally a 30 day 'end date' where if you haven't pulled the trigger, the 'almost loan' cannot be acted upon, but you can re-apply |

they probably offered you a price they wanted to finance at, My friend bought a kia when she wanted a new one she negotiated the price, and when they found out she was going to pay cash they pulled the deal, she went to another dealer and got it for the price and cash.

Ignoring the fact that telephones exist and the dealer could call PNC and ask what those stipulations are, and also ignoring the other things you list are the exact risks dealerships take every time they do a spot-delivery, what I would do with a hypothetical rifle I'm hypothetically selling has exactly ZERO in common with an actual business with multiple legitimate resources to enforce the legally binding (ie, not an IOU ) contract it enters into with it's customers.

Last car my wife and I bought, we just wrote them a personal check and drove off the lot with our new car.
I was a little surprised, but apparently they weren't worried. |

It would be hard to believe any dealership would just accept a pre approved loan check on face value like it was a certified check or a bank check. Those things in my experience are just a prop like the fake diploma you get on stage.
Those pre-approved checks are really just to give the dealer the information they need in order to contact your financial institution to A: ensure you're actually approved for the loan, then B: arrange for payment to the dealer. |

This is exactly true. So are capitol ones, ect. But the loan is not approved until the dealer faxes in certain stipulations and it's verified. Also the vehicle has to meet certain criteria. I have worked many of these deals. It isn't approved until the money is in the account. I could submit everything and do all the paperwork on the car and let you leave with it. Then the next day or two the bank comes back and says we don't approve this. Then I have to go get the car back or have you bring it back in. Third party checks are a touchy area.
