Home Questions about 2.9% Loans The Dealer Responds More Stories My Loan Information

 

 

This site is here to help you be a better RV consumer. Learn about the sales technique that could cost you 10's of thousands of dollars.

The old saying "Buyer Beware" means it if sounds to good to be true it probably is.

To get you into their dealerships and get you interested in a new or used RV some dealers  promote a low interest rate loan ( 2.9% ) to qualified customers .

This turns out to be one of those "Buyer Beware" deals. This low interest rate deal could cost you thousands of dollars over the life of your RV loan.


Here is what happened to me.

A few days after I signed the sales contract on my new RV I began to feel like I did not actually get the bargain  I thought I had. I shopped around and found that I could have bought the same RV for a much lower price. But I did have a loan for 2.9% A.P.R. (2.6% below market loan rates).

What was the catch?

During the sales pitch I asked all the right questions and I got nice sounding answers from the dealer. Unfortunately these answers all turned out to be misleading or out right wrong.

I should have saved a lot of money on my new RV but something seemed very wrong.

I learned I could have bought this same RV for $32,000 less up front from another dealer and my monthly payments would have been the same with a conventional 5.5% loan from my own bank.

Here is the worst part of the deal, if I decide to sell my RV before the full term of the loan ( I like to get a new unit within 5 years) it will cost me even more. And I can't even deduct as much from my taxes as I could with a honest deal from another dealer.

Learn how I got fooled and save yourself lots of money! Take a close look at My Loan and see for yourself!
