I did not exclude that possibility. There's no "technically" about what i said. Its just yes period. You're just upset about how silly your statements have been about contracts and are grasping for straws to argue with me about.

One silly link by one reporter is meaningless to me.

You don't understand what a contract is. If he cancels now it will just chop some payments off the back end of his loan. His monthly payment will stay the same. The end. He would have to refinance to change the payment. Good luck getting 0% on a used car.

Funny how you think scamming people is a legit "businesses profit"...... spoken like a true car salesman.

A credible reporter from a highly respected outlet. You? A faceless anonymous car salesman with an agenda who thinks scamming is part of the business model.

How many new cars have you bought? I've bought 10+ and have had the contract terms changed many times, always resulting in the payments being changed. I doubt you've ever bought a car before.

Just stop, it's obvious you know nothing about buying cars.
The car is sold. There is no "contingency clause" that would apply. The amount financed, rate, and payment are set forth in the contract. If he returns the warranty, all they will do is make a $1775 payment to his account. It will reduce the overall balance but it won't reduce the obligated payment.

Merely correcting your lies/false statements.

This is completely wrong:

No one can make a blanket statement about these. They vary wildly from great to pointless.

Each time I've bought a new car, I was offered an extended warranty from a 3rd party, which I promptly refused (that must've hurt).

The balance changes but the payments remain the same? Flunk basic math?

Contracts aren't set in stone. Only someone who has never purchased a car would think this.

Funny how not one person can back up your claim. If there were one person at least from the same state that could back you up i might believe it but from the way you talk i doubt it.

Funny how you won't deny being a sleazy car salesman. That's all I need to know.

I've gotten plenty of reps for my comments.

I've had the APR and amount financed changed and the payments were always lowered to reflect that. Banks want the payments to be 24, 48, 60 month increments, not 17, 41, 53.
Incorrect sir. Finance companies will accept any advance payment or additional funds as a credit toward the balance but will not change the monthly payment amount unless you specifically rewrite the loan terms. The payment will remain the same.

You're right, I couldn't care less what you do for a living. But what you say is my concern, because you are giving out false information.... not surprising coming from a sleazy car salesman.

You're the one who asked "where's your online backup"......
