Margen del concesionario o prestamista diferente
60%Los concesionarios pueden tener sus propias divisiones de financiación o asociaciones con prestamistas. Es posible que hayan presentado una tasa de un prestamista diferente o que hayan añadido un margen a la tasa que obtuvieron.
Cambio en la Puntuación de Crédito

Soluciones recomendadas
8 solucionesNegotiate with Dealership
🤖 AI Analysis
"The user's core problem is a discrepancy between their pre-approved rate and the dealership's offered rate. Negotiating directly with the dealership, armed with their pre-approval, is the most direct way to attempt to resolve this. The user has already stated the discrepancy, and this solution empowers them to leverage their pre-approval in a negotiation."
Compare Dealership Offers
🤖 AI Analysis
"This solution is highly relevant because it addresses the need to understand the dealership's offer. By asking for the exact terms and lender, the user can directly compare it to their pre-approval and identify potential reasons for the difference, which is crucial for negotiation or further action."
Use External Lenders
🤖 AI Analysis
"Given the user has a pre-approval from a bank and the dealership's rate is higher, this solution provides a clear path forward if negotiation fails. It suggests using the pre-approved external financing, which is a strong alternative to accepting a less favorable dealership rate."
Clarify Pre-Approval Terms
🤖 AI Analysis
"While the user stated their pre-approved rate, getting written confirmation from the lender is a good step to ensure there are no misunderstandings or subtle terms that might explain the difference. It solidifies the user's position before further action."
Check Your Credit Score
🤖 AI Analysis
"The dealership cited 'market changed' as a reason for the rate increase. Checking the user's credit score and report is a proactive step to see if there have been any negative changes that could justify a higher rate from the lender's perspective, or if the dealership is using this as a pretext."
Request Credit Report Review
🤖 AI Analysis
"Similar to checking their own credit report, reviewing the credit report the dealership pulled can reveal if there were any inaccuracies or recent negative marks that the dealership is using to justify a higher rate. This is a more specific investigation into the dealership's actions."
Verify Pre-Approval Expiration
🤖 AI Analysis
"The pre-approval was obtained 'within the last week,' making expiration unlikely to be the primary cause of the rate difference. However, it's still a possibility, especially if the market is volatile, so it retains some relevance."
Re-apply for Pre-Approval
🤖 AI Analysis
"Since the pre-approval is recent and from a bank, re-applying is less likely to be immediately necessary unless the original pre-approval is confirmed to be invalid or expired. It's a secondary step if other avenues fail."
