Congrats...Toyota's are well made. You did good until you told them what you could pay monthly...because they can back in the price of the car. Have you put a pencil to the 300 a month payments x the years you financed? Hopefully it adds up to the 5,000? Anyhoo enjoy...


Once you tell them $300 is your max, that's it. You could have gotten it for much less...

Believe me I learned this the hard way. My father was a car salesman and never told me this trick. I finally bought a book of tricks used by car salesmen and this was one.

Yes, I was reading a lot about shopping for a car when I was in the market last year, and everyone said that one of the first questions they will ask is "how much do you want your monthly payment to be?".

Sure enough, that's what they all did.

The car wasn't $5000...

I hope OP really read the contract. She has like 3 days from purchase to change her mind?

Even at twice that the car would be very cheap.

That depends. Some of those contracts are really tricky.

You had a car for 28 years??? Holy smokes! I'd buy another Nissan if I had that good of an experience with it! Congrats on getting a new car that you love! May it last as long as your last one!
