Free preview · from the dealership side of the desk
Most people stop paying attention the moment they drive away. That’s a mistake, because the first 30 days are when several things need to happen: your loan gets set up, your trade payoff gets sent, your title and plates arrive, promised items get delivered, and add-on cancellation windows begin to close. Miss one and you can end up with a late payment on your credit report or a double payment on your old car.
From the dealership side, a deal is “done” once it’s funded. Follow-up after that depends on busy people in a busy building. Your job is to check that everything that was supposed to happen did. Free tip: don’t wait for a first statement that may not arrive in time; call the lender and confirm your first due date. Below: the week-by-week list, reviewing your products while refunds are still easy, title and registration timing, a worked example, and what to say.
