Dealer tricks with “due at signing” v “money down”

I believe that language can still leave some room open for miscommunication. Why not just say I am going to do 0 down and only pay tax and fees at signing with my monthly payment being X/mo? That’ll make it super clear from your end that you will not be putting money down on the car.

You sound like me :slight_smile:

Then many times they follow with, “so just first payment at signing then?”

And I say in some joking manner “No…I literally will not be bringing my wallet”, and then they get the picture.
