You pay the amount they advertise straight up. Dealer fees only came to $15. Since you register the car yourself and all you dont really pay any fees. When you go to the DMV to register your car you pay your own state tax. Just toss it on the good credit card and call it a day. You do your own financing so look around for a good credit union or talk to your bank. I went with penfed.org and got 4.25% financing. Once the finances are taken care of you setup shipping with DAS, a company Socal uses. From Cali to NY they are charging me just under 1k. If your insurance company coveres shipping that will save you about $100.
As you can tell I'm in the middle of buying a car from Socal. Sam has been really great to deal with. Im just waiting for my checks to clear then they are shipping my car. If you have any other ?? feel free to ask here or shoot me a PM.

buying a car at southcoast is easier then grocery shopping.

theres no catch, gimmicks, sketchiness, or 6 hours in the finance department.

you basically pick your flavor, and sign at the bottom.

A+ for the mitsubishi superstores (south coast, huntington beach, victorville)

I can second that. Hassle free great prices! You actually get the price Sam advertises on here.

I fought with 5 people at bmw and got nothing off msrp....oh they were willing to give me a free hat...why dont you just ask me to bend over!
At Nissan I was allowed to take the car out on my own for a drive then when I got back gave the salesman the keys back and he just said goodbye. Didnt even ask if I liked it or if I wanted to talk prices.

so how would it go when having to finalize everything, do i have to go down to cali to sign papers or can they fax everything to my bank..

hey malves85 are penfed.org are they credible.

They overnight all the paperwork to you by DHL and give you a pre-paid package to overnight it back.

Penfed is credible. I know many people that have used it. Its a federal credit union with the government so i would consider it very safe. You just have to give a $20 donation to the army and open a savings account with $5 and your set.

I looked on their website and showing 4.25 apr, and you mentioned that rate aswell as too what you got, i assume thats with excellent credit

Im only 23 so my credit isnt as established as most. I got a report from experian and found my score is 749.
Add up what you make per month minus bills. Use the estimator on their site and see what the monthly payment would be on your loan. Divide the monthly payment by your disposable monthly income and if its between 15-20% i think its like an automatic approval. Im sure they also look at your credit score which should be above 700. Im no expert in loans but from what ive seen these are my guesses.
I dont think you need excellent credit but decent credit

Winner!

I had an environmental fee on mine as well as the dealer fee. For me total fees above the purchase price were roughly $85.

gizmotoy

Weird variations in fees. Mine had a $55 "documentation prep." fee. All of them are reasonable, though, at least.

I must be the only person who didn't have a great experience with South Coast... makes me sad
