Correct.
However, my recommendation would be to discuss the refi in advance of the purchase with whatever institution you intend to use to refinance.

the only tip is to make sure what is says in writing....
Always get everything in writing! No dealer stickers, full tank of gas, no front platre mount unless you are OK with it, etc.

Throw it into an auto loan calculator and get the amortization schedule. See how much interest is in those 3 payments (hint, its a large chunk). That’s money you lose when you refi.

Great idea. I actually ended up doing that today, and made a spreadsheet (nerd alert) comparing different scenarios. If the current refinance rates stayed close to what they are, this option could *potentially* save $700 over my next best offer, over the course of the entire loan.
In my mind, $700 is not worth the hassle of having to deal with refinancing, and also hoping rates stay the way they are...
That said, today, I just received an offer for $31,250 final OTD price (SE, DSG, experience package). This actually seems like a pretty good deal. Anyone have thoughts on that offer?
CPO 2018 Golf R DSG with 6,100mi.
Got a pretty decent deal compared to what's available on the market right now. $37,500 +TTL, $4,000 for my 2dr 2010 GTI DSG w/129k miles (no leather, sunroof, nav), CPO warranty until 5/2025 or 84k miles, VW Credit summer sales event pays $500 of the first payment.

Ooooh! You should definitely do a Look Who's Talking Two custom GTI to keep with the movie theme.

Picked up a pre-owned 2018 GTI S model. Had only 13.3k miles and great condition; previous owner even had window tint and a clear bra on hood already. $21,500 for GTI (excluding tags, taxes,fees). Traded in a 4Runner that was already paid off so I received a check back on the deal. Waiting on the title to the GTI from DMV now.

I finally landed on a night blue 2018 GTI-S DSG CPO with 16k miles for $19,995. I decided to play with the pre-approved bank money and did 0 down, and with tax and tag ended up at ~$21.6k OTD. Been watching the price drop several grand on this car for a few months (CarGurus), and the dealer was ready to move it.
I’ve been lurking the forums for 6 months after deciding the GTI was going to be my next vehicle. I debated new Vs. used for a while, but at this price I figured the first owner took the depreciation hit and I can invest in some upgrades when ready. As a 2018 CPO I still have 5+1 years of warranty, so I think I got the right deal in the end.

Two years ago I was trying to decide between a Golf and a GTI—and I chose the Golf. But I’ve been thinking about the GTI ever since. An opportunity came up where I could unload the Golf at minimal loss, so I took it. And I’m finally getting into a GTI!
2019 GTI S with Driver Assist, some extra equipment
MSRP including destination: $30.5K
Total negotiated price: $25K
OTD price including $500 discount through VW Partner Program (SCCA): $27K
I’m mostly happy with the purchase. They wouldn’t let me take off VW Care, which was mildly annoying. But I didn’t feel that strong about it—the 10K & 20K service are going to cost $160 anyway. I shopped the price around to several dealers but they were either unable or unwilling to beat it. And I wasn’t willing to dive more than an hour out of my way. Strangely it just didn’t seem like people were all that interested in making a sale. I think if I had waited into August or September I probably could have gotten a better deal. (Hive mind: how much better? I just want to know how much money I left on the table!) But the person who wanted to buy my Golf had an external constraint on their end, so I didn’t have the luxury of unlimited time.

Joined the Cornflower Blue Rabbit club. Got a DSG for a flat 5000 off msrp, which was the best deal I could find in Southern California by quite a bit. Ended up just under 29k OTD.
Most dealers wouldn't budge. The ones I emailed with that quote flat out told me they would never match that and I should take it.
