Have you ever bought a car or house before? You needed to borrow around 7k to ride off with a 3700 down payment. 13.99 Apr sucks. This is one of those loans that puts a rider under when they have to sell for some reason. Apr includes fees too if I'm not mistaken.

Sounds like they pocketed your down payment. You should have 3 days to cancel the contract, maybe.

3 days do not apply to automotive products.

That's why I said maybe. I wasn't for sure.

Most States have a law for vehicle purchase that gives you a three-day I must have been out of my mind moment. Run, don walk and cancel that deal if possible. Be forewarned, it could be considered a sporting vehicle and not fall under the same rule as a car. Only homes and cars apply in VA.
Financing a home and a car for work is truly the only thing one should finance unless they have the cash to pay for the item and are just taking advantage of borrowing with their other funds making more.
Financing a hobby is a mark of ignorance. Paying $18801.40 for a Sporty is stupid.

You need to look it up because you are wrong.

Why would you finance anything at 13.99%?
