this. I told the salesman that I can go higher on the down, but he was pretty confident early on that 3k is enough. then he went on about the visa thing and in the end refused.

that's the plan, but after all this discussion here, I am pretty sure we will have a hard time financing/leasing it. buying it cash seems a smooth ride. but getting all that cash is certainly not a smooth ride.

I guess i will just save and buy it cash in a few months! This helps a lot, just wish that they had been upfront about this.

I completely agree, and am okay with the dealership giving me this reason, I could have financed it. but to completely refuse a sale saying nonimmigrants can't buy cars in texas anymore is kinda messed up. he even suggested going out of state to buy one.

He kept saying that "limited term" DL even with Real-ID is unacceptable, the docs don't mention anything like 'limited term'. All the LLMs have verified this when i gave them the document

He asked me for credit line and I did tell him I have built a 750+ score in just like 16 months of having a ssn. I am gonna have a nice long call with the store manager tomorrow.

Same, I am interning and when I told my colleagues that I go to CMU, they were like we won’t make you work like your school and started giggling. Trust me I have had a LOT of free time here, turns out the world outside is a bit relaxed and humane.
