I guess the reason it doesn’t add up is the $10k that was on my up front cost was included in calculating my payment. The $845 is closer to the original number I was given. If the payment had been left at that and the upfront cost was a little over $2k I would be picking up a truck tomorrow.
There was no fine print I missed. The information was different in 2 places on the Rivian site, with no concrete explanation of why except for what my guide was relaying to me.
No problem on misunderstanding, it is hard to get all the information out in this format.
i was purchasing a truck with a trade. That fell through and I switched to a lease with no trade.
I was in the process to purchase a truck, for a week and a half they said it is almost here. I then found out it was still sitting in CA. I switched trucks to a 2023 and a lease. I put 0 down payment. Why is it my fault that they unilaterally decided since I was going to trade for a purchase...
Just to show I wasn't crazy or not reading, this is the page I saw from Rivian when it said my finances were approved:
This is pretty plain what I owe. I wish I had gotten a screen capture of the page that showed higher.
The email I received from Rivian laid it out plainly that I would pay $2825.50 up front, when I went to pay it had $12825.50. When I clicked on the information i by the amount It showed $2825.50. The explanation I got was I had been trading in a truck and since I wasn’t doing that I had to put...
Yeah, I kind of thought that after posting.
i has 4 different VINs in my short time of trying to purchase a truck. The next to last one never left CA after a week of telling me it would be here “soon”.
i pivoted to a lease of a 2023. Everything was going along fine and got to the payment due...
Not that anyone cares, but I will be less active. My lease/purchase of a Rivian fell through at the last minute due to undisclosed payment amount on the lease. If anyone wants more info, I will type it out.
This is a very knowledgeable and friendly group. I am sorry that I was not able to join...
I just learned something interesting (to me at least). I have had 4 different VINs since I have been trying to purchase a truck. The next to last one was supposed to be transferred, but was stuck in San Francisco for over a week waiting on transport. When I found out it hadn't even been...
I reserved and immediately got a delivery date of less than a week, that day was almost a week ago. I found out Monday it was in CA and was shipped on Friday. I found out today it is tagged for shipping and is still sitting in CA. Ian exploring other options.
I am not sure the Rivian software is that smart. I reserved an R1T that was “local” to my zip and it turns out it is in San Francisco.
So much for local.
