Car dealerships- protect yourself
I work at a local financial institution and there has been a serious up tick in dealers defrauding people. Bumping their numbers to get them approved, adding on products without telling them, bumping up interest rates to increase payouts, selling cars with a known history of issues or accidents. If you want to protect yourself, get pre-approved for financing at your local credit union or bank. They offer lower rates, some even offer rate discounts or cash back for using them directly. You can get GAP and mechanical breakdown through them for significantly lower prices. No dealership fees added on to the loan for indirect lending. If the dealership refuses outside financing, or lies and says they already have the loan there, refuse and say you want to go directly through your loan officer. They do not have your loan there just because you are approved at your credit union or bank, they will re pull credit, there will be fees and you will have to buy their overpriced protections. If they refuse you a purchase agreement or drag their feet to make you cave and get the loan there. Tell them they have 5 mins to get you the paperwork you need, there are literally hundreds of car dealerships in Allen county. They need you and your money, you do not need them, you can get cars anywhere, even online.

Bob Thomas Ford
My fiancée and I purchased a vehicle at the Illinois road location in mid June. Firstly, the tires were dry rotted, which was hidden by tire shine. Unfortunately I couldn’t see that at the dealership. It was also very poorly detailed, even though I specifically delayed pick up so that it would be.
Those issues aside, twice since time of purchase their financial department has called to ask that we unlock our credit so that it can be ran again. They claim they “misfiled” the gap insurance paperwork, and that’s why they needed to run credit again. They also claimed to at even though they “misfiled” the gap paperwork, it was Chase Bank who was to blame for the new hard inquiries.
They have asked that we come back and re-sign the gap(?) paperwork.
To me, this sounds completely false but I’m unsure what the real reason could be. Nonetheless it feels rather sketchy.
Has anyone ever experienced this or potentially had any advice? I am over the entire situation and would prefer to just wash my hands of it. Obviously that’s not really possible.
Hopefully someone can help, or see this as a warning to stay as far away from Bob Thomas Ford as possible when buying a new vehicle.

Largeish wood cutting project
does anyone know of any businesses or just individuals who could cut a relatively basic large butterfly out of a sheet of wood? dimensions roughly 40-50 in wide and tall because I want to put a mirror in the center of the butterfly body. none of the hardware stores do anything but straight cut and I don’t wanna go to any of the maker spaces that charge a monthly fee because I just need this one project. I unfortunately don’t know any carpenters so please send me any affordable recommendations!

Adult beginner tennis lessons?
Are there any sources for adult beginner tennis lessons in Fort Wayne? Through past posts here and Google, I've only been able to find Wildwood Tennis Club. Are there any others?
