Usually the approval comes with a downpayment as much as 20%. And most of the time it is also with a personal guarantee. These times are not "business as usual," no matter how strong your financials are. Please keep reading and responding. Thank you. Sam, I still find folks getting approved on used equipment.

It sounds to me that the sales rep was from a dealer rather then the manufacturer. Often, dealer principles are shadier then their reps, and in fact encourage this type of behavior. This is what gives our business a bad name, and just one more reason why consumers should deal with the manufacturer's directly.
