Default Changing financing name on ordered car

I have a question for you guys I have an order placed from a forum sponsor and car is set to be built TPW 6 /2. I was approved for financing through my credit union. I place the order under my name and now it turns out I may new business opportunity where I need to use my credit to acquire.

Would it be a problem if my wife financed the vehicle solely under her name for my individual order?
Not sure exactly how it works on ordered cars.

Tried contacting my sales guy but he has not responded.

Any info would help thanks

Why would it be? Chevy doesn't care...as long as they're paid in the end. As long as she has the credit rating to do the financing I can't see a prolem. the 2 are not connected...

Thanks for your response. My wife does qualify

The reason I ask is because when I ordered the car he asked me to give my complete exact name in which I wanted the car titled.
If I change to my wifes name I dont know if that messes up GMs order and title paperwork . Since order is only under my name.

This has nothing to do with GM but between you and the dealer. Have them make a new bill of sale in the your wife's name for title purposes and financing.

All the dealer cares about is that they are paid in full before the car leaves their premises.

This is what I've been told (No confirm facts, just heard it from a salesperson)

If the car is marked as a "Customer Ordered" car, GM is expecting that same customer to get the car. If the car doesn't go to that original person then the dealership does possibly get dinged for putting in a "fake order" According to them, it effect allocation and other back end money. Apparently they have to be a habitual offender for it to matter.

Like I said, I don't know if any of that is true, just what I heard.

Maybe Dave @ Kerbeck can chime in just so we know more useless facts? LOL

If they are married it should not matter at all. In fact, I don't know Florida law, but in Texas it would not matter who's name the car is in from a legal standpoint as it is a community property state, meaning both parties are responsible for the vehicle. There can be exceptions if it is shown that it is purchased with separate funds - but I'm not sure how that works as funds are likely in many cases to be community property as well. I would look into that before assuming it makes a difference who's name you put the vehicle in.

If there was an issue like GM raising the price like in March, you may lose price protection. Otherwise you are probably good to go with putting it in the wife's name.

No issues. The order placed was in my dads name and the finance was done in mine. This was back in october. You will be fine.

If the only thing done at this point is order through car and no other paperwork has been done (like DMV) then it won't be a problem as long as your wife can get approved for the loan on her own.

This is not an issue. I also live in Florida and ordered my C7 vert in my name. The car was built and was shipped over to the museum for delivery and before I went to Bowling Green to pick up the car, I had to go into my dealer to settle up on the car. When I got there and looked at the paperwork, everything was fine, except I did not like paying almost $300 for a new Florida tag. I had just sold my wife's '01 vert to make room and had the de-commissioned tag off that car in my garage. So, I changed the paperwork and put the C7 vert in my wife's name and just transferred the old tag that was in her name. Saved a few hundred bucks.

This is a non issue, just talk to your dealer.

Yup...He's already paid GM for the car. What happens after is up to him...(he's gonna want your money no matter how you supply it.)
