I spoke to my CA in regard to financing an ED and he told me that it was best to do this through BWMFS and not through a credit union. He told me stuff about banks/credit unions not knowing about ED and all that. Is there any truth to that? I can imagine that it would be convenient to finance through BMWFS but they are offering me a rate of 7.1%, which is so much higher than what I am getting through my credit union.
I have read on these ED boards where people finance EDs through BMWFS and then come back and re-finance. Is it easy to refinance a car after you get back from ED and do you think i will be able to get the same rate from my credit union?
Thanks for your responses.

Its technically true but many have been able to explain the idiosyncracies of ED to a friendly credit union loan officer to get financed. Some conveniently "forgot" telling their finance company what ED is.
As for refi after delivery, the rate is not as good as a new purchase loan since the car is considered used.

Not true, my credit union gives new car rates for cars model year 2002 and newer.
