When a car dealership finance manager "ties product to rate," it means they are essentially forcing a customer to purchase an additional product, like an extended warranty or gap insurance, in order to receive a favorable interest rate on their car loan; essentially making the lower interest rate contingent on buying the additional product, which is considered an illegal practice known as "tied selling."
