Now that I think about it, when I put 10,000 cash down on mine, I can't for the life of me remember if I got a reciept at the time. That would suuuuck if they called foul on that amount..lol! |

My last F&I Manager forgot to collect a down payment once. I stress "once" because he was let go within the next couple of days.

The dealer may be able to mitagate that prima facia evidence by showing circumstances that make it likely the money wasn't paid -- F&I guy specifically remembers he didn't get the money, the books for that night show $1000 short, evidence of a timely phone call or correspondence by the F&I guy or general manager to the effect that "sorry to bother you, but in the rush we forgot to get your deposit". But, we don't know if the OP's dealer has any of that evidence. According the the OP he got a cold call from the collection department at the dealership months later saying he owed the money.

^^You are right. We have no idea really what is going on.
It will really come down to how they handle there policies and procedures on taking deposits. If I have receipts for 99.99999% of my transactions, because that is our policy and we are missing one deposit and don't have a receipt for said deposit, and neither does the customer, who do you think will win??? I honestly wonder how this is going to play out. |

I'm giving the OP the benefit of the doubt. The dealer sounds fishy in this case. Someone just bought a 30k automobile, you forgot to get his deposit. And furthermore you forget that you forgot his deposit (or just couldn't be bothered to call him up) and it is assigned to a credit collector for the dealership months later...

When I bought my car, I put 7k (or 9k) down. I had a large amount of it in cash, and the rest I put on my debit card. The told me that I had 14 days to give the whole amount, if I needed. The contract shows the down payment, the receipt shows the proof it's paid.
I got 2 receipts, one for the cash...one for the debit. I hope it doesn't end up being an expensive lesson, but you really should always get a receipt. It become even more important when it's cash, as there is no transaction recorded anywhere else.

Maybe the dealership "forgets" in bulk selling cars, I would say (I bought from Smithtown Niassn they say they're the 2nd largest) even the biggest Nissan dealers don't really sell Z's that often... it can't be that they slacked off.
I will certainly not buy that "because it was getting late , they forgot". . . they MAKE it get late so they can rush u into high pressure situations and make you walk out with the car ASAP so you don't change ur mind. |

Thanks for the tip but at this point I'm losing all patience and am really considering legal action myself.

It will cost you more than $1000 to recover your $1000.. the dealership knows this too.
You must be young, they must've seen you're inexperienced and excited, you must've gone alone while signing... they're putting you in pressure. My opinion. |

+1 This is good advice. If you end up going to court keep this in mind, along with your contract (which they wrote up) showing the $1000 cash as part of the agreement. Also express why 3 months later this is all of sudden turning up? This will show how un-organized they are and how it is very possible they screwed up the paperworks and anything else for that matter. Good luck man!
