i'd get paid in cash in a heart beat, however, i rarely PAY in cash, unless i'm avoiding some kind of credit fees, or the person isn't charging me sales tax. Tires, i buy in cash. Cars and Real estate, get a certified check so you have a paper trail. however, the fact that they released the car to you, and you signed all the paper work, implies that you paid what it said on the paper work, and the burdon should fall upon them to prove otherwise. If i had a store, and one of my employees forgot to collect the money from the customer and didn't realize until a long time after, you had better believe its coming out of the employees pay. Sounds like the financing manager is an as$clown.

I'm sure it happens but what makes you think that the dealer asked to bring in cash knowingly... I didn't mention this in the OP but now I think about it I think they pulled a fast one on me.

It's not dumb of you( you trusted the company to handle the transaction properly), I didn't know all the facts, just stating the different scenarios. |

I checked 4 times what it stated on the contract and kept it in a safe place. Quote:

Also Google around for that dealership on reviews, maybe they've tried this before too.
(I got a lot of results for yo-yo scams for my dealership, before I bought from them) |

Holy crap! I didn't realize it until now but my dealer did this to me . They called me a week later and said that the loan was "only pre-approved" and that the terms have changed. Obviously, my reaction to the guy on the phone was "WTF?!" (literally). I went through they're finance department to get the loan, and I was happy with the results. But they called back and gave me some BS. I simply replied "that's BS I have excellent credit, I'm sure I can find an even better rate myself, give me a few days I'll call you back with a new lender." I got a call back a few hours later from the same guy saying " ok the lender has approved your current loan, nothing has changed, no need to re-sign anything". Wow, you learn something new every day!

I believe the dealer is on this one. They would have to prove you did not give them the $1,000. As stated earlier the dealer should not of let the vehicle go w/o a signature for a note showing the $1,000 to be paid at a later date. The dealer giving you the vehicle confirmed the transaction was complete. If you were trying to return the item then I would say the burden would be on you. A lawyer should be able to tell you the laws regarding this type dispute. This dispute has happened before & will happen again in the future & there will be case law on it.
Good Luck. |

Do you have a bank reciept showing a withdrawl of 1,000. cash? ATM or otherwise? I realize money is money, but since the amount is not that large, have you considered just paying it to clear your credit?! Have a written letter from them that it was paid in full. Then turn around and sue them in small claims, only after the issues cleared on your credit. |

That doesn't sound like a bad idea... But what guarantees do I have if any that I will see that 1000 again. Plus doesn't that make me more of a "suspect" if I willingly pay them?

I really believe that your auto purchase contract/finance document is a legal and binding document that will stand up in court (or arbitration if required). I believe that there is a requirement called the "One Document" rule governing a new car purchase. If the document shows a down payment, then the dealership will have a difficult time proving otherwise. There is an attorney in SoCal that specializes in these auto fraud and dispute cases. His name is Hal Rosner, of Rosner, Barry & Babbitt. The phone number is (800) 466-5366. By the way, I believe that Rosner answers auto dispute/fraud related questions for free on a website called UCAN.org.
