So before you call lawyers, and threaten lawsuits and attorney general involvement, and all that: have you actually talked to them about it?
Conclusion of the story: After calling the sales guy for the day, and him not picking up, I decided to drive my happy ass to pasadena to see if he's there. Sure enough he is. I walk in there and wave the guy over not trying to let the pulsating vein on my forehead explode . I say, we had a deal for 10,900 and he's no joke, I think I got brain damage because I air ventilator in my restroom is broken and there's mold. Trying not to reach across the desk and strangle this prick. He then says, I'll ask the sales manager and see what I can do. 10 minutes passes. He says, "it was almost a fight, but I took care of it." Here comes some BS excuse: It was really busy Saturday and the sales system and finance systems were overloaded. He leaves for a minute and comes back and says: We have no record of 10,900 on our system. You could be pulling a fast one on us and we'd never know. I asked what about the pieces of paper we signed saying 10,900. He then says Saturday is so long ago that he doesn't remember. Finally, the finance guy walks over to me with new paperwork and brings me a new accurate contract and we take care of it from there. NEVER EVA again will I do business with Champion.
Glad you got it fixed. Moral of the story... never let any sales guy/mortgage guy/etc. hurry you through any documentation that will put a major dent in your wallet.
it seems to me you got lucky if you already signed. they could have been d*cks and said "you signed it and it's your problem if you didn't read the details of the contract prior to signing". and, it would have been your fault for not at least skimming over the paperwork to ensure that at least the numbers were right. reminds me of the people signing bad mortgages. you know half of them didn't skim over or read jack sh_t. they just signed based on the verbal words of somebody looking to get someone in another bad loan. they were just all excited about getting in a home (they couldn't afford). just sign here...here...here...here...here. congratulations! three years later...DOH! i'm not implying you are one of these people but, please, never sign anything based on trusting somebody else's word...especially a fracking car dealership...to do the right thing. lesson learned. they could write numbers all day long on pieces of paper...and it means jack if the contract doesn't have those numbers. the dealership can't be all that bad if they corrected it. what would your case against them be? uh...i didn't look at the contract and just signed it. fail.
Probably not. Go talk to the dealer first. If he balks, tell me you think this is a fraud, and general attorney's office is one phone call away. Do you have a witness? Last thing, though, don't drive that car home. I assume you haven't because you haven't paid. All in all, I don't think this is a big deal.
Signature means squat, if you can back up the story. Contract mistakes happen all the time. Courts are willing to entertain circumstantial evidence.
Uhhhh... how about reading the ENTIRE thread? He updated it already. Good work, pradaxpimp, sir. And, please, skip less lines in your signature, sir... it takes us 3 years to scroll through pages with your responses...
