Dealership messed up the paperwork

Check to make sure the new contract has the same terms (APR, loan term, etc) before signing it. This is similar to a common, fishy dealer tactic.

The OP should just look at his contract (they gave him a copy) and then check his VIN. If the VIN's on the paperwork and the car match, there is no reason to do anything. If they don't match, he needs to go down and sign new paperwork with the accurate VIN and then make sure none of the other terms or conditions have changed.

Aha makes sense. I once bought a 2013 Lancer, or so I thought I did. The dealership did a spot dealing for me, thinking that everything would be "A ok" for them. The thing was, i didn't put any down payment, I was 19 years old with only excellent credit to show for lol the banks said no, and they wanted 2 grand down, and I said no lol so i gave the car back and lost nothing. Put 1700 miles on it in a month, going to vegas and etc. I was thinking this might be the same but didn't know that was on certain contracts (im thinking most if not all) lol thanks for teaching me

Happened to me, dealer was so embarrass they did the tint for free which had to be special order. Car was identical but different vin number. Just had to go back to dealer and saved 156 dollars and free labor. Well worth 10 minutes of my time.

Same thing with me. Go back and resign new papers. Read carefully and keep the old contract as well.

As long as they are not trying to charge you money, whats the big deal? Next step is the bank cancelling the loan you may have and the dealer reporting your car as being stolen. Then you can have some real fun with paperwork, especially trying to get a bank to loan you money for a car. Thinking that you can somehow just gaff this off and have a free car is an interesting POV.

Don't worry about it. This type of thing happens a lot. The finance guy probably screwed up. They can resubmit the paperwork, just let them know.

When i bought my car, I was given an interest rate of 10.89%. Some paperwork was filled incorrectly. I raised hell. Told them that it was super unprofessional and i didnt want to deal with them. I acted as i was going to return the car and purchase it else where (never was going to happen). So at the end they refinanced me the car at 4.24%.

Saved me 6k in finance charges ftw

This happened with our Harley...they wrote the VIN down wrong and didn't realize until they submitted the registration. If the contracts match there is no reason not to sign the new one, they just need your signature as it's the one piece of info they can't simply copy over from the old contract.These types of shit mistakes are the reasons I like to make these kind of purchases on a weekday, it cuts out any "mistake" time since they send a runner or use the online system in real-time.
