Dealership messed up the paperwork
 

Had the wrong vin number and now they cant send it to the banks.

i already have the car

wot to do?

brb

LAWLS, Kinda not your problem. They need to fix it ASAP.

Exactly. I am sure this is not the first time this has happened for the dealer. Call them up and tell them to fix it.

Constantly badger the dealer its there issue with the screw up not really yours, or just copy down the vin number send it to the dealer and tell them to take it to the bank.:thumbsup:

its not me that messed up its them

they want me to resign paperwork

duh we all said it was their fault. go resign.

Sign the corrected paper work. What's the problem?

Just go re-sign it then whats the big deal?:iono:

when you go resign make sure you read everything all over again. make sure they didn't increase some costs or new terms here and there.

OR...
since you already have the car you can just stop responding to the dealer. lol. let them pay for your car :p (kidding... sort of...)

This. This is a known bait and switch tactic that dealers do to milk you for money. Make sure the OTD price is the exact same and all the finance terms and amounts are the same. If they are not, don't sign anything.

you can probably cancel the contract and drive the heck out of the car and then give it back to them without losing money. They gave you a car that was not signed properly which in that case, the contract is void. At least i think that's how it works

Legally yes, but in most states there would consequences, IE Grand Theft after your contract was considered void.

Depends on the contract. Most dealers that I have bought a car from have a clause in the contract that states that if the contract is not accurate or terms change within a specific time period, you are obligated to sign new paperwork.

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.

Assume it's just a clerical error, honestly. I work at a Toyota store, it happens with Camrys atleast once a month. Go in, check to make sure all your terms are the same, and sign. There is nothing nefarious going on, IMO. The old ways of the car business are dying, slowly, but dying.

good night sweet prince

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.

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 ;):thumbup:

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.

i signed the papers

same numbers
