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.

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

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

ohnoimcaught · 07-19-2013, 02:13 PM

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.
