All I can say it I'm so sad..Went to the dealer yesterday, Spent two hours there for them to tell me they F'D up.. They come over and tell me I told them the wrong pay off amount on my G35X-S. Yea right I told them what it was and when it was good till. So needless to day they had some seriouos wrong numbers and I did not an will not get the my G37X Coupe
.. Thye were off by 6600!!!!! Can you say someone is getting canned..OH BTW this was after they sent a tow truck to pick up my trade( On Friday), gave us the keys, swapped our plates and we moved all of our stuff in the coupe.. I sad day..

 

do you have the paper work?

 

Crazy mix up.

 

If you have the paperwork it should show you everything you need...if they are dating something different than what's on the paperwork then you've got your coupe back but if you just gt it wrong and the numbers they're saying are on the paperwork then you're kind of SOL

GL on getting it resolved, I hope you get your coupe!!

 

Damn that sucks

 

i dont get how they can give you a car and then take it back.

 

Don't let them do it to you. Its a scam that a lot of dealers here in SD are trying to pull. Raise hell and tell them that even though its their mistake, its already on the contract, which they have to honor. They tried to do that to my brother in law. He raised hell and in the end they honored what was on the contract. Another friend just gave the car back and went to a different dealer. When they gave the car back, the dealer really didnt want to take it back because they already used it for a week and technically the car is already used.

 

Reminds me of Clark Griswold and how he ended up being forced to buy the WAGON QUEEN FAMILY TRUCKSTER after the dealer did this to his current car.

 

Yea I hear you guys, but there was no paper work in was all verbal over the phone. they had appraised my trade( G35X-S) and the eclipse, They FN towed my Eclipse to there dealership on Friday am..I really just think the F'd up bad got some crazy numbers from somewhere, who the hell no where tho? I really wanted the coupe, feel in love with it over the last few days and couldnt wait till I picked it up,,Well I'm asking them to install my clutch on the Eclipse instade of towing in back to me.. I wuld raise hell and get it for what they offered if we had it in writing, But I have a good relasonship with this dealer and would not want to ruin that, Mistakes happen it just SUX..

 

The Griswold reference is LOL My favorite movies..

 

Ugh, sorry to hear that it all went pear shaped. I can't quite tell if they scammed you with some fake numbers or if someone just made 2 + 2 = 5, but either way if you're going to get a G37 I'd go to someone else now IMO.

Hope it all works out, regardless if you decide to keep your old car(s) (sounds like you have two, a G35 & a Mitsubishi Eclipse?) or go for a G37.

Addendum: I think they are trying to scam you, now that I read your OP again. It's not exactly hard for them to look up the pay off on the thing on their own, if you give them permission to do so. Yeah, I'd avoid that dealership from now on personally if you don't mind me making the comment.

 

yeah it's pretty common scam that is overlooked, and if i had to guess, it would be the #1 sale scam dealerships do, just google it, u'll find a ton of posts from all sorts of dealership experiences..

 

The more I thinkg about it the more a think it was a scam, I want to say it was a mistake cause the dealer has been good to us before. But the sales manager that butchered this has only been there three months, An probally not much longer.. LOL, My wife keep saying WTF why did they wait till we were there to look at the pay off!!! Which I know I told them cause I thought it would be HARD to get us where we wanted to be with a 34k pay out in the G35X-S lease we have now???? I honestly thought they we discoing their car a bunch cause of a left over 09 and over paying on both our trades a little to just to movet the car. Also with the number of times they called me back(5) I thought they would have had all the ducks in a row and read to go.. Then on top of all that making us wait like 2 hours swap our plates and all our belongs over to the new car is just F'D.. I think now they did all that on purpose in hopes we would cave and say lets do it anyway.. LOL Not us, We all push the dealer never the over way around. .. Lets see who calls me today and how they try to explain this one,, I'm expecting the GM to call. That would be the professonal thing to do, IMO.

 

Oh some more thinking isnt a verbal contract binding,., We gave them a deposite of $600 and they took delierey of our trade, isnt that enought to fight them and say hey you guys took a deposite and delievery of a trade for a deal = X amount and that you have to honor.. That is just like me signing a paper no?? A know a verbal contract will hold up in court, Plus a have emails going to my wife on what they said.. They also told her the same thing when we gave them the $600.. They have to honor the deal.. They should eat the mistake.. Right?

 

I'm not a lawyer, so I'm just commenting. Please don't take this as legal advice at all.

I guess to me it comes down to do you WANT to do business with a place that either a) Deliberatly scammed you or b) Has a manager inept enough to make a $6600.00 mistake on a pay off amount.

Maybe I've just gotten suspcious in my (somewhat) old age (is 42 old? ) but even if he's only been on the job for 3 months and this is his first time as a sales manager anywhere, he'd still know what to do. He would have seen his boss check figures, and he's had 3 months of other deals done with (presumably) no issues. Why I keep thinking "scam" with this. That and I've seen businesses that were honest become quite dishonest, either when they were starting to go bankrupt, or during a bad economy (or both). A store I did a LOT of shopping with online for computer parts was a very good store for the 5 years I did business with them..but then they turned into the worst place on the planet for the last year they were in business before they went bankrupt. I'm for the people that did lose jobs and so forth, but they became VERY willing to scam people and lie when hit with bad times for them financially too.

Now DID your dealership scam you? Not sure. Do I think there's a good chance they did? Ayep.

Anyway, regardless of what you decide is the best course, I'd at least kick around hiring a lawyer. Some would depend on how they are acting also. Do they seem apolgeitc, offering if you do want to back out to do everything in their power to get the trade in(s) back to you in the same shape you sent them? And make sure it shows legally they are your car(s), not theirs? Or are they just saying "Dude, deal...now where's the $6600.00 or how will you finance the extra?" Their attitude toward trying to fix things would tell me a lot too if I was in your shoes.

Anyway, I hope it works out. I truly would try to back out of all of it now and go somewhere else, but regardless I do feel for you and hope it all comes out well.
