I traded in my newer low mileage SUV for a more economical car. Now heres the sticky situation: I still owed money on the SUV so I negotiated with the salesman on the trade-in value and the agreed to pay $2000.00 less than what I owe and then carry over the additional to my new contract. So we made the contract and left with the used eco-friendly car. Everyday for three and a half weeks I checked the financial statement of the SUV and it was not paid! So I contacted the dealership and they told me that I had to make the payments on the SUV while they were getting all the financial stuff situated and they would pro-rate it. Then, they called us in to make a new contract because too much time elapsed before a financial company picked us up....okay we go in sign a new contract.....a week later I check the financial statement for the SUV and it still has not been paid off and I'm getting ready to make yet ANOTHER payment.....I get another call from the car dealership saying that we need to sign a new contract again because the financial company wants to change the terms of the loan...so I am now concerned that we are just getting kicked around and if what they are doing is legal. When I spoke to the contract guy at the dealership and asked if we can just get our SUV back because this whole thing is ridiculous he stated the contract is binding so the answer is no. Now if the contract is binding what gives them the right to keep changing the terms that we originally signed for and what would happen if we refuse to sign the third contract.

Thanks for all your help!
 
Pay a local attorney to negate the contract and get the old SUV back, or at least your money back. Car dealers are not all bad but they can confuse people by using confusion tactics to change contract stipulations. DO NOT SIGN THE NEW CONTRACT!
See an attorney ASAP!
