Deceptive practices were used when originally getting into lease and the vehicle was supposed to be new, was sitting on the showroom floor and when when looked at the mileage after leasing the vehicle it had over 4700 miles on it. Someone please help.

Your Lease contract should have starting & ending mileage printed on it.
Also your odometer statement should have the actual mileage printed on it when you took delivery.
You should have been given copies of all documents when you took delivery.
If you failed to read the documents before signing, that would not be considered deceptive.
If the documents had BLANK spots & were filled in later, that would be considered deceptive, and there is your 'loophole'
Please review your documents. If all the documents & all the lines are filled in accurately as to the actual mileage, & your signature is on those documents, then there was no deception,
only your own failure to read.
If there is discrepancies, then you should contact the Better Business Br.
Some states & dealers require you to sign an 'Arbitration Agreement' If you did , you should 1st contact arbitration board.

It could have easily been sold/leased as a new demo, the only thing I'd be concerned about is the starting mileage on the lease. If the lease started at 4,700 miles, and you have 12-15k miles a year, your ending lease mileage will be 4,700 higher than if it had 5-10 miles.
Check your lease contract - the mileage section is blow the Federal disclosure box giving all of the payment and gross capital cost information.
You signed the contract with this information written on it, so if it starts at 4,700 miles, you have no recourse. If they show a very low lease starting mileage, and the odometer statement doesn't match, you're losing 4,700 miles out of your lease, and I'd be standing on the F&I person's or sales manager's desk until it got straightened out.
Feel free to contact me - the main points I'd like to know is how long ago did you lease the vehicle, and what are the mileage figures listed on the lease contract and odometer statement.

Only if your contract paperwork (that you signed) shows that the mileage on the vehicle was 0. But how long ago did you lease the car? If it was a while ago, why are you just bringing this issue up now?

Take it to the hood, leave the key in it, and come back in a few hours....report it stolen the next day
