Toyota did the SAME thing to me! We got a lawyer and are still dealing with this holy mess, but we're the ones coming ahead! Our lawyer told us this is common with dealerships and they are constantly being sued! DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING ELSE!!! Do not even speak to them on the phone, contact a lawyer and deal with them through the lawyer!They need to stick to your original agreement! if they let you off the lot with one agreement WITH the car, and then discovered you were a higher risk loan (or whatever the problem is) they cannot make you pay more that was their mistake.
I really hope you get a lawyer, we did and it's been the best decision we ever made!

Consider it a lesson learned. You need to sign all the paperwork before you drive the car out of the lot. Dealerships are evil and not there to help you almost 98% of the time. I would give the car back and buy elsewhere. I wouldn't put up with the bait and switch they are doing. I'm sure you can find another dealership that sells Toyotas without a problem. Let it be their loss.

They have total right to do this. The bank that they thought was going to give you a certain rate probably fell through so they had to go with a higher rate. By doing that the payments have changed. You do not have to sign the new contract but then you do not own the car. If you do not own the car then you have to turn it in. The price did not change more then likely. Check old paperwork and new.

this is a good question to contact a lawyer...you can call most for free....now let me tell you the little that i do now...if you already signed papers 3 weeks ago with that down payment and those set monthly payments i am thinking that they are in the wrong...but if you did not sign any agreement papers and they allowed you to take the car home then you may have to give the car back...car dealerships do this all the time....they get you to put down what you have...and they tell you to take the car home and they will work on getting you approved for that amount and those payments...and as you are falling in love with that new car...they call and say...well we tried but we couldnt do it for that...but if you pay more.......and so on...i just have not heard of them doing this for 3 weeks....but good luck to you anyways...

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING! Next time they call, stick to your new battlecry: "I have a contract!"
They want you to sign a new contract because they screwed up. Plain and simple. Don't do it.
Hopefully you traded in your car when you got your new one. They can try to demand the car back. In that case, your old car is probably resold or sent off to auction already. So, demand your car back if the deal is off. THEN, threaten to bring in your lawyer. At that point, you are standing very strong.
I know someone who did this. It worked. The person was actually later offered a job managing the car dealership. Pretty weird, huh?

bought as seen ability no longer something. you have protection under the sale of goods act and your statutory rights. the only word that could impact you is "bought as scrap". The motor vehicle must be in effective condition for the objective for which it replaced into offered. If it replaced right into a dealer, then you definately've guarantee, deliver him a letter ASAP, giving him 14 days to treatment the fault, or you will require an entire refund. If he would not comply with fix it, then bypass to the small claims court docket. The case would be desperate in keeping with if the fault on the motor vehicle is something that would generally be coated as a guaranty merchandise, and that i could recommend that an oil leak on the engine falls into this class. sturdy success, and don't panic!

BWWWWAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAA.. The old bait and switch routine works again. Suck hind teat, dude. You have been had. They work this schemo about 12 times a day and laugh all the way to the tavern about the trembling fools they have suckered into their endless trickery. This is only the start of it, dude. Your life (and credit) have just become ruined forever. You will spend the rest of your life paying money to them, living in hovels and eating from dumpsters.
BWWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA. Give it up to them, dude. Whatever they want, give it to them. You will be forced to anyhow and just going ahead and giving it up will save you a lot of legal fees for lost lawsuits and mental stress as well.
Too bad, dude. You probably would have amounted to something someday. But that is now impossible.
Just be careful that you dont do anything that sets you up for criminal charges. They will punish you badly for that and you STILL will owe them most of your income for the next 40 years, if you live that long.
Have a nice day, dude.

Whatever you do, don't sign anything else, and you definately need to consult legal advise. Tell them to suck your big toe in the meantime.
