I signed the contract saying I made payment. They were just idiots and did a sloppy job with the whole transaction. Now they are constantly bothering me. The original payment was with a bank check, not a personal check. They are now asking what bank I got it from and who it was address to. I obviously keep the check. I am just wondering can I get in trouble? Even with all paper signed?

I must mention, they were reall *******. I also traded in the car and I almost walked out with the keys to my old car until I brought it to their attention. Both the dealership and I signed the receipt of payment made. I usually would not try to be sneaky like this but they were real jerks

If you keep the money you are a thief. Mistakes happen. What if you were the seller? Do what is right. Why would you tell all the people here that? Certainly makes you look bad and to not be a very nice person. When you signed the contract that money became theirs regardless if it was still in your pocket. It Is no differnet than if you took it out of the cash box. You will never get away with this, it can only cause you more harm than you have already done to yourself. Do what is right.

I would give them the money, but make sure to let them know that you will be telling everybody that you know how crappy they are. I would write a letter to the dealership owner and let them know also. If they are doing business this way all of the time, then eventually they will ALL be out of a job, not just the one guy who screwed up. I would let the higher-ups know so that they can correct the problem (more training etc) and start doing business the right way.

MM>. I think you are still responsible for the money. I also think that they can sue you for it. The signed contract states what amount you will finance ( less any discounts and downpayments) and is not a receipt of an downpayment. So unless you have a seperate receipt strictly stating they received the down payment you are still on the hook for it.

Someone will get fired over it if you keep it.
If you can live with some poor guy's kids going Hungry because of a silly mistake on his part, then go for it

Yes, just because they signed it doesn't mean that you don't owe it.
If you don't give them the check, they can repo the car and screw up your credit - they have all of the angles in this one.

just pay it - you were going to before so why not just be honest and save yourself the trouble of fighting for a lie
