I think I bought a new car, maybe not
I have been looking for a new car for my wife for a week or so. She had decieded that she wanted a Ford Fuzion Hybrid. We looked at a few, but none of the ford dealer's wanted to deal on the hybrid's. So I figured I'd just wait awhile. Then we dropped in at the Mercury dealer and they wanted to sell a car. They didn't have a hybrid on the lot so they had one driven from one of their other lots about 30 miles away. It was loaded and listed for $34,325. We told the salesman that we didn't have to have anything today, but he said he would make us a good deal. Came back and said he would sell it at invoice, $29,800, I said fine. I did notice though that the list price on his paperwork for the car was around $32,000 something,
I didn't think much about the difference in the sticker price on the car and the price on the paperwork at the time. I figured they just bumped it up some.
I got home and was looking everything over and realized that the vin number on my receit does not match the car. I think that the other lot sent the wrong paperwork over and I was quoted for a different car. Also when they were going over the car with us, they called for the key code number to open the door and it wouldn't work. They had to pull the number from the computer and it was different from what they sent. I didn't think much about it at the time, but it goes with them mixing the cars up.
So now I have to get this worked out on Monday. They said this is the only hybrid they had left so I wonder if someone else ended up with the title to this car.
I can't imagine them not honoring the deal, but I won't pay another nickle just on principle.
