I recently bought an 02 WRX for 9000 (about 9920 after taxes, title, etc)
I took out a loan for 5000.
I put $500 down the first night.
I gave the check for $5000 to the dealership and so at that point i had already paid them $5500.
I then asked them how much I owed them, they did the math, made a mistake, and told me that I owed them 3920 when i really owed them $4420.
I gave them the check for 3920 and they proceeded to give me a bill of sale that stated the complete purchase of the vehicle was finished and that it was "paid in full"
Now they have been calling and placing what seem to be empty threats about not transfering my plates until I pay them the 500, when in reality i didnt even get a plate transfer. I bought new plates. It seems that they are just stretching and reaching out for reasons that I should have to pay them when it was their mistake in the first place.
Once again, I have a bill of sale that states my car was paid in full.
Would I be required by law to pay this $500, or is there a way around it. I would rather take advantage of their mistake, than pay for something that there may be a way around.
Thanks in advance for any help!
