Hey guys,
So heres my story. Last week I went into my local ford dealership to look into trading my 2006 Mountaineer for a new, more fuel effciant vehicle. Long story short I ended up getting a decent offer on my Mountaineer, so I ended up leasing a new Focus. Couldn't of been happier with the vehicle, and the deal. Well, until the next day that is. One day after signing all of the paperwork, and agreeing on a price of 251 a month, for a 24 month lease I got a call from my salesman. He explained to me that there had been a mistake on the paperwork and that Id be looking at a higher payment than orignally expected, about 20 bucks more a month. I asked him why and he said that I was put under the wrong discount plan. He said that I was put under the A plan when I should've been put under the Z plan. Still wasn't happy, but I guess mistakes happen. Before signing any paperwork I wanted to do a little research. I contacted the person who got me the discount and he told me that they were both the same discount. A- Current working Ford employee, Z- Retired Ford employee. I then went to look on my paperwork to see where it said A plan, nothing. It actually said Z plan in more than one spot on my paperwork. I questioned the saleman the next day when he called back. "So your telling me that I was put under the wrong discount" salesman- "Well yes... and no". Thinking to myself... well it has to be one or the other, you did or you didn't. He then went on to tell me how the paperwork was all messed up and that they even put me under the wrong vehicle, he said the Vin# they wrote me up for was completley different than the car I was driving. Questioning him again, I checked my paperwork. My vin# and everything match up with the Vin# on my vehicle to a tee. At this point I was completley irrated. He called me back soon after and said that they would have to "take back the vehicle" if I didn't come and resign the new paper work. I then called him out on his lies, wrong plan and wrong vin #, of course he just kinda avoided it. He also threanted to not pay off my trade in, which still hasn't been paid off yet. Its been over a week. Anyway, I guess my question is has anyone ever had this kind've experience? Can Ford void my lease contract? My guess is no, since everything has been signed and the deal is done. I called Ford, and of course they were no help whatsoever. They told me that each dealership is independently owned, and they could not do anything. Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreaciated.
