Ok. I just got an Infiniti JX, was very excited, took my car in today for the "Ultracoat protection" application(I know. Not worth the money but worth it if you consider the wife's peace of mind). Drop it of, get the loaner, come back, then get a call from the dealer saying the trade in is not worth what they thought it was worth and that I should pay another 3000 or take my trade back. It seems they are willing to unwind the deal completely(at least over the phone) and say that I misrepresented my trade in. I told them it did not have any problems to my knowledge and that is true. Now they say it needs some expensive repairs(who knows), has been parked for a long time(not true), and has never been serviced by an authorized Jaguar dealer(not true, all services were always done at Jaguar dealerships). long story short, they say they will take the car back and I will get my trade back in the same condition I left it(probably true considering it has only been 3 days).
1. Is this even legal?
2. I read all these horror stories about dealerships screwing people over and would very much prefer not to be in one. With that in mind, what else can go wrong?
3. What kind of paperwork do I need to not get into any legal/financial trouble later(bank wants money, dealership still wants money etc)
4. Any other advice would be appreciated.
I did think about going to a lawyer but it is friday evening and I would rather not have this thing hanging over me any longer than I have to. I am going to the dealership soon and will update the post with the further adventures of my car buying attempt. If there are problems with the unwinding, or they try something else underhanded, I'll update with names...
