A: You may have legal options if you were overcharged based on misleading information. Start by reviewing all the paperwork from the purchase, especially the buyer's order, financing terms, and any documents that show the vehicle's price or MSRP. Compare the price you paid to the actual MSRP listed for the car model.

If you believe the dealership misrepresented the MSRP or pressured you into paying more, you could potentially pursue action under consumer protection laws. It may help to gather any evidence that shows how they presented the vehicle’s price to you.

Consider contacting the dealership to explain the situation and see if they will correct the issue. If that doesn’t work, filing a complaint with your state's attorney general’s office or a consumer protection agency might be an option. They can often investigate cases like this and assist you in resolving disputes.
