Q: Do car dealerships have to sell a car at the price they advertised it ?
I went to Dallas from Oklahoma expecting to buy a car that was advertised at a price that was going to work for me. When I got there the sales
person said he couldn't sell it at that price. I said why didn't you tell me that before I drove 2 hours to see it ? He made up some story about 3 party deals they can't do. Anyway, we came up with a price and then on the paperwork they worked the figures to show that I was going to paying much more! They didn't go over the paperwork with me as it was almost 9 pm and at that point I was over exhausted and they didn't bother to go over anything but I did see the figure we agreed on and the amount they gave me for my trade. They didn't show the 5K I put down as a down payment on the paperwork but was told it would show up on a later document! I didn't realize they had done this till I got my bill from the bank to make the payment! It showed what the payoff would be and I about fainted. Can I get an attorney and fight this?
A: Due to this being purchased in Texas you will need to post this in the Texas area because the attorney will need to be licensed in Texas in order to give you legal advice on this.
