I went to Auto max of Melbourne to trade in a car that was fully paid off so that I could get a car a little bit roomier because I had a baby a few months prior. I explained to them that I am on a budget I would like an even trade or something that is not going to be too much over.
They eventually showed me a 2006 Suzuki Forenza which they told me the price was $8000 and some change and with my trade in the car would end up being $3775 worth in payments, so I signed on the dotted line and thats what we agreed upon. They asked me what monthly payments I could afford and i said no higher than $180 per month so they said done and thats also what i signed.
To summarize They have the bank call me for approval and I asked the bank told me a much higher amount financed so I asked the person well how much is the dealership saying they sold me the car for. The person said $12,000! Now, I'm already driving the car already registered it and everything and they have my trade in. I told the person no that is not what was agreed upon. Pretty much the bank did not want to help me and directed me to speak with the finance department at automax. I spoke with him and he told me that yes he told the bank $12,000 but he oesnt see what the problem is because i'm only financing $7000. I said to him thats not what we agreed upon. He pretty much gave me the run around.
Now, I am stuck with a car payment double per month what i agreed upon in the first place for the next 2 years, I regret doing business with them and I do not see how this is legal!!! I just want to be paying what I agreed to pay!

Update on what the contract said
AUTHOR: Jae - (U.S.A.)

Yes, I did look over the sales contract and it the price that it says for being left over is $3775 not $6990, not $7000, not $12,000 either. As a matter of fact $12,000 isn't anywhere in any papers that I signed so the answer is no I did not leave a dealership without knowing what I was "suppose" to be paying but the bank that we're dealing with here I guess does not require too much evidence from the dealship to find out if what they are saying is true which to me is not fair or just to the customer.

What does your sale contract say?

Here in California Pull out your copy of the sale contract and go over it. It should show the sale price, any down payment or trade-in value and the final price.
Granted, my current car sale contract was written in California, but there are ten places on the document that I had to sign. If your story is true, then I find it amazing that someone can go to an auto dealership and arrange financing through a bank without knowing the total cost of the car.
Hell, you were able to insure the car, drive off the lot and the dealer registered it and you didn't know what you were paying?
On your sale contract, does it say $12,000 or $3775?
