And they still found a way to act like it was all just "temporary" paperwork.

The first call was straight from the scammers playbook. "Hello Mr. Smith, how are you today? Good good, hey we just need you to come down to the dealership and finalize some paperwork so we can get this deal completed".

I had already had the car for a week!! As far as I was concerned the deal was done, what else could there be? When I asked he then said "Well, your financing fell through, and we couldnt get you approved for the loan you wanted. But dont worry we have another excellent loan from another bank for just 1% more than your previous".

My face instantly turned red and I was fuming. I said "Well I am really disappointed to hear that. I am going to seek legal council before further contact". I then hit the internet, my lawyer contact, and grabbed all the paperwork I had signed. Sure enough they had me, minus the fact that there was some flaws in the paperwork voiding the whole thing. It turns out I dont have to agree to a change in interest rate of course, so they were basically withdrawing their offer, rather than me having to break it.

I didnt even bother trying to get another loan because I was so pissed. They then knocked off another 2k or so from the selling price to get me back to my original payment figure, but I said no deal, because I didnt trust them with my signature anymore. Kinda sucks because I walked away from the car, but I was honestly too scared to give them 1 penny at that point. I got my deposit back and left.
