Dealer Scam? Need advise.

Man that sucks, do what fullmonty says and take your paperwork down and see if you can straighten it out. It's been like three months, they are probably idiots, maybe they lost their own paperwork who knows. If it doesn't go well, then show up in court and fight it, it's your word against theirs. Why would the dealer let you have the car in the first place if they didn't take your 1k cash at signing? Doesn't make sense. Finally, let us know what dealer it is so others don't have to go through the same nightmare.

+1 This is good advice. If you end up going to court keep this in mind, along with your contract (which they wrote up) showing the $1000 cash as part of the agreement. Also express why 3 months later this is all of sudden turning up? This will show how un-organized they are and how it is very possible they screwed up the paperworks and anything else for that matter. Good luck man!

Yes. If this were a run-of-the mill "in the excitement we forgot to get his down payment" situation, the OP would have received a call from the dealership the next day saying "oops". The paper trail would have started there. The fact that it started 3 months later is suspect
