Dealer Scam? Need advise.

FuszNissan

Maybe I should choose my words better. It's not a very common thing, but yes over 20 years of this, I have seen it many times.

It does happen here and there, now I don't know if he paid or not, but I have seen an F&I manager forget to collect a deposit. Which we call the customer and they recall and pay.

Just becuase it's noted on the bank contract doesn't mean it has been collected.

I agree it will be up to the dealer to prove it, but there is no receipt of transaction. Know will a contract count, I don't know I am not a lawyer or Judge.

Does the op have proof he paid, nope. So which side do you choose.

I am not trying to stir it up, I am just saying I have seen it both ways.

I think this is a simple situation that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich should clear up nicely.

Now that I think about it, when I put 10,000 cash down on mine, I can't for the life of me remember if I got a reciept at the time. That would suuuuck if they called foul on that amount..lol!

When I bought my car, I put 7k (or 9k) down. I had a large amount of it in cash, and the rest I put on my debit card. The told me that I had 14 days to give the whole amount, if I needed. The contract shows the down payment, the receipt shows the proof it's paid.

I got 2 receipts, one for the cash...one for the debit.

I hope it doesn't end up being an expensive lesson, but you really should always get a receipt. It become even more important when it's cash, as there is no transaction recorded anywhere else.
