Our dealership has a policy in place for certain vehicles because of their level of desire by consumers. The famil;y did come onto the lot and requested a test drive comparison of the Subaru WRX and the Volkswagen Golf R. Both considered to be highline sportscars. Consumers like to acquire these vehicles with as little mileage as possible. The salesperson received approval from the sales manager for the test drives at which time the son said he had already been in the WRX and only wanted to demo the Golf R. The salesperson completed the test drive and answered all questions. The family left without asking how much the vehicle would cost, any financing options, or any thing else that would lead to a possible sale.

Yes there was a clerical error which was not caught by either the dealership representative or the customer. It came to light when we reached out to the customer to collect a $2,000 down payment which he claimed he did not owe, but was on his sales contract which he signed. The Finance Director researched the deal and discussed it with the customer. In the end, the customer was provided a re-contracted deal with out the $2,000 down payment.

BCB responded

I, the customer acknowledged signing a contract with a down payment stated, as with my initial comment, during the review of the contract with Luis, I corrected his use of the term “Down payment” to “trade in” to which Luis replied “correct”. At that point my perception is that there is NO down payment. The clerical error only came to light due to my vigorous rebuttal of me providing a $2K payment via the phone. The dealership’s reply does not address the other issues, namely the gone missing signed offer sheet. Given the options of providing $2K for the down payment, recontracting without the down payment or going to court I choose to re contract. I seriously considered the court option, yet since my best piece of evidence, the signed offer sheet mysteriously vanished, I felt my chances were slim.

These documents are only signed after the customer acknowledges that they are correct. Please feel free to call Don Elliott, our Customer Service Manager at (760) 804-5038 if you have any questions.
