"If you sign a computer generated contract and letter discover mathematical error's that would not have been readily apparent just by reading the contract, do you have any legal standing to force the seller to correct the math error?"

Maybe. You should take your contract to a local attorney for review, as that is beyond the scope of this forum.

The answer to that is a big maybe. You would really need a local lawyer to read the entire contract to determine if you had any recourse. I can imagine some scenarios where it would be possible to get a contract corrected and other scenarios where it would not be possible.

Thank you Zigner and LdiJ for your helpful comments. I assumed I would need a local lawyer for detailed help but I was really just looking to get a feel for if there was any chance or if this was just a "don't waste you time and money - definite no".
I am usually very meticulous in reading legal documents, one never assumes that the computer can make a basic math error. I've purchased many automobiles in my life and never come across this kind of mess before.
