What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? LA
Sept. 3, hubby and I traded in our car for another used car.
We put a 2k deposit down as that is approximately what we were upside down on our old car after trade-in.
We took possession of the "new" used car.
We didnt even get a mile down the road before the car started to over heat. We stopped at a gas station we were at this gas station for over an hour waiting for the car to cool off enough to add the water many many times.
Hubby works on cars and was able to diagnose the problem as to one of the cooling fans not working. Hubby bought a new fan at Auto zone and installed it, and havent had any issues since.
On Sept. 25 I checked to see if Our car had been paid off and it hadnt been, I called the dealership to find out why and to get it paid. They claimed we never gave them the down payment. We did in cash. I think they knew the car was having these issues. And that is why they were rushing us out of the office and to take possession of the car.
In our paperwork we paid 19,304 for our trade-in. That is the amount of the check that was supposed to be sent to pay it off. They only sent in a check 18,879 to pay off the car, they kept the 425 and applied it to what the claim we owe, and are demanding that we bring them the 1575. Or they will pursue legal actions
What options do I have here? Give them an additional 1575? Give them back the car?
