I bought a truck

I bought a new truck Friday. At first they said I'd need to pay $500 down and sign a $500 promissory note. We worked on the deal back and forth all day and I went and got a check for the amount of the loan $36000. Today the dealership called me about the $1000 down payment. I looked and the purchase order says $1000 down payment. No one asked me for any money or card or anything. I didn't know they still wanted $1000. I have the keys and have been driving it all weekend. All the registration is converted over. What should I do?

What should I do?

Pay the $1000. Or waste a day as a defendent in Small Claims Court and then pay $1000+.

Pay the money you agreed to pay.

So basically you are asking if it's OK for you to not do something you specifically agreed to do. Gotcha.

There wasn't an agreement to pay the money. They told me they'd need that to take my trade. The bank told them they would not loan what they were asking and the dealer changed the deal. The final deal said nothing about money down.

You've already told us that the final deal says your are supposed to pay the $1,000

I looked and the purchase order says $1000 down payment.
