I am dealing with a similair situation with a dealership. I recently went to a dealership to purchase a vehicle. They told me my credit was not good enough and could not finance me. After a week or so the salesman called me back and told me that he found a way to finance me and get me the car. Someone just brought a vehicle back to the dealership because they wanted to trade it in for a 4 door. They asked if I signed a contract if I would be willing to co-sign on the loan and take over the payments. The contract written up was legal in the eyes of my attorney friend so I went ahead with the deal. 3 weeks after a purchased the vehicle and applied for all the paperwork (title, refinancing for loan) I had police arrive at my door to arrest me for stealing my own car. The car I purchased under the roof of a well known dealership was a stolen vehicle. At this point I am out the deposit on the car (which was forged) and the car I signed for. I have been working with the person who reported the vehicle stolen and it was not even her who brought the car back, it was her ex-husband and the dealer knew what was going on. I am working with an attorney also to see if the dealership is liable since the deal was done with them. He said they are responsible for what they did and I am owed what is coming to me. I know this not be much but I hope it helps. I meet with the attorney again tomorrow and as I get more advice or what direction you should go, I will share it with you. Good Luck!!!!! By the way, any paperwork you have is worth gold in the hands of an attorney.
