Another legal question regarding dealership and sales tax

[slag]

Believe me... I feel like I could go out and be a auto dealership fraud attorney now. :sneaky:

I wish I could say I've been calm the entire time, but at least I've been able to keep the "crankiness" down to a minimum. Since I had to borrow the cash to pay the sales tax, my attorney said that I should write up a promissory note and bring it in as evidence. He explained that in small claims court, since the setting is much more informal, judges are afforded a little more "sympathy" and having had to borrow money in order to register our car will look favorable on my part. Even more, the owner herself has explained that everyone involved knew what they were doing which makes them look like either:

1)complete idiots who clearly don't take their dealership license seriously, or
2)complicit idiots who knew they were trying to defraud the state (especially since I have the finance manager recorded suggesting I do so... in a much more "subtle" fashion. :ninja:

I hope you win your case.

You probably shouldn't be posting a whole lot about what is going on in this forum though as it is easily searchable online.

So an update....

I sat on the whole small claims court deal for a while since i just didn't have time for it and the statute of limitations for the incident is 5 years. In February I went ahead and file in small claims and the dealership was served. They received a letter indicating that i was suing them for $1200 plus court costs. The actual damages were $1,115. I also indicated that I had recorded phone conversations and the original title application showing that they both incorrectly filled out their paperwork and recommended that I try "another DMV that might let the application through". I received notification that they'd been successfully served on Feb 25th and our court date is April 10th.

Just today, however, I received a package via UPS with the following:
