Dealership wants me to resign contract

[Herr Kutz]

I thought you just bought a 2016 civic?

OFT, what dealer was it? So I can avoid them in the future...

some times it pays off to be nice, doing them a favor now may help you out in the future

as long as the terms, price, interest rate, etc... are all the same, i would go back and sign it... do NOT void the current contract until you see the new one though

I bought a 2010 Fusion. Negotiated, got a price I was happy with. Part of the deal was a $1000 discount for having a Costco membership. They called me a week later and said my membership had lapsed and I needed to pay an extra $1000. i checked and I had no valid Costco membership. Shit, I owe them a grand. Paid.
Cleaning the car a few days later I found a goddam "SALE!" sign under the drivers seat, for a grand less than I bargained them for. Drove it straight down to the dealership and threw a hissy fit. They refunded my grand and gave me free oil changes for life.

Curious as to how exactly this would help out the op at all. You first inconvenience the buyer a 2nd/3rd time (depending on how many hoops he jumped through to get the initial deal), and for what? Something that only benefits the dealer?

I am sorry, but a good sales guy is a guy who is straightforward, honest, and doesn't make mistakes when it comes time to sign on the dotted line. When you get past that point, sorry Charlie. Unless you're helping the customer, there is no incentive to re-sign a contract. If they gain $1000 on an incentive, they should share that with the customer or offer something to make it worth his while. When it comes to sales, everything is a negotiation from them, and should be no different for things going back at them.

I can't imagine a court upholding a lawsuit by a dealer, for a few thousand dollars for a new vehicle. Now if the paperwork said $3,000 instead of $30,000 for a brand new truck or car, then reasonable minds would say it was a typo, not the negotiated deal, and the deal couldn't stand as is. But if the dealer said that the sales guy sold that same vehicle for $1,000 to $3,000 less than he should have (after being reviewed or not by a manager), then most any judge would toss out that lawsuit. Assuming it would get that far which wouldn't really make any sense. Sounds like there are quite a few dishonest dealers out there.

In the reply to the OP I'd probably say to the dealer that it sounds like an honest mistake, but why are you asking me to solve it? After hearing the lame excuse, I'd ask what could you do for me, given that this really is not my problem. Getting 6 free oil changes and tire rotations, or maybe some all-weather mats might be in play. I wouldn't ask for a cut of the incentive.
