New car Dealer backing out of deal after we both signed purchase agreement and contract!?
Question by jarrodaizling: New car Dealer backing out of deal after we both signed purchase agreement and contract!?
I had a dealer back out of a car sale today after we both signed the contract and purchase agreement for the price they gave me for the VIN. & model I wanted. As well as they charged my card for the first and last months payment. While I was waiting for the plate runner to return with my new plates the sales manager stated that they couldnt do the deal for the price and needed to charge me an additional $ 4000.00. They wouldn’t let me take the car and stated that they couldnt honor the deal they wrote up. Please help if you have knowlage on this sort of topic.
Note : I have both signed docs. as well as my receipt for payment of first/last.

Offer and acceptance. The contract is binding, and he may not charge you an additional $ 4000. If he refuses to sell you the car at the agreed price, you can go out and buy a replacement car (same model, features, etc.) for the next-best price you can and then bill / sue the dealer for the difference between what you paid and the contract price.
Let him know that the deal is governed by the UCC § 2-713, and if he doesn’t perform then you’ll sue him in small claims court for damages. But first make sure that the contract terms don’t specify that he’s allowed to terminate without cause before delivery.
