apparently, my car dealer goofed on the rebate thingy, and wants me to renegotiate my new car....

he never asked how long I had the car, and I guess you have to have it for at least 1 year, which I did not. I bought it in cash at the end of ausugt last year.

now they are saying that we need to come up with more $, yeah right!

Ouch. Yes, that is a requirement. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 13:03 8
- maybe so, but why was that never brought up in the conversation? - groiny Aug 3, 13:04 7
  - Probably assumed, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't some paperwork you signed in connection with using the program and if so, I'd guess that - pmb Aug 3, 13:06
  - Someone at the dealership messed up and forgot to ask -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 13:05 5
    - see, they are supposed to the the experts in this shit, not me. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 13:05 4
      - I'd expect them to be on top of it, yes, but you're not a babe-in-the-woods either. - ty97 Aug 3, 13:06 3
        
        hell, I was shocked when they told me I could use it towards an Equinox! - groiny Aug 3, 13:07 2
        
        laughing. - ty97 Aug 3, 13:08 1
        
        granted the HHR would have made MUCH more sense, but my wife wanted the equinox. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 13:09

What car did you get? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 12:56 1
- a nice gas efficient Equinox 2009. - groiny Aug 3, 13:01
Check the papers you signed. Was the price contingent on qualification for the C.A.R.S. rebate? - ty97 Aug 3, 12:55 7
- It's also possible that in one of the papers he signed he represented that he had owned the car for over a year in which case there is a breach of - pmb Aug 3, 12:59 6
  - Ah but did it specify planet Earth years? If you lived on Mercury a year only takes 90 days. -- nm - Loyola Aug 3, 13:03
  - I feel almost certain that one of the papers was written in a way to invalidate the sale or price if the car didn't qualify. - ty97 Aug 3, 13:03
  - Damn lawyers. Or damn auto salesmen. Or damn groiny. - musubi Aug 3, 13:01 3
    - don't damn me, they never asked me how long I had the car. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 13:02 2
      - Well, not for this, but I'm sure you've done *something* recently that deserves damning. - musubi Aug 3, 13:07 1
        
        oh, I can not argue that at all. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 3, 13:08
