I bought a new vehicle last may 2, 2015 , the dealer took my used vehicle (2012 jeep wrangler with less than 25000 miles) as a trade, we agreed the down payment as well the trade price which was 16500. few days later they call me to let me know that i ow about four hundred something dollars because they miscalculate the numbers, I try several times to contact then , and they never answer, is a usual practice, so, at this time I stop my last check who I expedite to differ the down payment, about a week later ,my financial institution who was the lien holder in my old vehicle, send me a e-mail saying that my new statement was ready, so I call then and let then know that the vehicle was trade with this dealership,so they apologize and hang up, a week later the lien holder institution send a statement for 451.00 and cents, I immediately call then and they tell me that the dealer only pay 15,320.00 dollars for the trade and I had to pay the difference, because the contract was on my name and I was responsible for the end of payment, once again I try to contact the dealer never answer ( not the person who was en charge of the financial ) I send a certified letter. explaining all this , they contact me the person who wrote the contract and he tell me to deal I offer half of the money of the last check due to the fact that they didn't pay my trade vehicle in FULL , this person tell me they will think about it and yesterday I receive a certified letter from then saying that I have to pay the full amount of the check plus 25.00 for return fee or they are going to suit me for bounce check or I dishonored a payment , when they were the first in not comply and not pay the full amount of my trade, is this a contract breach? . besides they didn't apply the full amount of the down payment to the contract
