My daughter leased a car then decided she wanted a different car. I happened to need a new car at the time, so I took over the lease (not officially), I just made all the payments and drove the car for three years. At lease end I decided to buy the car. I went into the Ford Dealership, they ran my credit/employment, etc. I signed papers, got a temporary license plate, etc., etc. and walked out the new owner of a Ford Focus.
About two weeks later I was contacted by Ford. They said they shouldn't have sold me the car -- only the person on the lease can buy the car. And now they want it back -- or they want my daughter to be on the loan. But she is trying to buy a house and doesn't want to be financially responsible (for a loan). Am I screwed? Are they screwed? Just wondering if I am obligated to return the car. It seems like they made a big mistake, but ... I don't know the law.
Thank you!
