Shady dealer

Ohio

I bought a car from a local dealer, paid 3500 down and the salesperson took my info to arrange a loan thru a credit union, and gave me a 45 day tag. A couple weeks went by and I didn't hear anything from the dealer or loan agent. I called my dealer and found out she hadn't filed the loan for some kind of personal reason, and she said she would get to it real soon. More time passed, about five days before my tag expired I called the dealer to see what was happening. The owner told me that they still didn't file the loan yet and that they would give me a new temporary tag. My wife picked the tag up and a couple days later the dealer called and asked me to come in to make some kind of deal. I already had a deal, why would I have to make another? Is this guy for real, how should I proceed?

You might want to cancel the deal.

You could report the dealer to ODPS | BMV | Ohio Auto Dealers they regulate car dealers in your state.

Get prepared for a legal fight if you want your three grand back.

Google used car dealer scams.

You're in for a shock.

You dont have to agree to a new deal.
If you reject their offer you might have to return the car.
What does your contract say about the time they are allowed to cancel the contract?
