QUESTION
Can the dealer take back my car if they made a mistake on the contract?
Asked on Jan 07th, 2014 on Breach of Contract - Florida
More details to this question:
I bought a 2014 Acadia Nov.25. They gave me $29, 000 for my old car. When the finance department did the paper work they messed up and instead of putting $29, 000 they put $35.000. Now the dealer is calling me back telling me to come in so they can do a new contract. In the new contract they want to put the correct figure ($29,000) and that would cause my payment to go up to $89 dollars. If i dont accept the new contract they are going to give me my old car back. I spoke to the bank and they told me to fight it because it was the dealers mistake. I dont know what to do. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

I would hire an attorney immediately. This sounds like a "bait and switch" issue and its important to hire a lawyer right up front to sort it out as opposed to mutual contract mistake, in whcih you may need to undo the deal.
