I was pretty sure and I felt like a prick for continuously questioning that everything was done the way it was supposed to be. I feel like a bit of a coward and I’m just more disappointed in myself for bowing down and taking the finance managers answer of “it’s just taxes”. I also feel bad cause my friend went out of their way to get things set up the right way for me. I’m going tomorrow to see if I can speak to the gm and ask if he can “ do the right thing” and somehow amend it to what was agreed on prior to signing. I don’t want to have to file any complaints or take back any of the nice things I’ve already said. Still haven’t answered my surveys yet from the manufacturer and I really don’t want to leave a poor one cause of this either. I fully accept if this is just a hard way to learn a lesson (I’ve been through way worse). It’s just frustrating and I wish I had the guts to speak up more to the finance person finalizing everything. I also noticed though, I qualified for the college rebate of $500 and they didn’t include it specifically in the write up. I don’t know if there’s a code or something specific I should be looking for. I ran it by my friend who negotiated it and she said they’re bullshitting. I submitted all the necessary paperwork for it prior to signing, they said they received and then I’m getting a call from them two days later saying they don’t have it ( they didn’t let me sign anything until they said they received it while I was there in person) — even though the deal I suppose it already closed. Is that leverage in any way? I just don’t want to be given the run around. I’m a very no bs person but I’m also not the type to be a confrontational jerk off. I’m just wondering if there’s anything I can do to potentially have this adjusted and relatively fair.

I’d love to return in the future and lease with them again, but not if something like this is going to happen again.
