Car Lease

Card image cap

Location: NYC

I’m writing this while emotionally charged and overwhelmed so I apologize for the structure and anything I miss in the post. Last week on Friday I took a lease for a car that was seemingly a good deal better than other dealerships by a good amount. The problem is they misrepresented the down payment and the fees and taxes. I was led to believe the down payment or Capital cost reduction was a certain amount they brought out a paper with that number and the number for the monthly payments and I signed it before the official lease signing. Now at lease signing they said the number was the same but told me numbers for taxes and fees that would bring my total due at signing to a certain amount. The misrepresented how much was the taxes and fees and I did not see an official itemized list or the official contract until today after already driving off with the car. This was a double contract because I did not have all the money due at signing in my account at the time so I made the one part of the payment that day and one today. That day when I made the payment I was not given the contract to take home was not shown the itemized list or anything until today when I made the second payment and completed the amount due at signing. After seeing it I saw 2280 dollars was added to the capitalized cost reduction that I was led to believe was a part of taxes and fees. 1000 of that was the rebate credit which I assume I have no claim to either way. My question is, is there anything I can do now after having already signed driven off and paid in full the total due at signing? If there’s any questions that might help please let me know and I’ll answer for anything that might not be clear in the post.if you need the number or a picture of the lease deal I can add it I just want to know if there’s anything I can do or anything I can get back.
