Thumbs down Dealing a bad deal

Hello!
Let me start off saying I'm a young, single girl in a new city. My trusty car of 8 years took a turn for the worst, and with a new job and steady pay I decided it was time to buy. I did a LOT of research and went into the dealership knowing a good price, but NOTHING about how to buy a car (I know, mistake).
I got a pretty good price for the car, but during the deal I said twice I did NOT want to pay for extended warranty coverage. I have one paper I signed saying "no warranty" and in the notes field at the bottom saying "remainder of factory warranty" the papers on the window saying "warranty- remainder of factory warranty" and in the actual contract paper I signed (I know, stupid) in the bottom in TINY print there is a $2450 charge for "GM 60/60000" It was not explained to me, there was no paperwork, and I said I did not want to pay for an extended warranty.
I realize I signed the paper, but I also signed ALL of the other papers saying no warranty, I was not given any paperwork about an extended warranty and my loan experience is college loans where the TOTAL loan is the loan WITH interest, which I assumed was the case with this.
Is there ANY chance at ALL I can get out of this ridiculous warranty? I've been trying to contact the dealership (yes, it is a LARGE GM dealership) but I have yet to hear back from anyone. I love my car and I do not want to return it but I have three different papers saying three different things and none of it matched what we talked about.
I tried to talk to them yesterday when I picked the car up but they just repeated that they "didn't have to do anything" slower and slower like I was a stupid child and that they "would get back with me." My dad has always been my go to person for this stuff but he passed away a couple months ago and I have no idea what to do!

Any advise and help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Dealing a bad deal

Thousand of buyers every day when purchasing a vehicle fall into what I call the " dealer cash cow ",,, wish you would have read this link beforehand http://www.usedcartips.org/ANYWARRANTY.html

Is there ANY chance at ALL I can get out of this ridiculous warranty? You signed a bill of sale and when you took delivery of vehicle you signed a contract for the loan , at this point it's binding.

but I have three different papers saying three different things and none of it matched what we
talked about. Look,,, I don't mean to be harsh, but your post is after the fact and unless you can prove misrepresentation it's binding, on the positive side the GM warranty you purchased is very valid compared to other type warranty's.

Re: Dealing a bad deal

You shouldn't be posting on here, you should run it past a lawyer and ask their advice. They can at least give you an assessment of your options and whether or not they can do anything. Often times a letter from an attorney can go a long ways.

You should not be posting here with any problems buying a car ? " contact a lawyer " well goodbye AF forums hello lawyers.

First let me say your 100% right, I can't offer legal advice, only that this type problem I have come across not a few times but hundred of times, with end results " I repeat " unless you can prove misrepresentation it's a done deal.

If I thought the poster had a valid case I would have included this link into my answer http://www.usedcartips.org/dispute.html where you can get free counselling if a lawyer thinks you have case.

Summary,,, Had this question been asked after a signed bill of sale, but prior to delivery I would have been able to help the poster.

Re: Dealing a bad deal

I appreciate your help, and I realize I signed a binding contract for the purchase of a vehicle. I also realize I am the dumb*** who signed the paperwork and therefore I'm fairly well screwed.
One paper says "Warranty: "manufacturer warranty still applies" and another that has the "as is-no warranty" checked (very small XX on the box, which is almost the same color as the box), but notes on the bottom "remainder of factory warranty" which I signed next to. These are the only two papers that mention warranty (other than the 60/60000 which is clearly a warranty, but does not explicitly state it).
I FEEL as if I was intentionally misled in an effort to squeeze as much money as possible out of the deal. Can I prove it? Maybe.
I've send 2 emails, asked to receive a call from my sales manager while I was at the dealership, talked to three live help professionals on their website (the only response I get is "if you give me your contact information I will have my sales manager call you," left one voice mail and called two more times (reaching only a recording to try back later), and have yet to receive any response what so ever. Which makes me even more inclined to believe it was intentional misrepresentation. Again, whether I can prove it or not I doubt it.
Thanks again for the advice.

Unfortunately, your unable to see the contract over the internet nor do you have a thorough understanding of the laws in texas. In this case a lawyer would definitely be a better solution. Nobody on here will be able to give you proper advice. And frankly, its not question about "problems buying a car". Its a question about a contract and validity.

edit: I'm not trying to be a jerk but I know a lot of lawyers and i've seen a lot of situations where bad things could have been avoided with a few calls or a letter from an attorney.

I don't agree with your viewpoint and you don't agree with mine it's best we let it end at this point to let readers form their own opinion.

I appreciate your input and hope we will cross again in another thread.

Re: Dealing a bad deal

If you think you can prove it then you should find a lawyer to look over the contract to see if they're at fault or not. And the lawyer would more than likely have a much easier time contacting the dealer.

Except those extended warranties tend not to cover shit.... And if they screwed him on all that other stuff that badly I can only imagine what the warranty says
