Reply to comment by This_Neighborhood511 in Down payment refund on car by This_Neighborhood511

When did you finance, and why do you not still have your own copy?

Anyway, the numbers should all add up very clearly. There should be a line by line breakdown of what it is that you're paying for.

Most of the time with threads like these, it turns out that the OP signed up for a warranty plan and didn't realize it. Those can usually run a few thousand, so that may very well be what happened. If that turns out to be what happened with you, you can usually cancel those warranties.

Understood. Just try not to panic. As everyone is saying, it's highly unlikely that you actually got screwed here (well...not more screwed than a dealership is normally expected to screw, anyway). The "missing" $4,000 is almost certainly various taxes and fees, and possibly some type of warranty. The taxes and fees you can't do anything about, that's a part of buying a car, but if you did sign up for some sort of warranty, you may be able to cancel that.
