You said that you read that they put it back in the contract, but you call them a rip off? You should have talked to one of the sales managers and I guarantee that you wouldn't of got the run around. And by the way, the managers are at the tower desk, right on the showroom for your convienence. So next time you don't pay attention to what your doing, make your way to the tower for assistance. Maybe they can help you try to understand what you are signing. And to finish this off, when it comes down to it, you still could of just walked out and not signed anything! But no, you chose to sign anyways. You can't blame others for your stupidity. I worked there for 3 years and have never had a problem with them. My father has also worked for this company for almost all my life. So good talk

The dealers will lie, cheat, and do everything to get you to sign the contract but you should read it first, no matter what pressure they are putting on you. It was probably obvious (after you look at the situation in retrospect) that the payoff amount of your old car simply became an additional amount on your new loan. The dealer cannot make money by paying off loans on tradeins unless they get it back someway - no matter what they say. It was a hard lesson to learn. The best thing is to arrange your financing before you ever step into a dealership. Or, maybe even try to refinance at a lower rate but the loan you have may be a large prepayment penalty in it.
