Thank you for that bit of information. much appreciated! My mother is very intellegent when it comes to this kind of stuff and she would not sign any contract unless all the numbers were the same and I was the buyer and she was just a co-signer. See the thing is with them they agreed to take my Saturn in as a trade. we walked out of there amazed at the deal we got from them. my brother, father, mother, lawyer, and i think that the reason they refused the first contract is because the realized they got screwed over taking my car and only $1,500 down and low payments. yes it is a lease so payments are generally cheaper then buying right? at the end of my lease will i be able to go to another Honda dealer to resign?

Rebecca some car dealers like to do what has happend to you so they can keep you from buying from another dealer down the road. If I were you I would get out your car buying contract and see if they put you as the buyer and your parents as the co-signers. Some car dealers will have their F&I guy/gals to make you "THINK" that that is the way it has been set up. But what they do is to have your mom or dad sign the contract FIRST as the buyer's and you as the second person on the contract Which would make you the co-signer. If a car dealer thinks for one second that a bank will not do a deal, trust me the F&I people will put something in place to get the deal to fly real fast. Banks do not care if car dealers do this.
