A friend of mine leased a Ram 1500 through a bank about a year ago and went back today to check the sale documents to see mileage allowed and overage fees. When the dealer completed the documents two errors were made. The first error was that my friend was given the dealer copy of the lease agreement, not the customer copy. Secondly, the dealer failed to include number of miles on the contract. What rights does the vehicle leasee have here?
The issue then become is the mileage is, in fact, over does he have the right to ignore mileage limitations? We are pretty certain it is a 12k per year, however being as he never agreed to a set mile number in the contract. The truck is 8k miles over currently, and we are wondering if this could be a loophole to not pay an overage.
The dealership has also been sold since this incident due to multiple issues like this from others we know. They also never closed the lease so we didn’t get to make payments until 5 months along.
Missouri. We are going to call the bank to basically let them know the issue here. Also, I saw the MF was .0026 which explains the insane payment. I normally don’t advise suing, but these people fucked the deal royally.
Back to my suggestion…why not look at his online account and see what it says? The lender wouldn’t have funded the deal w/o mileage bring in there. For my .02 from an internet stranger I doubt it is a loophole.
Or email? Or a phone or computer? It takes 2 mins to register. Anyway
Some people like to read War and Peace, I like to read the last page first.
You should check his online account, and call the bank to get a copy of his lease agreement.
Spoilers: this situation ends with your friend at a lawyer (no login required), where it should have gone in month 2 when the contract wasn’t funded and they couldn’t take his money, and his copy of the dealer’s lease agreement didn’t have mileage on it.
Why the flip flopping between “we” and “he” in each post? Agreed it’s odd you are the one posting and … odder with the vacillating pronouns.
Now that the payments are up to date nothing to do anymore about the 5 month delay - and as already said bank surely has a mileage amount in their system - that’s what it is unless you want to waste a lot of time and money and energy fighting it. Do you even need thousands of extra miles?
