This compliant is from the transaction to trade in a 2018 ******* Navigator L for a 2016 Tesla Model X 90D on 5/23/22. To be clean, this complaint has nothing to do with the vehicle(s) that were part of this transaction. There are two components to this complaint:1. Sales person and Finance Director both agreed to and acknowledged a trade-in value of $59,000 for the 2018 ******* Navigator L. When the **** of sale was presented, there were actually two bills of sale; 1. that represented a straight up purchase of the vehicle, and 2. with a purchase of the vehicle plus my trade values at $55,000. Both sales person and Finance Director indicated in the dealership and post-transaction that I received a "credit" of $3,850 since if I was purchasing outright I would be paying $4,641 in sales tax ($791 is on the **** of sale). Their reasoning to me was that this was a credit which justified the reduction in the trade-in value. Upon my further research I have since realized that this is an incorrect application of sales tax law. The way this should have been outlined on the **** of sale was a trade-in value of $59,000 plus sales tax at $511 (instead of $791), so I should be due $4,280. Correspondence is attached.2. Dealer indicated that the financing company, Penfed, required an additional $1,100 down, payable by check or Zelle, which was completed immediately with payment sent to ******************************** Upon inquiry with Pedfed this was not indeed the case per their records. Dealer did not provide **** of Sale in package so I can justify proper accounting was completed at time of sale for how this was accounted for and if this was indeed correct. I would like a copy of the **** of Sale to justify.I am looking for a refund of $4,280 due to the way sales tax was portrayed and value incorrect value of trade-in was represented on **** of Sale. As well, if the $1,100 "down payment" accounting does not add up I am also seeking this refund, for a potential refund of $5,380.
