Same old tricks!!!
I was the proud owner of a TL, for 2 days. I just took it back and handed the keys to the sales manager.
Hall Acura, in Virginia Beach, VA, tried the old your "financing wasn't approved, you have to sign this new lease, scam."
I told them as I sat in the F&I office that I would bring the car back if they changed a single thing.
So I did.
I wouldn't give them back the manuals, etc, until they gave me back the original documents and the copies of my drivers license. Then they only gave me back some of my documents. When I said there was some missing, the sales manager went into her office and mysteriously found them. Suprise!
I had picked the car up on Saturday, and they gave me 2 days to fall in love. But it's only a car and I don't put up with that kind of scam from anyone.
If they had told me the correct information up front, or had told me that I would not be approved for the lease, I would have done something else to buy the car. But they did every thing they could to get me into the dealership and then pulled that on me.
Take what ever lesson that you like from this.
Let the buyer beware.

I went down on Saturday because I was trying to help the salesman out and buy before July ended. The bank/ahc wasn't available so we signed and did the deal.
The F&I guy said it may not go through. I told him that at the interest rate they were charging, I wasn't going to do a business lease and sign myself.
IF, they had been honest up front about not approving business leases with out personal signatures, I would have done something else. But they wanted me in the showroom to make the sale and it appears to me that they lied to me to do it.
