Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

hello

I recently went with my mom to purchase a vehicle, we found a 2008 Chevy Impala and were good with the price and monthly payments. She signed the contracts with the agreed monthly payments and everything was good..Now a week later ther car dealership is saying my mom needs to come back down to the dealer ship because her monthly payments have changed from $250 to $350...Is this Legal..? I was under the impression that once you signed a contract it was written in stone and if changed that would be a breach of contract...She has already put down $5000.00 torwards the car..Can the dealer ship Legally do this..?

Please reread both sides of the contract -- including the material printed in gray, almost illegible, ink. If there's no contingency that says something like, "this is only an estimate and contingent upon the dealership's obtaining financing according to these terms," then the dealership is required to honor the agreement. Someone is probably trying to cover up for his/her own mistake.
