Re: down payment on used vehicle

Read the contract that you signed on the date you purchased the car. For the most part, it governs the entire transaction. If the contract provides that you do not owe a down payment, then send a complaint letter to the Texas Attorney General and the Texas Department of Transportation Auto Dealers Enforcement Division. Send a copy to the dealer.
