Wanted to buy a leased Mazda that I was a co-signer on that was ending and asked for the final total amount to bring in.At first they said they were "working" on it getting the numbers and then after a day leter decided to tell me that "legally they cannot proceed further without talking to the person on the lease."
Disappointing since this would have been an easy sale and all I was asking for was the out the door price so I could go get the check from the bank. I even provided a bank document with proof that it was my account. I guess they did not believe me or because it was co-signed they decided it was to complicated.
Either way, waste of time after initially telling me it would be no problem! Anyhow, I don't buy the reason they could not give me a total was for legal reason!? Since when is adding tax and title a legal matter?

Ridiculous.
