Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

I purchased a used car on August 16th, 2009 and informed the salesperson the only money I had was my 2003 Jag as a trade The salesperson, the Finance Manager, and the Dealership Manager worked the numbers until they got it into my budget. The Dealership Manager told me he would work the numbers if my payment came back from the Credit Union to ensure it would remain under $300.00.
We all signed the paperwork and I left the tent sale. I did not read each line of the finance page because I trusted what the dealership said. This past week I received a letter from the dealership demanding the $1000.00 down. They did not request payment the day of the sales and it has been almost 8 weeks since I purchased the car. Can they legal collect this money? I have a friend who can testify I told them I did not have any down payment money and the sales person understood the fact.

It's the "I did not read" and the "I trusted" part that are going to cost you. Bottom line, you signed the contract, and you are stuck with it.
