Default Bought a new car..dealer forgot to collect down payment.

I bought a new car a few days ago. I went to the dealer and agreed to put down $2000.
After all the paper work was completed I took the car home and then realized I still had the money in my pocket. I got a loan on the car and the receipt says I paid the dealer $2000 down. I have all the paper work as if I paid the dealer the money but the dealer forgot to collect.
Today I received a voice mail about the mistake and that they want the money.
Legally wise, who wins this case if I don't pay up? I have paper work as if I paid.

I know most you guys are going to say just pay them the money but for arguments sake. Who would win?

Do you want to spend $2000 in court to find out? I strongly doubt that a judge would dismiss the dealer's claim on the grounds of a clerical error.
I wouldn't tempt fate.

If you have all the paperwork saying you paid then I bet if you went to court and said you paid then the judge would have no choice but to side with you. I am not a lawyer tho...that is just what I think.

With that said...pay the money.

If you have to ask then either you have poor morals and ethics or you already know the answer.

Add to that, they no doubt would take this to court which means you would be willing to lie under oath.

I vote corrupt ethics and morals and now that you have made this thread their lawyer can find proof of perjury through some creative google-fu...even after you delete the thread thanks to cached pages showing in searches.

Pay your damn bills, it's gonna cost you a hell of a lot more to try and not pay it than to just pony up the agreed amount.

I know I won't ever do business with you or consider you as an employee after reading this.
