I'm very fortunate to have won a free car in a national sweepstakes and it's getting to be crunch time on the legal paperwork. They sent me a packet of contracts, forms, and other documents requiring a signature, but I can't help but feel that some forms are superfluous.
1. Unstandably, the title.
2. Condition upon arrival disclaimer and general waiver of liability.
3. Lease/finance contract indicating that no payments are required. (Hooray!)
4. A form from Ford asking me to choose which option I'd like, either to assign $1000 to the dealer or receive $1000 from the dealer? Is this an incentive agreement?
5. Credit application.
If I'm receiving a "free" car, why do they need to run my credit? I'm pretty sure my meager ~625 will cause some problems; problems I'm trying avoid.
My literal "Dr. Gonzo" lawyer friend usually is inaccessible on weekends and I need to have these contracts sent out As soon as possible.
