That Expressed verbal agreement between the Seller Agent, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Dealers Number XXXX, and the buyer, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that reduce the contractual obligation of {$690.00} per month became the objective of the final sales agreement. 
However, that Implied agreement nevertheless was not honored nor implemented by XXXX XXXX XXXX, the finance company, as promised by the seller as a condition of the purchase agreement, which breach that agreement and became the central point of contention between the parties. 
A Breach of Contract occurred by the seller when the Expressed conditions of the sale of the vehicle failed to ensure that the reduction in monthly payment through refinancing the original contract did not prevail. Furthermore, the XXXX XXXX XXXX that secured the purchase, later after the purchase then cancelled the insurance policy based on eligibility technicalities.
