Dealer sues customer for more money
Here's a story about a dealer who made a mistake (so they claim) on a sales form and accidentally undercharged a customer (so they say).
Long after the deal was done (2 weeks), the dealer calls the customer and asks for the difference. The customer says no and now the dealer is suing the customer to get the rest of the money they believe is due them. Here's the link to the story: http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2010...cel-good-deal/ Discuss. |

Legalized extortion is what it is. All they're doing is trying to convince the buyer it will cost more to fight than to just pay which is BS...

If I were the buyer, go find a lawyer wanting to make a name for themselves, fighting for "the little guy" and will do it "probono" and let the chips hit the ground....the dealer will lose.

yeah, they way i see it: if it's on paper saying, she shouldn't have to pay. it's a signed legal contract, you can't just say "oops, my bad, pay me more!"

I leased a car back in 1986, and in the lease contract it stated that at the end of the lease I could return the car and if the actual value was less than their residual value determined at the lease signing and I would owe nothing.. Unless it had excessive miles or damage... BUT it also stated If I wanted to purchase the car I could purchase it at the residual value they determined at the lease signing, no matter what the car was worth at the time the lease ended.
In my case it wouldn't have mattered if the car was worth 7K more than they thought, I would have gotten it for the stated residual value THEY determined at lease signing.
