What California does seems a little extreme in the other direction from "I promise to pay you. Really." Doesn't it seem like there should be some sort of consistency from state-to-state in car registration? These separate yet united states make it pretty confusing. |

A week later, when they close out the deal, they realize they ****ed up, call the police to try to activate the tracker. Cops say they can't activate the tracker w/o reporting it stolen, so sales manager says, "uhh...sure, it's stolen". |

Depending on his job, this could seriously screw the guy for a very long time. I hope he gets his money.

Some states do allow a grace period for returning the car. Dont know if you will be charged a restocking fee.

I know the Chevy and Dodge dealers here in Reno will let you take a car on a "24 hour test drive" where you drive it for a day, see if it fits in your garage, etc. They'll do anything to sell those heaps, I guess.
Dude may have taken the first Traverse home for a day just to flog it and see if he really liked it. Then went back to pick up the one that wasn't beat on for the first 50 miles. |

Here is what I think people are missing
Quote:
That should cost the dealership some coin. Here the govt registration and insurance is completed (VIN written on contract, license plate assigned and installed, temporary pink insurance card printed and all aforementioned docs given to the buyer) before the car rolls off the lot (at least in 95% of cases, I am sure a late pickup on a Friday afternoon sometimes has paperwork stuffed in an envelope and mailed out or hand-delivered on Saturday or the following Monday). So switching out VIN's would require internal paperwork and other changes. If what the customer did was an overnight test-drive that turned into a sale, then thats different. No idea if it was a bait-and-switch on the part of the dealer or if the customer was trying to evade the $5600 but either way the arrest was way too far. Small claims court or other options were available. |

I hope they lose their 2 million. This is a drop in a bucket for them. I know of a certain priority dealership in my area who's marketing budget alone is 1.3 million a year.

If I was on a jury hearing this case, where the dealership lied and the police came to his house and hauled him out in cuffs, I would be voting for the customer and giving him 2.2 million.

shocked me too. They ran my credit and I'm sure one of the 99 forms said something like if you don't come with a check within 2 weeks, we'll just go ahead and finance it for you. Hell, they didn't even give a rip about insurance...I had to halt them to make a call to my agent before I left. Very strange that Priority Honda dealership. Salesman's name was Ron and I went from driving onto the lot with a 03 Pilot (transmission was shot....they missed that during trade-in) to driving off in a 11 Pilot in 2 hours. I don't **** around at dealerships. Oh, and EVERY new Honda on the lot had a $1000 to $3000 markup over sticker for "in demand fee" or some such BS.

In other words: the dealership was using the pending criminal case (that existed in the first place due to their false reporting of a stolen car) as leverage to extort money from the buyer. |
