I was not trying to be like that and im sorry that you see it that way.. I was trying to present another side to the discussion, that is all.
my astericks button dosen't work that well, so I see no need to swear.

don't be sorry, he wasn't ripped off... who forced him to buy the car without checking under the hood and asking questions?
thats like saying this car isn't 20 thou? thats what the ad says meanwhile they didn't read the stock number plain as day on the top of the ad! |

He was misled. Of course, you would have verified each of the 27,982 parts in the vehicle before purchasing it.

I never said its ok that he was ripped off. Thats never ok, all I said is he should have done his research BEFORE agreeing to buy the car.
IMHO its as much his fault as it was theirs. I never said the dealer was in the right, nor did I say he was... All I was offering was the OTHER side of the coin, maybe he never looked at it that way. geez... calm thy self... |

Crazy, he went to a dealership and was supposed to be dealing with honest professionals. They mislead him into the options and details of the car. They said it had the damn brakes when he asked more than once, what don't you understand about this? I guess you must be ok with deceptive business pratices and tricking people, because you don't seem to think that the dealer is responsible at all, and seem to think in fact that it's perfectly ok to lie and decieve as long as someone falls for it.

Hmmm... people here are actually arguing the fact that any consumer should have no recourse or gauarantee unless they are purchasing a product that they have full technical knowledge to be able to verify the facts that the licensed sales person has told them? Yup, ok, sounds good.

I also never said he should have no recourse either... sheesh, you all take more out of context than politicians and the press!
you have the RIGHT to get the vehicle inspected you have the RIGHT to refuse the sale You have the right not to be fed misleading info you also have the ability to make sure about things if they are important to you from someone you trust, like a second opinion from a doctor... He should have not been misled, and he should alsoalso seek action about that. However he should have also excersised his right under the law to inspect the vehicle. |

Restatement Section 159: Misrepresentation: an assertion that is not in accord with the facts. Sec. 172: a recipient's reliance on a seller's statement is not unjustified unless the buyer acted in bad faith it could also be looked as a "mistake" if the dealer really thought the car had ABS, but Sec. 154 lead sme to believe the dealer, rather than the buyer, bears the risk of the mistake. |

did you read my other posts? He should have looked for himself, or asked to see the engine bay if he didn't know what the abs pump looked like to ask where it was...

80 year old woman buys a car. She asks if it has ABS, and is assured it does. She drives off lot, locks up the brakes and hits someone. Would she have a case against the dealership, or is it "tough luck"?

the accident is her fault if she is following to closely give it up and stop trying to prove me wrong that he should have looked under the hood

what about the somewhat recent case where people bought 120GB hard drives only to find out that the actual capacity was only about 112GB. They didn't know that hard drives were measured in gigabits and not gigabytes, and that small portions were taken up during formatting. No one put a gun to their head and forced them to buy the drives. But the court agreed that the packaging and advertising was misleading and awarded some money to them, I don't see anything different here..... There was also a suit by a group of vegitariens who were assured that McDonald's fries were cooked in veggie oil, only to find later that they used animal products in their oils. They must have been ignorant to not take a scoop of the oil to a labratory first to be sure.

Should have looked under the hood? Probably. His fault for not seeing ABS hardware? Absolutely not. I guess there is no arguing with the two of you. Check the actual cases cited above, but I doubt it will help. |
