Default Re: Moral dilemma/car dealership help? (a little long)

for the love of god, dont give this guy a single cent. They effed it all up on their end, sure it never would have gone down this way if you had the title like you were supposed to, but that doesnt change the fact its their fault for not making sure everything was the way it was supposed to be before they closed the deal, and their fault for not doing what they could have when they had a chance.

I'd tell the guy I dont feel responsible for a single cent. If he gets whiney about it, I'd tell him to chalk it up to a $3K life lesson.

I should leave this alone but there a few things ppl should consider when they think they are being smart saying the dealer doesnt have a leg to stand on.

1. I am confident OP signed a form saying the car was registered to him with a clear title.

2. I am confident he signed an arbitration agreement and although this will never go to arbitration over this small amount of money....IMO, OP could very well be responsible for the loss because the dealer cannot sell the car which was bought in good will off of false information from the OP.

3. What if OP bought the BMW and the dealer couldnt produce the title and put him off for months and then found it and OP had to pay $3k in fines?

Based upon my strong dislike for car dealers I would hate giving them any money, however your actions did cost them some money, but not as much as they are asking.

By taking the old and current blue book value you can probably figure out how much your two months of foot dragging cost them. Offer them that if it's important to you.

cabbage,

Guests, lol.

I dont understand, where is the moral dilema?

You have to decide whether or not to give a stranger 3k?

Give me back my last 3 minutes and next time put a warning in the title that says not really a dilema just wanted to chat about my boring life.

i'm not exactly a car expert, but i don't see how a 2004 would lose 30% of its value in 7 months if it's not being driven. not giving this guy free mani sounds like a pretty good plan to me.
