Do I have any legal course of action if a car dealer....

[CoolTech]

Sold me a warranty plan, he verbally said it covered leather rips, but i read the contract and it explicitly said it doesnt.

 

[Yossarian]

no

 

[KLin]

Of course you do since you recorded the conversation right?

 

[jcovercash]

I thought a verbal contract was binding? But it basically would come down to your word against his.

 

[CoolTech]

if I call the company and record the convo of him saying, yes it does, is that binding then?

 

[Quasmo]

I think Best Buy would be in the gutter if verbal contracts were binding.

A verbal contract is worth the paper it's printed on.

FYI, no extended car warranty covers anything that isn't electrical or mechanical.

Edit: And not a normal wear item, unless it is also specifically a maintenance and wear plan.

 

Get a lawyer and pay out the ass.

How are you going to prove it? Since you're the accuser, the burden of proof is on you.

 

[CoolTech]

what if there is a typo on the form I signed, says a car less than 20,00 miles constitutes a new car, but it has 5,000 miles on it, would that warrant contract breach?

call up the dealer, ask for the guy I was talking to, record it?

Edit: Or did you mean 20 miles? Or 2000?

And that would simply make the contract invalid if the car didn't qualify.

 

[CoolTech]

that is exactly what the contract states "20,00" does not say "20,000" or "2,000" or "20.00"

1. Taping a conversation without other parties aknowledgement or permission (veries by state) is illegal.

2. Court will not admit a taped conversation as evidence, unless such conversation was recorded as a part of an investigation and was sanctioned by court.

 

[CoolTech]

ok, well what about the typo listed above

 

[pmoa]

nope...you signed...you got pwned

 

You do understand that bringing the dealership to court would cost you more than the price to fix any rips in your leather, if they ever happen.

 

[CoolTech]

well, the contract is null and void if it has ambiguous terms like "20,00" right?

 

[Yossarian]

you bought a new car that has 5000 miles on it?

Of course it is. Just take the car back and ask for your money that you put down. Should be just that easy.

yes, was a demo, so they still consider it "new"

so, in your opinion, do I have a case for contract cancellation?

 

[Yossarian]

oh boy you got owned.

 

[CoolTech]

enough with this owned crap, i need some legitimate feedback
