But we have some others over here you might be interested in for just a little bit more." What you are asking for is a contract that is legally binding on the part of the dealer but NOT legally binding on YOUR part. What kind of an idiot would do that? You can't have your cake and eat it too they say. |

Replying to: mujahidmd (Apr 19, 2009 8:23 am) Man if I only had a dime every time I heard "No one beats our prices". so i asked him for the buyer contract saying i want to see if anyone can beat you. You don't need a buyers contract to do that. You have his price go and see if anyone can beat it. Also if i request a buyers contract that doesntt mean that i have to buy it from there right? If you sign it then legally yes you signed a contract saying you will buy the car. Will the dealership force you to honor it? Most likely not. Also remember that for a contract to have any effect there has to be an acceptance of the contract. If you take it to shop the price around you haven't accepted the contract so they can rescind it at any time. And lastly if i get the buyers contract is there anyway he still can low ball me? Mikefm58 said it best.

Replying to: snakeweasel (Apr 19, 2009 9:49 am) Then i asked him to send me a buyers contract for this car. (The dealer is closed today) I just finished talking to this one dealer saying that he would beat that price if i fax him the buyers contract. Also what is the difference between a buyers contract and a purchase order?

I bet if I offered you a TV for $25, you'd haggle me down another 50 cents. Sheesh. Note - the dealership works both ways. If you mess with them, they can always say that they don't want your business and to get out. You had your chance at a good deal. (You'll note that 99.99% of businesses have a "we reserve the right to refuse service" type sign somewhere)
