Remember that the customer refused to complete the contract not the dealership. The consideration on the part of the dealership was the willingness to sell him the car and follow through on it. Now if the sale didn't go through because of the dealership then it wouldn't be enforceable. That being said it would be a good business practice to refund the deposit as a goodwill jester. |

Yes yes, that must be it. I am sure that a company like Ford losing market share like my dog sheds fur wouldn't be interested in bringing a vehicle that promises to be a huge hit to market as fast as possible. |

Replying to: dtownfb (Sep 06, 2008 7:25 pm) In the case of the Fiesta, I will call it a 3/4-assed attempt, since the car seems to be so good.  But they will still be two years late.
