Replying to: dglozman (Jul 31, 2006 5:45 am) So if someone who has no ideal what a Land Rover costs goes into a Land Rover dealership and buys a Land Rover for $27K and it was a mistake and it should have been $72K then the contract is void because of an obvious mistake. It doesn't matter if the buyer knew it was a mistake, what matters is if a reasonable person would know. In this case a reasonable person should know that it is a mistake.

Replying to: snakeweasel (Jul 31, 2006 6:19 am) To be honest with you, when I look at Range Rover cars on the street they do not look like $72,000 cars to me.. They look like a fancy Ford Explorers... So if one would be offered to me at $27,000 I would not be shocked or exited thinking I'm getting a greatest deal in the world...

Replying to: dglozman (Jul 31, 2006 5:45 am) This is like saying 'ignorance of the law IS an excuse' but we all know and more importantly the courts rule that it isn't. jmonroe

Replying to: british_rover (Jul 31, 2006 6:51 am) I live outside of New York city were apartment prices (in Manhattan) are around 1 mil. But for me - they have to pay me 1 mil for me to even consider to live in Manhattan.. Like I said - different value to different people. |

Replying to: dglozman (Jul 31, 2006 6:47 am) If you took this to court the court will try to determine what a reasonable person would believe and act accordingly. It wouldn't matter one bit to what you thought of the deal. In the example given the courts would have said "you should have known you couldn't get that brand new Rover for $27K". |

Replying to: dglozman (Jul 31, 2006 7:22 am) We are talking contract law that is covered under the UCC (or like code adopted by state statues) not Tort law. The two are completely different animals. |
