Replying to: tidester (Aug 01, 2006 9:26 am) But while I got you here I want to repeat a question. That I asked here... Post #2565 I can use my personal account to share some videos of stuff with our cars if it is ok with the hosts. I will make sure you cannot see the dealership name anywhere on the videos. Is that go or no go?

Replying to: dc_driver (Aug 01, 2006 9:04 am) Car dealers usually don't sue for slander... they stay out of court whenever possible... hard to find a sympathetic jury, see... -Mathias (Who has never been taken for a ride by a car dealer yet. Private sellers have tried...)

Replying to: jmonroe (Aug 01, 2006 8:02 am) Here in Orlando, there was a news article about Bill Heard being fined $250K by the state of Florida for deceptive practices. And I agree with the folks about being careful with what you say on public fora.

Replying to: dc_driver (Aug 01, 2006 9:04 am) If you don't believe me then go to a public forum and start spouting off about Tom Cruise and his religion. Again I'm not saying that BH isn't always above board, I don't know the dealership or the man himself and have no dog in this hunt. I am just saying that to call someone a "Thief" based on what some folks say could get 'sticky' in the legal sense. Just because we are using the Internet and Edmunds as a Public Forum doesn't give anyone the right to just spout off dergrading names to people. That's all I'm going to say on the subject.

Replying to: afk_x (Aug 01, 2006 7:42 am) Bingo! Apparently this practice is alive and well because I have been presented invoice papers before that were much higher(about $800) than what I had calculated from various sources. I stuck to my guns and the dealership came down to my price. It sounds as if the liar was the salesmanager...not you. You were a party to the lie. But, it would not have been a good career move to tell the customer your boss had printed up a false invoice number. Would be interesting to have you go through some therapy to help you remember the traumatic "details", as yours was an interesting story. |

Replying to: dc_driver (Aug 01, 2006 10:27 am) Unless...........Bill Heard should join us here as a member.  Then of course, under the membership agreement, we would all have to treat him with respect. |

Replying to: jmurman42 (Aug 01, 2006 5:40 am) There is nothing actionable in that statement, and I welcome the opportunity to prove that that's not slander. This isn't England - the truth *is* proof against a slander lawsuit. And I can't imagine that someone who could look at those consumer complaints would think that "thief" and "criminal" aren't words that could be used, even if only as a bit of hyperbole. |

Replying to: british_rover (Aug 01, 2006 9:36 am) I didn't realize the original post contained a question. I don't see a problem as long as what you post cannot be construed as solicitation or advertising. tidester, host
