Selling your car is a pitfall
I spent weeks trying to sell my BMW. Tyre kickers. Stupid offers. Dealerships offering me nothing.
Finally found a dealer who offered a fair price. Drove the car to them. Signed the contract. Agreed $15,500. Delivered the vehicle in the exact condition they inspected and accepted.
Then waited four days for payment that never came.
Every time I called — it’s in the mail, check your spam, it’s with management, it’s being processed.
Then suddenly — after four days of nothing — they raised an oil leak as a reason to pay less.
Here’s what I want you to know:
They inspected the car before signing. The contract was signed. The price was agreed. A mechanical issue they could have identified at inspection has no legal basis to change the deal.
I sent a letter of demand yesterday.
The lesson: always get a signed contract. Know your rights. And never let someone rewrite an agreement after the fact.
