I'm beginning to side with the dealer.

The sale was NOT completed. The buyer gave a posted dated check. The buyer actually had this truck out on spec pending the final closing.

The buyer gave a posted dated check.

I can't find that in the article. Where did you come up with it?

OK, now I'm flip-flopping on the issue like John F'in Kerry. As I read that the dealer was trying to sell a truck that they had $3000.00 into for over $8100, then it looks to me like they were trying to rip off the buyer big time.

I don't know: I never saw a reference to any post dated check in the story or Bill Head's response. But perhaps there was more information on the actual channel 5 story?

Head's statement also mentions the wrong stock number being used for the sale. Having purchased vehicles I know that stock numbers are attached to real products. It seems fantastical that no one realized that the wrong product was being sold when most car contracts consist of multiple signings.

Furthermore there were references to several other complaints against this dealership. I don't know; sounds a little like an inexperienced salesman working with a con artist dealership. Sounds like a case of the good guy winning maybe; especially if the gentleman gets his truck returned.

"The buyer gave a posted dated check."

Seems to me this is irrelevant since if the seller accepted the check, he accepted deferred payment.
