Sorry I missed that. But that same papragraph referenced the sales' manager or some such's acceptance of the deal. Also there are many reasons for a postdated check (paydates and such). The dealership's use of the term implied acceptance of said item as a condition of the sale (in other words they knew about it). Now it may well be that it was meant to be a downpayment (It sounds like that too me).
But the buyer: Still pursuing this, also indicates to me a sense that he felt he was wronged and is not just some guy out for a freebie.
One thing I'd like to know is how long Heard has been in business. Generally speaking long-established businesses don't all of a sudden resort to cheating (absent a change in management or ownership).
From what I understand the buyer owed $14.7K on a $14K car. So basically there was no trade in. There was no mention of a note, and the only other consideration was a post dated check for $8100.00.
So did this clown really think he was gonna get away with buying a $22K truck for just $8100?
As bad as this is, it looks like the dealer was thinking they were selling a $3000 truck, and getting some fool to pay $8100 for it.
Like I said, both parties were loooking for overkill, but neither one won.
