One odd story. I find myself sympathizing with the plumber, but . . .
Why would they sell the truck without painting over the name/logo?
What auto dealership thinks it can sell such a white elephant?
Who are you talking about? The dealership or the plumber?
From an earlier story, the plumber went to peel off the decals, but the salesperson said they'd do it, otherwise the paint would be damaged.
The dealership saved money by not peeling off the decals...
>>Why would they sell the truck without painting over the name/logo?<<
MUI removing the logo would have ruined the paint (although doesn’t the logo sort of do that?).
Anyway, this is a frivolous suit since there is ZERO legal obligation to change the vehicle in any way before reselling it, nor is there a requirement to vet the buyer.
If the original owner didn’t want his logo on the truck he should have removed it himself or at least put a clause in the sales contract the buyer would do so with a liquidated damages clause.
This is going nowhere.
Why would he sell the truck with his company name painted on the side? Did the dealership charge him to paint over it (by reducing the resale value) and was that documented in the sales contract?
I would never sell a vehicle with my company’s name on it. Even if it doesn’t go to terrorists, it could just go to some local jerk who would spread a lot of bad will by driving rudely.
Had 2 brothers from the ME who would buy every rear wheel drive Chevy Caprice or Bonneville I got hold of. They would pay several times the actual worth to get them. Said they used them for taxis and could not buy front wheel drive cars because the sand played hell with them.
This was around 90-91 never knew what happened to them the cars dried up and so did they.
Apparently there is a market for used trucks in the ME.
I traded in a truck once and quite a few months later I got a letter from the highway patrol to pick up my abandoned vehicle...
Are you kidding? I’d pay good money for a ford if it came with a ZU-23 in the bed!
