Wtf!! Im Going To Kill This Guy!!!

venom3469 · 09-09-2011, 03:23 PM

Ok as some of you know I am suppose to be purchasing my 335i tomorrow.
I call the guy to day to make sure everything is setup and guess what I find out.

The PIECE OF SHIT SOLD the CAR!!

I have been talking to this guy for 2 damn weeks now! Getting pics, videos, and a car inspection. I even tell the guy because I live in Alabama and he lives in Texas, that I'm going to be flying out. Which will require me to buy tickets, I just didn't want to buy them and he end up selling the car.

I also said if another buyer did present itself tell me first and ill see if ill match. I only got him 1k under his asking. He tells me this guy offers him original price and sell the car!

The bastard even tells me this it's fine and we set up the date that will work out for us both.

So I call the guy back and tell him well guess what the 1k extra you got in your deal! (which if it came down to it I would of paid!) Your going to be paying me 1k in tickets you just cost me! So why the HELL WOULD YOU EVEN THINK OF SELLING IT WHEN I'M COMING LITERALLY TOMORROW! HE KNEW I HAD THE TICKETS PURCHASED! WHAT A PEACE OF SHIT!

Sorry guys but I need to vent!!

Not sure I understand the whole situation and why you are buying a car in Texas when you live in Alabama. But why don't you just put in an order for your own specific car. With a deposit, this would never happen.

Still, your situation sucks. But you may be able to use it as leverage in bargaining for a new car order. Tell him since you were planning on driving it back, you want another $1k off the sticker of a specially ordered car. (Don't let him bully or force you into a sale because he has knowledge you flew down and are hence stuck in a position where you need a car and 'have' to buy. Thats how they get you.)

venom3469 · 09-09-2011, 03:37 PM

I did just get of the phone with my airline. I explained the situation and I got a refund luckily! The only one damn thing to go right today!

KingOfJericho · 09-09-2011, 03:39 PM

Was this from a dealer or a private seller?

It was a private owner in Texas and If you can find me a black on black 08 with 27k miles on it fully loaded 6MT for 35k and under!

Point me in the direction!

They are hard to find and as nice as this one was I will probably never get one like it again!

This was what I was going to get.

Now I'm back on the hunt but damn man that car had everything I wanted for starting out!

infinitekidM2C · 09-09-2011, 03:44 PM

Private owner..lols...your faith in humanity is heartwarming

venom3469 · 09-09-2011, 03:49 PM

I just hope I don't see some kid post a new thread saying, "Just bought a 08 black 335i in Texas today!"

I'll KILL HIM

haha!

NYCGP · 09-09-2011, 04:24 PM

No agreement was in place. Why should he trust that you are going to show up and buy the car when he has someone in front of him with the money? (More money than you were paying)

yakev724 · 09-09-2011, 04:30 PM

Maybe he decided he doesn't want to sell it anymore.

Well because we already contacted each others banks. I had been approved everything was 100% finalized. I had insurance already setup everything. Plane ticket bought! LMAO what more proof do you need man! Not to mention talking to him everyday him sending me several pictures videos. Even offered me a car inspection which he did to ensure me everything was ok!

Then the day before I get on a plane plus setting up a delivery truck to pick up the spare body kit and wheels he had with it! Your telling me we didn't have an agreement? Plus I even brought up this exact scenario to try and to prevent this from happening! (I have all of this in text from him) He says no issue that wouldn't happen and if he did he would call me first for a counter offer. Not a deal? Yeah fucking right!

bolinp78 · 09-09-2011, 04:48 PM

I sense a hint of venom in OP's tone.

.:bHd:. · 09-09-2011, 04:56 PM

so if you were selling your car to someone 4 states over and another LOCAL buyer came along, wouldn't you sell it to the local one right there and then? Who is stupid enough to pass up a guaranteed sale?

stop being a prima donna and grow up. I'm sure you'll find another one soon.

mact3333 · 09-09-2011, 04:57 PM

without a deposit the guy owed you nothing...I had two dealers do the exact same thing to me cause they said "no prob" to a deposit after we agreed to a price, then they sold the car to local people....with the third dealer i demanded that I put a deposit down so they couldnt sell the car after we agreed on price...lessoned learned.

No I wouldn't because I gave him my word. Sorry I have honor in my word and integrity to do the right the thing.

Apparently that doesn't mean anything to people like you and him. Even if he wasn't so called obligated to the sell because of no deposit. (Which I offered)
You would think there are some straight honest people out there.

Grow up you say?

what a joke! Because what he did was mature or grown up at all. Save the 2cents next time!

venom3469 · 09-09-2011, 05:21 PM

Look I'm really not trying to start shit I just did this to vent. Now it is coming off in a negative way. I don"t care about the legalities of the situation, because when its all said and done. I got fucked!

Now Ima smoke a cig and chill out. but

I'm not trying to start shit.

EmmettBrown · 09-09-2011, 05:24 PM

Giving someone your word means nothing when you're selling something, especially a car. Would you take his word for it if he said the car was never in an accident and runs perfect, or would you get a car fax report and have a mechanic check the car out?

You can't go into a business transaction with so much emotion. You will either get your heart broken, or if the seller knows what they're doing, they will make a shit load of money on you (like the $1000 you offered for no reason). You gotta go into it knowing that you don't need it and can walk away from the car any second.

Lack of agreement is not necessarily dispositive. If OP relied on statements made by the seller, and the seller knew that the OP expended $$ in reliance on those statements, then OP might have a case. Ref. Promissory Estoppel.
