Same dealer? Back in '65 I'd ordered a car from a dealership...while waiting for the order, they got a car in stock that I thought I'd like better. Not a problem making the switch. But then, the one I liked better had a higher sticker, so that was probably a factor.

That is if Rick called first thing this morning to tell them he wanted the other car. Denis, interesting thing about 3-day cooling off periods and in-home sales for contracting, etc. in CA. If the customer signs the contract in the office, there is no grace period. If the contract is signed at the customer's residence, or any other venue say like the customer's office or a home show, the 3-day period is valid. |
If you want to see how 'set in stone' the deal is, ask if you get the same trade in price after the accident you had Sunday...
They can't hold you to it if you didn't take possession and they don't have your trade. If you had left with the new car they could have claimed your trade in is gone... |
^^^ this.
Even if they were to sue you, they would have to establish damages. On this case maybe an hour of an admin’s time. $25? |
Guys, this is not an adversarial thing. The salesguy emailed me back today, reminding me that the 430i was the first car I sat in and that I had decided against it due to less backseat space and that the 320i was more in line with my work and lifestyle (driving a ton for work and hauling band gear). I really think he was on the ball and listening to me. However, I will take a look at the 430i on Wed. when I go to swap cars. If it really grabs me, and I will know the feeling if it does, that's when I'll put my foot down.

It will be sold.

I think you need to find out if you're obligated to take the 320i, which I seriously doubt you are. Assuming you're not, you have the leverage to make sure they give you a fair deal on the 430i and if they don't, you can walk away from both. You need to know you that you don't have to get hammered if you switch to the 430i. They would rather sell you one car than none. Don't spend a minute worrying about the commission the salesman is making on one or the other, or making up the difference. If you walk away from both, toss him a couple of hundred dollars if you want for you clear conscience on wasting his time. Very few people do that, but it's a classy move.
|
The only thing between you and the 430i is money. Ask the dealer for a number, they are not going to walk away from a chance to take more of your money.

If I were you, I'd have let the dealership know about this already. They are going to be more amenable to changing cars if they haven't already filled out the MSO in your name on the car you did buy.
|
I wonder if you can convince Mrs Lee to get the 320, you get the 430 and swing a heckuva deal?
|
My guess is that they would be happy to keep the wheels of commerce moving, seems like, at this point , it just paper work. No?
|
I checked with a dealer I know in AZ, and he said they need delivery to complete the deal.
|
and this car is pre-owned, should simplify the process significantly

Consensus in PARF is that has never happened... ;) |
That seems like a decent sized car for a 4cyl even if its a turbo......
Nice looking though. |
