But making that profit is just some sweet apple pie

So, if you were to sign the paperwork, just as you were about to drive away, could you run back in and say, sorry, I can't buy this car after all, my spouse agreed on the wrong price with you?You won't believe what just happened. After signing the paper work and everything. Booked my Lyft to leave the dealership. The GM ran out and got me back in. They said they couldn't honor the deal. I was like WTF? I signed the papers. He said he would have to lower the price because some other GM gave me an incorrect offer. He couldn't sell it more than the MSRP. He said he would have to shred the agreement. I'm like whatever I'm going to find a lawyer and seek legal action. This is a breach of contract. Good thing I still have a copy of the signed document. This is Tidwell Ford in Kenessaw Georgia. Shady assholes.
dude, if you have a check, go cash it. If it bounces, sue their ass.You won't believe what just happened. After signing the paper work and everything. Booked my Lyft to leave the dealership.

Unless it was financed, in which case, you're reliant on the dealer holding up their end of the bargain with paying off the loan.dude, if you have a check, go cash it. If it bounces, sue their ass.
It doesn't matter. He gave them his vehicle for consideration. Consideration was provided based on a signed contract. Dealer took possession as soon as that exchange occurred.Unless it was financed, in which case, you're reliant on the dealer holding up their end of the bargain with paying off the loan.
You misunderstand.It doesn't matter. He gave them his vehicle for consideration. Consideration was provided based on a signed contract. Dealer took possession as soon as that exchange occurred.
Once the contract was signed and the exchange occurred (unless the contract specifically says the dealer can change their mind), it is legal and binding.
Er go, cash the check.
Edit: I think it is illegal for a dealer to take in a car and not pay off the loan in most states. That would be a huge problem for the dealer.
I did not misunderstand. As I pointed out, that would be breach of contract. Dealers get into a shit ton of trouble not paying off vehicles. That's why it rarely happens.You misunderstand.
It's not as simple as cashing the check for the selling price minus the 10-day payoff quote.
If financed, the dealer has only given you a check for a portion of the selling price.
So if they refuse to honor the deal, then you'll need to pursue legal action to enforce the sale contract. Or allow them to back out with no consequences. You can't just cash the check and say "sorry, it's done".
Once again:I did not misunderstand. As I pointed out, that would be breach of contract. Dealers get into a shit ton of trouble not paying off vehicles. That's why it rarely happens.
So, yes you can cash the check. Legally, it is the dealer's vehicle. They cannot sell it with a lien on it and are contractually obligated to pay off that lien.
You misunderstand.

A contract is a contract. They have all the resources, knowledge, and power in this deal; you don't. lol at them trying to back out.
