Seller BACK OUT Last Minute!

[falco]

Hi Guys,

Just wanna get some advise and opinion. What would you do if your car seller ( I do not want to mention name here) back out last minute after:

1) Paid 1k for deposit

2) You gone through 3 bankers in 3-4weeks time to get the loan approved. And eventually the loan approved. The Banker asked me whether I'm playing.. Coz I was the one chasing on and on. Go on site just to find the officer in charge.

3) Took 3 days leave for the purpose of running to the banker and signing of documents which was agreed by both parties (but last minute back out).

4) Purchased insurance cover note for RM 1740 before knowing he back out last minute.

5) Purchased a stereo high-end thingy for the purpose of the car. Brought from ZTHian.

I felt like being fooled for doing all the above and eventually he back out!!!.. I have all the prove of the above listed thing that I've done.. and it's now for nothing!

What you guys think and the appropriate ways I should go and deal with this. Kindly advise.

Slow talk to him and ask what is happening. If the reasons is not good then bring it to the court/ tribunal since you have lost your money and time.

no need to talk much...just tell the seller..if he want to back out...just pay u back what you've use for all the hassle..

 

[JINEIL2EN]

The reason was he needs to delay it coz he can't get his new car, which I think it's not my problem since it's not in the agreement that he has to get his new car in order to sell this.

falco,

He has 'no call' on this provided he issued you a 'receipt' or a written form of acknowledgement of his sale to you and money u paid to him. You tell him you will bring this to court if he insists and not paying you on damage.

My fren did this stupid 'trick' before due to his new car was postponed by the sales agent and he 'back out' resulting in the buyer issuing warning and thereafter a legal letter because my fren just ignored the warning. The legal letter is the final step before summoning him to court and he at last have to sell lar..as agreed or otherwise pay. In his case, the buyer haven't bought insurance also..just got loan approved and transfer paper ready (bank ready to settle and take over the car).

Like u said urself, not getting his new car is not your problem..is his !
sorry for ur case but wish u good luck in settling this.

cheers

THanks bro for the advise. I have seek advise from my com legal also. They are keen to help.

You mentioned he eventually has to sell or pay otherwise. But it's just not the right feeling anymore to buy the car going through all the legal procedures right? What do you think?..

I do have written prove of him receiving my deposit and prove from the bank officer that my loan was well approved on the week of 20th Dec 04.

Besides that I have a cover note issued on 23th Dec 04. DO you guys think this is sufficient to claim for damage?

 

[simonchangwaimun]

if his reason is due to "delay of his car arrival"
the only action u can take is to force him sell his car
the courts will decide that way too...
unless he ENTIRELY do not wish to sell his car to u (he wanna keep it,or sell to other party) then he have to pay u back the money u spent,as well as other special damages (this is the best part): time,distress,transportation,inconvenience "and everything under the sun"

 

[ezwong2002]

falco, i pity you. Even if u get the car eventually.. already potong stim.. ask the seller to compromise to a level whereby u both can agree b4 going to court or whatever. thats the best i think.. unless the seller totally ignores you.

 

[XaMaX]

hah..u already get so many advice....what ya waiting for..but the best it...sit down in with the seller...talk kok sing osng settle it.

The seller just do not want to sell. I am waiting for his reply by today. I have seek for 1.5k. That's it! Nothing more I asked. I think this is very reasonable. See what he gotto say.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the avise. Best rgds, Merry X'mas and Happy NEw Year my fellow ZTHians...

Post Him Name NIck here!!! Teach Him to Fuck around!!!

 

[falco]

No Name mentioned as I'm not taking revenge. I'm just seeking for compensation of my lost and my stupidity running about for nothing.

It cost me 300bucks for the three days leave I've taken. I managed to cancel my insurance cover note, but it still got charged!

As for the bank, same also.. got to decline and maybe pay for the docs preparation thingy.. Am not sure bout this... Phew it's not just that. I am fishing for another car now. Anybody has a scooby GC8 for sale?.. preferably yr 96 and above...

Not to forget the telephone charges for calling and smsing. At the end I got story!!..

Cheers!

 

[alvin24]

Think if u win the court case liau... dun buy the car! Else u surely won't be able to live in peace... coz' he'd probably do something to it every time he sees it.

Sorry to hear this... life's a b*tch... especially when u come across b*tch a** people like these...!

if u force him to sell, he could trash the car before passing over to u.

I think this is the major concern. Make some compromise with the seller if possible...if not dont buy the car and seek damages from him!!!

 

[falco]

Great opinions guys.. That's what on my mind as well... But I guess the seller is not a bastard anyway... he got his own concern as well.....

No matter what, I will settle this with him in the gentlemen way.....

 

[gti88]

we sms-ed each other close to or more than 50 times, agreed price,
agreed on location of meet up, agreed time, then later, he say he dont want !
