Jim and Laura Buyer
visit the local car dealership because they are interested in buying a new car.
The car they currently have is aging and is starting to have mechanical problems.
Jim and Laura would share the new car, and use it to go back and forth to work
and school. Before going to the dealership, Jim and Laura decide that they can
only afford $400.00 a month in car payments.
Once at the car
dealership, Jim and Laura meet Stan Salesman. Stan shows them several vehicles
and Jim and Laura test-drive several of the cars. Jim and Laura particularly
like the blue 4-door sedan. Therefore, they agree to give Stan Salesman a
$100.00 deposit to hold the car for a day. Stan Salesman does not give them the
receipt but guarantees that the $100.00 is refundable. No documents were
signed.
The next day, Stan
Salesman calls Jim and Laura to ask them when they would like to take delivery
of the car. Jim and Laura, on the way home from the dealership, decided that
they were not going to buy the car because they did not want to spend that
money each month. Therefore, Jim and Laura tell Stan salesman that they have
decided not to buy the car and request their $100.00 deposit back.
Stan insists that the
$100.00 was a deposit on the car and was meant to be part of the contract to
buy the car. Stan is very persistent and insistent that Jim and Laura have
contracted to buy the car; therefore, the $100.00 will be applied to the
purchase price of the car. Jim and Laura are shocked and angry as not only do
they not want to spend the money, but now feel as though they are being duped
by Stan Salesman.
Jim and Laura have an
appointment to see a lawyer in a few days, but know you are a student taking a
business law class and come to you for advice. They are very frazzled, and
understandably upset that they may have just purchased a car. Since you have
been taking business law, you have read and understand the elements of a
contract and the defenses to a contract. Therefore, although you are not a
lawyer, you provide some basic advice from what you’ve learned in your business
law class.
