A deal is done.

btw: It's funny how many people say the deal is done here, what if buster was a dealer, what would people say? lol

People would rag on the buyer for being a moron paying for the car and then refuse to pick it up.

IANAL. Your obligation is to ship the vehicle, so do that and ghost him like you ghosted me on Tinder. This is definitely may could sometimes be legal advice.

It was entirely my right to say too bad, but the idea of keeping a small deposit seemed reasonable. He offered me a grand to take it back. We settled on 500.

I’m not rocket surgeon, but I don’t think that’s how negotiation works.

[msommers]

Maybe it's my pessimism here...

If Buster and the buyer know each other professionally through the grapevine and are concerned about that relationship....if this guy is asking for the money back after dropping 100K on impulse...to me it seems like he doesn't care about how he looks to Buster?

[Disoblige]

Someone here could offer Buster 85k, he shaves off $15k from first buyer, win-win for all Beyonders involved if it works out.

No - because Buster is popular, they'd launch a social media assault on the dealer "for screwing over my homie". Google and Yelp ratings would plummet. Angry Facebook posts would rain down on them. Someone would "have a connection in the media" and a paralegal/variant would mysteriously offer some free services to "make this right".

RoFL! "Fair is fair...... Unless it fucks me over in the slightest way!"

One of the best comments I've read on here in quite some time.

If it was a deal with a random id be telling the buyer where to pick up his car but since they kinda know each other professionally its not so straight forward. I see the side where this could potentially jeopardize future dealings and with that type of financial circle i definitely wouldnt want to be burning bridges. Busters not in the wrong here at all but the buyer could totally throw him under the bus and make him sound like the pos. I hope one day i get to have this problem trying to sell my super car

The first sale of my corvette went to a younger kid who, as soon as he brought it home, his parents said no way. He asked to bring it back and get his money back.

It was entirely my right to say too bad, but the idea of keeping a small deposit seemed reasonable. He offered me a grand to take it back. We settled on 500.

Seems you take a small fee for your trouble, and move on.

That's pretty nice of you. I bet the lesson he didn't learn cost him even more down the road. Maybe he ended up sending $100K to a guy assuming that car purchases are like buying a toaster oven at Walmart.

This deserves rep as I had the exact same thought. But I guess Kloubek was being nice.

100K is quite a big chunk of change. IMO, I would buy some stocks right now (while it is down) and make profit compared to holding on to the vehicle that depreciates every month.

You know I always struggle with this and always get lectured by family on spending habits etc. Where do you draw the line?

When is it a GOOD time to spend $100K plus on a car? When you're a millionaire? When you're a multi-millionaire? What if you are dead by then?

There is NEVER going to be a good time to splurge on something that's not an investment if all you always want to do is keep saving and making more $. Which is great if that tickles your pickle. But at some point, you have to do what makes you happy and if cars or watches or whatever is one of those things then fuck it. Sure you will save less or make less, but the enjoyment you get out of that is priceless IMO.

Just gotta strike a balance is what I always say. Don't bankrupt yourself. Have your enjoyment within reason all the while doing some investments on the side.

My dad's lectures were always like, "keep saving until you have lots and then you can buy whatever car you want". Like what if I am Kobe'd by then? What if my fucking knees don't work and I can't get in and out of a supercar by then?

I know I can be a lot 'smarter' with money but really do what makes you happy and not what you think you should do.

Anyway, I digress lol. Maybe Buster can send this to the buyer if he's having second thoughts about spending $. Haha.

Why do you guys feel like Buster needs to provide an excuse to keep the money? The only reason he should give is the only one he needs: a deal's a deal.

Yes.

There was an offer & acceptance plus payment. The car is his, deal is done.

Yes.

because its a little less dickish... its not difficult to make someone's life hell for being an asshole....

- - - Updated - - -

Then I guess the purchaser shouldn't be an asshole. If you can't commit to spending 100K here's a thought, don't make a deal and deliver the fucking money. This isn't Buster's fault.

My advice? Don't listen to a lawyer who doesn't know the difference between advise and advice.

So Kloubek is the villain in this story here. If only he would have taught the kid a fine lesson, I wouldn't be able to purchase an AMG GT for $50k for delivery tonight.

Damn, all this time I thought ddduke/dropdat was a jerk. He just taught me a fine lesson in not making bets with douchebags.

Unless the buyer is a very poor money manager this shouldn't be a "one or the other" scenario.
