Just guessing, he didn’t give up so easy… he had little choice… he admitted the negotiated price was higher… he asked if the numbers were right twice, a hint yes, but is not pointing out the mistake that was known only by the buyer at that time…

I am not sure he leveled with us about his attorneys remarks either… “I could hang on to it, but that it would take several months and a lot of money before I ever saw the title/tags”… chances are it would take much longer than a few months and the vehicle is parked in limbo and unusable during this time, and a lot of money was a understatement… the buyer would still have to find financing for the contested sale without the dealers help, and pay a lot of money in attorney’s fees to the contested amount…
