Sorry I’m going against the tide here, the dealer acted to quickly .There was no signed contract ,he should have waited till the vehicle was paid for before replacing the $35.00 part.
If the OP said I’ll buy this truck if you paint it orange, do you guys think the dealer would have painted it with out being paid for? I understand a $35 gasket and a paint job don’t cost the same I am saying if the paint job were made as part of the deal.So the way I see it dealer was angry truck did not get sold, kept money out of spite, OP could have said don’t do anything till my wife looks at it..
Generally everything in life is a learning experience. This one cost $135 to the OP and a potential customer to the dealer.I was in business for many years,I personally would have taken the time and found another truck for the OP to buy. But that’s just the way I think.
Well OP put a deposit, and stated they would buy if the dealer replaced the door gasket/seal. I would think for the dealership to take a deposit would require at least a simple deposit agreement.
I doubt very much the retail on the door gasket is $35 and labor to replace. Granted the dealer just improved saleablity of the truck, but might sold without fixing!
Just call it a life lesson!
