> [@slwrthnu](#): > > Of course it is, but the legal field has it’s own language, even though it’s in English, and it’s own way of writing. After a semester of law school you haven’t had experience in translating that back in a way that somebody outside of the field will understand. He’s making fun of your shit grammar, not your legalese. I love law students - they think they know what they’re talking about but its blatantly obvious they have no clue what they’re talking about. I know this because I was once a law student who thought he knew what he was talking about. ---

If you guys want to talk grammar then start a thread about it. Otherwise stay on topic or I’ll move the posts and start one for you. ---

Then I’m not really concerned, I know I have shit grammar, but it’s the internet, I don’t go back and proof read then wait a few hours so I can go back again and edit. And if it’s blatantly obvious I don’t know what I’m talking about besides grammar then please explain, as I actually have no issue with being told I’m wrong if there is actual feedback. But I figured since this is a concept you learn in the first few weeks of class and I did very well in the class I could try to shed some light on it. And I drew the conclusion based on the fact that I said I hoped it was understandable. ---

My guess is she came in for an inspection or some minor repairs and was told her vehcile was unsafe to drive. They then produced a $4k+ repair bill she couldn’t afford but offered to get her in something safer for $300 a month. Probably threw her in an 84 month term, at 8%, then slapped on a VSC and GAP for over $5k. All while holding her keys since she hadn’t paid for the repairs or inspection on her altima. Did anything illegal happen, who knows unless it was recorded. But put a single mother with 3 crying kids in front of a Judge during re-election on a story making national headlines and you never know how it could go. ---

The court won’t look at the case and throw it out until someone files a request for judicial intervention. At this point her lawyer, who probably also has piss poor grammar, is going to try to shake down the dealership before even bringing it to a judge’s attention. 2. In a false imprisonment case she has to be under the _perception_ that she can’t leave. You won’t know that until you get a deposition from her (again, before any judicial intervention). 3. Summary Judgment is only granted when there is no dispute of facts. Here, there is definitely a factual dispute. 4. Doing well in a class in law school does not translate to success in the legal world. Large testicles are what translates to success in the practice of law. That, and knowing someone who can get you a job out of school. ---

Why would anyone complain about being sold GAP coverage? 🤣 Classic case of person driving $700 car having buyer’s remorse after their co-worker who also drives an equally junk car, says they could have done better. ---

Probably a last day of the month deal. I know when I sold cars (which was a shitty dealership, but oh well) that if we couldn’t close a deal within a couple minutes of closing, we’d have to set an appt. with the customer for the next day. Unless it was the 29th-31st of the month. Then they’d stay open til the last customer left. Gotta get them bonuses. ---

Sounds like the old Saratoga Nissan. People need to be aware that dealerships can be sleazy but you also have to have the balls to say the deal sucks and walk out. ---
