This isn’t an 8 year old kid calling the cops on you because you wouldn’t share your toy with him. Jesus people. This guy isn’t going to get a million bucks 🤣 Sounds like a pretty incompetent dealer if they don’t realize the car had a $5,000 difference. Not to mention, they should’ve never taken the car back in the first place, unless theres a “cooling off period” in VA. ---

I understand wanting to seek damages… I’d be very embarrassed if at your error, you had me handcuffed, arrested, and inconvenienced for hours out of my life with virtually no LEGAL leg to stand on. Millions? eh… probably not even near that number. But its principal, ef that dealer. I’m not going to sue them for 10k and walk away with 3k, I’ll sue them for 3 million and hopefully pay off my over priced traverse, my home, and my childrens college tuition. ---

have to remember that the dealer didn’t make a honest mistake in calling the police, they did it maliciously. ---

I think it’s just principal now with the buyer. he’s probably sitting at home laughing his ass off. id Sue them for as much as possible just because I can, in the same light as them calling the police just because they can ---

I can’t believe the police arrested him without determining the fact that it was legally his car first. ---

> [@tpgsr](#): > > To me it is not the inconvenience of it. It is the arrogance of the dealership. I don’t care if the money goes to the guy or to a charity, I want to see the dealership take a hit for their blatant disregard of the law and this mans rights. Does it suck that they signed the contract? Sure, but that does not mean that they can retaliate in this manner. I have made contractual mistakes that have cost much larger sums of money and I would have never thought of attacking the customer for my error. +1 Dealer fucked up, so the customer get’s arrested? Then the dealer tries to apologize after arresting the guy…pffft I’d be pissed. Hope the guy wins and gets a good chunk of change. Not so much so he’s “rich”, but just to prove what an asshole the dealership was. ---

When everything filters down and washes out, it is EVERYONE who pays to make people rich with these types of lawsuits. ---
