Don't sweat it they are all bark no bite.

 

Eek, should have stocked the whole car, but as others said, they can't do anything once things are signed.

 

One poster indicated that, in many states, a verbal contract is binding. This is true. The challenge will be to determine what, exactly, was agreed through that discussion. This is, I presume, why the sales manager is so upset, as he recognizes he doesn't have much to stand on here and took you for your word that the car was stock when you turned it in. It is certainly possible that they could try to sue you for failing to meet your contract requirements (verbal or otherwise) but I doubt that it is worth the expense and a lawyer will tell them that it might be a difficult suit to win. Finally, and this is key, I suspect your paperwork indicates that it is the last and final agreement and that the document supersedes anything agreed to orally or otherwise - read it carefully.

Did you give them the stock DP and any other stock parts you didn't have time to replace? You might do that as a good faith gesture without discussing whether it was agreed to or not. Finally, I would, presuming you have that contract language (which is usually designed to protect them in the event the salesman promised something) then wait for them to make their next move. If that contract language doesn't exist or expressly indicates that the written contract is binding only so much that both parties agree that any other verbal or written agreements have been satisfied, contact a lawyer for a quick discussion. Might be worth the $300 to understand your risks and get peace of mind.

 

You weren't malicious in your intent and you're trying to make it right so I'd say drop off the stock D/P and maybe order an intake bracket from Mitsubishiparts.net or from elsewhere and drop that off as well. I'm not an expert on contract law but I'd say you're free and clear, all the paperwork is done and you're in possession of your car. As others have stated the cost of a lawyer is too great to warrant any kind of legal action for such minimal repairs and them asking you for $4K in repairs is just beyond obscene. They're butt hurt over that because this is a case of a thief being robbed.

 

verbal contract or not, it's his word against your's. best response you could have when confronted about this is "i don't recall xyz."

 

No worry enjoy.

 

[QUOTE=TSiAWD666;10158022]A verbal contract is binding in many states. It's pretty ****ty of you to be trying to screw them over on the deal and go back on your word. Good luck but you're in the wrong here.[/QUOTE

^^^ THIS! You didnt hold up your end of the deal and you are wondering why they are mad and what it is they can do..? It doesnt mattter that its too hard or you dont have the parts. Stand up, be a man of your word and deliver what it is you say your going to do no matter how hard it is. YOU AGREED to do it. This is a matter of trust, responsibility and respect and your only concern isnt to do whats right but what recourse they have against you?-- Unreal. I am at a loss for words.....

 

Should be fine. It's your call on whether you make it right or not but after getting yelled at and demanding $4k I know I wouldn't be doing jack for them. Enjoy the new gsr!

 

[QUOTE=meckert;10158632]He did say he was will to take care of the DP but 4k is just stupid

 

My brother in law works for toyota as a salesperson. He said the mitsu can take back the car easily by contacting the bank that financed me and telling them that they paid too much for the car and to reject the loan. He said banks would do that for them cause the dealerships make money for these banks and they got pull. The only way they cant take the car if mitsu sent all final paperwork to the bank regarding the deal on the car. Its only been couple of days so he thinks mitsu has the contract still.

 

This thread makes it no longer just a "verbal agreement" as all of the details are outlined in this thread. A good lawyer can, and will, find this thread and use it to prove their case.

Just do the right thing (which you are trying to do) and drop off the stock DP and buy an intake bracket (as others have stated). That should make things right with the dealer.

They CANNOT legally ask you to pay $4k for any other items they feel need to be replaced. None of that was part of your legal or in-writing agreement with the dealership.

 

My bro in law also says that mitsu losy money on the deal after looking at the deal i got. He also says that getting 2 new oem projector headlights costing about $2k makes it even worse. The written contract mitsu and i had was they would swap the projector lights from the 2010 SE and install it on the new gsr. While doing the install, the mechanic says the old X SE might not work due to the base headlights so the manager had no choice but to give me new projector lights cause it was written on the deal. My bro in law says their trying to recouperate what their loosing in the deal by trying to charge me for the missing **** on the trade in. He says to go to mitsu and offer to have the dp installed and take the intake bracket from my new gsr.

He was reading all the comments here and he was laughing at the comments on what i should say to the dealer lol. He says you cant just ignore the situation. If mitsu wants to make trouble for me, that they actually do that.

Anyways im off to go to mitsu now. Keep you guys updated.

 

[QUOTE=khmerguyx;10158676]Agree-- Fact is he should have taken care of his obligations and agreed upon fixes before hand. He got caught and only after that has the OP offered to fix the problem.

 

They said i need to replace the PCM/computer because i had the car tuned before and they cant sell the car like that.

 

Tell the guy to ef off and don't forget to say thanks for the new gsr
