tgshoe is right ..........it's a federal law and they have to honor the price as marked . That's how I got one of my jeeps . .................Kev

Schu you scare me sometimes.

 

Dad's girlfriend sounds hot!

 

Wait till you can pay cash for it. You wouldn't believe how much prettier it looks paid for........................

 

I admit it's been a very long time, but when I was in law school, one of the major FTC regulations re contract law was that a merchant must honor any price posted on an item for public sale. No exceptions, and there were many cases involving just such a "mistake" where the owner of a business tried to get out of having to accept a payment because some employee made a mistake in pricing. Even the Supreme Court has ruled the merchant must honor the posted price. One case from the Boston area the car dealer had an ad in for some car and said "only 10,500 bananas!" Everyone "knew" that meant dollars, but a guy brought in 10,500 Dole bananas...the dealership laughed at him and told him to hit the road...so he did...right to a lawyers office...the courts ordered the dealership to pay the man all kinds of money (the car was long gone) and they were held responsible for false and misleading advertising with the intent to defraud. businesses really need to be very careful about how they word things, and especially what price they post on items for sale to the public. That's one of the reasons a lot of dealerships are not posting prices on vehicles anymore....except maybe the msrp. Now, having said all that, I'm not sure I'd want to do business with any dealership that would do something like this...and for sure no way I would take the bike back there for service!

 

I stand corrected then.

 

Even if it's the law, I'm happy with the bike I have. I also understand that mistakes happen and people are not perfect. Everybody makes mistakes...........don't WE?

 

Found my bike online listed for a certain price. Go to dealer and it's listed for a grand more. Told them the online price, they pull the webpage and sure enough. They honored the online price w/out my even asking.
