that sums up the whole situation, lol
How much cheaper? And under what condition? Same bike different dealer? Did the program/discount/price change from that time to now? If so then you can ask for the factory credits to be applied to your bike because you haven't taken possession yet. Some dealers would actually put the credit towards the bike if they change b/w time of purchase and pick-up, but that depends on the dealer, and if YOU are even made aware of the program. We've done it before where a program changes b/w deposit and pick-up and have adjusted the client's invoice to match. If it goes the opposite way we kept as is as they were 'locked in' at the lower price / better deal let's say.
Honestly, call the dealer and talk to them to see what's going on, or play the poor card and say you can't afford insurance after you checked...blah blah blah...
I’m curious to know how many of the peanut gallery have ever returned an item to a store, for any reason. This is a return like any other, which I’m clearly entitled to according to the contract, regardless of the penalties.
I don’t remember the contract saying I become labelled a “liar” or “untrustworthy” if I decide I no longer like or agree with any term of the contract lol.
If I decide I don’t want to give more of my hard earned money than I think it’s worth, guess what, not going to
To all the critics, the contract actually states that I will receive my full deposit back if I wish
ANyways, thanks again to all who offered some genuine answers, not sure how the mods work here but might be best to lock this thread before the gallery feels the need to lash back and stray further from the original subject. Thanks guys.
This is 100% correct. If he bought the bike at the January show, "storage fees" alone could add up to $1000 real quick and OMVIC won't do crap about it.Technically, if you bail on the contract you could be liable for whatever $ DIFFERENCE exists when the dealer finally sells the machine - if there is any.
e.g. The bike is $10K and you put down $1k deposit.
The dealer ends up selling it for $8K, you lose your up-front and COULD be on the hook for the remaining $1K.
Good advice, I agree. I do believe it would be a good move on their part to work with me on the adjusted price as it’s only going to secure my business in the future, as someone else mentioned, this obviously isn’t the forever bike and the better they treat me now the more likely I am to return for my next purchase as well as maintenance, parts, equipment, etc...
Its funny how we always see both types of people in these threads, some who come to offer genuine advice, and others who forget their no better than anyone else and are quick to pass judgement. I’m curious to know how many of the peanut gallery have ever returned an item to a store, for any reason. This is a return like any other, which I’m clearly entitled to according to the contract, regardless of the penalties. “My word” really has very little to do with the situation, it’s a purchase just like any other. I don’t remember the contract saying I become labelled a “liar” or “untrustworthy” if I decide I no longer like or agree with any term of the contract lol. If I decide I don’t want to give more of my hard earned money than I think it’s worth, guess what, not going to! To all the critics, the contract actually states that I will receive my full deposit back if I wish, but that I may be subject to any costs incurred or losses, by the dealer, at their discretion, which, I’ve not once complained or denied obligation, I’ve only been hopeful that that won’t be the case. We can all get along here guys, just came for some friendly advice, no need lay into people to make yourself feel superior for a moment in time.

thing. It's a what ever was agreed to in the agreement thing."if I decide I no longer like or agree with any term of the contract"
So you think that cancelling a vehicle purchase is akin to returning that big screen TV to Walmart that you you really only wanted for Superbowl night?

I haven't been part of a stupid GTAM thread for a while.
You have 3 options and none are under your control.
1- ask the Dealer, if they say no then you have 2 options left
2- Pay
3- Lose the deposit.
I am so glad I took the time to come check with GTAM.
Let us end this thread with that comment
