My husband and I went to a boat show and made the decision to finally upgrade our boat to a 2011 Supra. However, since we didn’t like the color of the boat that they were selling at the boat show we decided to just order one that was specific to our likings. To get the boat show pricing the sales rep made my husband sign a blank “Bill of Sale” from Supra. He said that he would fill in the form once we emailed him exactly what we wanted on the boat.
It’s been about two weeks since the boat show. Here are the issues that we have had so far.
*Got approved for the loan, but their loan provider was requiring us to shell out 20% down. Which to be honest, we don’t have $12K liquid at this time. My husband and I discussed downgrading the boat to a smaller size and getting rid of some options to make the price of the boat go down. We asked for a detailed list and new price on the boat. (still haven’t got)
*Then my husband got us approved for the full loan amount with lower interest through USAA. So we wanted to go ahead and add the options that we wanted and then some more extras, like spare tire, under water lights, etc. We told the rep that “we came into some money” and that we would like a new price on the boat with all the extra options that we wanted to add, knowing that we wouldn’t be going through their creditor. (still haven’t got it)
*By now we have asked the rep through several emails and phone conversations for a detailed printout of the sales price. The rep has been very evasive and very inconsistent with the prices.
It’s now to the point where we don’t want to do business with this marina anymore. My question is, if we signed a blank bill of sale (with no money down), are we then responsible for the cost of the boat?
**Note: I’m not looking for answers like “you are screwed!!!”, “Hate to be you!”, “You are dumb!” I’m looking for legal advice. And if we are responsible if we decide to not buy this boat from them?|||You have not signed a purchase contract. You only agreed to purchase a boat at a specified price. Until you have signed a full purchase and disclosure contract, you are not obligated to anything. Tell the salesman to forget it, you don't like the way he keeps jerking you around. If he balks, tell him you will buy elsewhere. If he does not produce the results, take your business elsewhere.|||I think you already know the answer to this question.......seek professional legal advice! Although most of us here at YA boats try to help all with their boating problems, contract law can be anything but simple, and there is no substitute for sound legal advice from a trusted attorney.|||hate to be you..u are sooo screwed..OK got that done now
1 the singing was a bad move..but it appears it was used for loan Application..
2 you are NOT responsible or forced to buy a boat,,,a contract is an agreement between 2 party's..there is NO agreement
3 you have no money down to fight over...send a registered letter to boat/marina guy stating you are not buying a boat from him and severing all business dealings,,be polite and firm...
THERE...fell better..learn anything??|||This is actually very simple. Send an email saying that you no longer want to continue with the purchase of any boat. Follow that up with a registered letter. End of story.
Signing a blank bill of sale, or even a "purchase agreement" that does not specify exactly what you are purchasing, and the exact price, nullified the purchase. The dealer might be in the middle between you and the Builder who might not have his pricing established for the 2011 model of the boat you want. But, at this point I think the communications have broken down to the point it's best if both sides just walk away.
