Lol you should get right up to signing papers on buying a new Accord or something and then say "Oh WAIT... YOU'RE the dealership that backed out of the eBay GTR?! No thanks." and walk out.

orlly? didnt know that. i just thought that if it came down to going to court... the phone calls, without recording, would just be a he say/she say kinda thing... but i'm sure he has e-mails and stuff too

Making sure they drop slandering charges first. That is the info. Just because he has the car doesn't mean they won't try to sue. - my350z.com

I guess it's just pending hope he gets it... either way I'm stopping by the dealership Friday lol

Sounds like he has plenty of evidence..they even posted "Sold" on some website apparently and then retracted it LOL..
Whether it's a crime depends on the state; some places consent is required from both parties, sometimes just notification is enough..i just wanted to flag it as an issue for OP. It's a potential wiretapping crime.

NYCGP · 08-09-2011, 06:59 PM

Texas law says "a party".. So only one person has to know as long as it is not being done to commit a crime. http://www.rcfp.org/taping/states/texas.html

Here is state by state listing of phone conversation recording laws....

http://www.rcfp.org/taping/states.html

Apparently California thinks its ok to leave a loophole for people to communicate through without being held liable.

Elliott@DetailAddict · 08-09-2011, 07:21 PM

WTF is going on in your facebook default pic Vang?!

Lol anyway from my yelp review...

I hope Ian gets demoted from being in direct contact with customers as he has aptly proven his inability to resolve conflict and in-turn has tarnished the dealerships reputation nationwide.

Inspired · 08-09-2011, 07:25 PM

yeah, wtf is up with the fb picture????

only in alaska..

Uber V8 · 08-09-2011, 07:34 PM

So long as a wire, oral, or electronic communication—including the radio portion of any cordless telephone call—is not recorded for a criminal or tortious purpose, anyone who is a party to the communication, or who has the consent of a party, can lawfully record the communication and disclose its contents. Texas Penal Code § 16.02.

The key word here is tortious. If the OP records the conversation and uses that conversation in legal proceedings then he is breaking the law.
