good luck with sale, i was going to get a brz also but my g/f said why not the lotus exige since i like that car more, so no more brz for me as of now.

 

Where did you find a CF driveshaft already? Also what brand made the shark fin? Is it a generic one or BRZ/frs specific?

If you want you can do some doughnuts in my frs with your wife to show her how fun they are

 

tell the wife to **** off! you are a big doy and if you want something you get it. Sorry for the loss of a car

 

Or trade her in for a newer model

 

if ya dont have any kids with her yet do what vladi says and get a new model... if u have kids, its cheaper to keep her. i hounded my wifey for over a year b4 she finally gave in...

 

Not really two comparable cars imo, I hope you've driven one and know what you'd be getting yourself into. Start spending time on lotustalk.com if you haven't already.

(had one and loved it, just warning you)

 

If you haven't taken delivery or SIGNED THE FINANCE PAPERWORK then you haven't bought the car. Go to your dealership and ask for your deposit back. You have NOT bought the car yet.

 

Yah wrxgirl08 is right if you havnt signed anything it's not yours. I work at a dealership and talked to the salesmen about it they said the same.

 

I am a sales consultant at a dealership a deposit is not binding. Also, in case anyone is interested we don't mark up at my dealership. Go to the dealership and demand your deposit back, then bring in your wife to mind and i'll talk her into another one!

 

Just out of curiosity: how is a deposit not binding?
Isn't that the whole point of a deposit? Like you're giving a person money to represent the fact that you will in fact buy the car no matter what unless said car is not what was described in sales negotiation, etc. Or is it different between private sellers and dealerships?

 

A deposit at a dealership is basically just holding your spot in line. Not binding at all Like pre ordering a video game or movie.


Private seller is different. Kinda whatever you and the private seller agree upon. I'm sure there are laws to protect private sellers and buyers but much harder to enforce.

 

Nothing is final until the finance paperwork is signed and you've taken the car home. If you have a deposit on a car the dealer won't sell it out from under you. But this car isn't technically his yet so he can't sell it. And it isn't like it's hard to sell these cars if someone backs out. BRZ's are in high demand because no one has them. If he can't afford to buy the car or his wife won't let him he can go to the dealer, explain that, and get his deposit back before the car even arrives. A deposit reserves the car for you. You haven't officially bought it yet. Understand? I don't know why this guy would want to take a hit and lose money by buying a brand new car and selling it right after.

 

Yah def some part of the story we don't have like I said in my first post my friend had a deposit on a BRZ decided to buy an FRS instead and just went and got his money back from Subaru. Not even a hassle.

 

^because legally in CA you can get your money back.

 

Got it. Thanks
