Good.

Wanna buy a new car? Go to Ourisman on Rt.1 by the old-gen Five Guys, ask for Chappy, and walk out with a brand-new Ford, happy as a clam at high tide about a fair deal.

X-plan...*shushhh*

This dude will give you a fair shake. And recycle your motor oil himself when you bring it in for maintenance.

They probably pay near that per day, just in property taxes.

--------------------------
the older law is: 2x the ammount attempted in theft - leaving to question if recovery counts of 1/2 of the penalty

the Good Faith principal has been the law since the first 50 years of Roman law

old law you say? rights for women, but more so engineering code and financial law: were better worked out, and worked better, than what Congress can come up with today

----------------------
commercial law is much older than roman law itself, they say

i'm sure disputes were not always settled with receipts though!

the Good Faith principle is that neither party in a sale or work contract can misrepresent , steal , overbill , etc

you cannot lie in business at all it's been illegal for 3000 years

you can get shot for lying in business and using the courts to bully who you cheated - but that has to be proven first

It's larger than just a 1000 dollar fine. The Auto Manufactures goes ape shit when the company that represents their product does things like this. Not to mention it was probably their online sales staff that was doing this and you can almost bet a few people lost their job.
