I don't even blame the dealership itself, but certainly do the salesman and I guess whatever manager signed off on the deal. If they did try to unwind the deal at this point, the dealer would basically have to swallow the 20k that the boyfriend dumped on her, because they have long since sold his truck.

I'd still sue. Any jury would financially unwind that sale, I'm reasonably confident. And by that I mean she'd give the jeep back, and the dealership would have to give her however much money to reset the transaction to how it was beforehand.

Man where do you live? Cali or NY? Mine is close to that and more than twice that square footage.

Less than that RENTING 1800 sq ft canalfront here ($1500/mo).... If I buy a similar place (probably will, renting this year to get a feel for where I want to buy - pretty sure I'll be buying on the island too) - around half of that. ($900/mo estimated mortgage on zillow for one of the cheaper places I'm eyeballing for the future - of course the expensive one I'd love to see come up would be around $2.5k/mo... 4.5k sq ft with water on THREE SIDES with a state park directly across the water - it's a beauty)

Yeah, but at what cost in terms of legal fees, with no guarantees, and in a process that would probably take a year or more. She's fucked.

Deceptive trade practices statutes usually have attorneys fees built in as part of damages (so that poor people aren't stopped from bringing successful actions based on attorneys fees) so any settlement would include fees.

I saw one when I was clerking which was a bad faith insurance denial (which also has attorneys fees) and the actual damages in the case were like $40k. The attorney fees and expenses by the end were like $1M. Defendant ended up paying like 1.1M on a $40k claim. Idiots.

Yea, looked at Mass briefly, prices looked insane on real estate, not much better than NYC.

It's pretty expensive, but by rapey I think Vinen is referring to my chances of being raped while walking the street.

There's a lot of "it depends" in there, particularly if your case falls under ERISA. Without getting into specifics it'd be hard to say, and of course it'd depend on what state.

Still curious to know which area of town she lived in. Given that Arlington is like 5.5 square miles.

In my town there's been one murder in the past 20 years or something crazy, I think 0 rapes, but my town is really small. You go over to the bridge to Fall River and it's practically rape central. I think if you can walk through without getting murdered, stabbed, robbed, or raped you can call it a good day.

Heh, that doesn't necessarily mean anything - old house, you go like three or four blocks away (less than a mile) and you go from our moderately high value neighborhood to a street that had like a dozen hits on sex offender registries. Never saw a crime the ~10 years there as an adult and only a handful when I lived there as a child growing up. Neighborhoods can be really weird that way.

Well we have the school in our backyard, so at least I know there isn't a sex offender on my street.. yet..

It also helps if you document it, in the event you're looking for a conceal carry permit. Especially in areas (such as NYC) where it's otherwise impossible to get.
