Internet Price Qoute

[gomst1]

I live in California
Via internet, a local car dealer quoted me $27,340 for a van by salesman "A" via email. I ordered the van. Saleman "A" was reassigned to a different position. I was passed on to salesman "B". Salesman "B" wants $250 more ($27,590). I could not convince him to honor price quote of salesman "A". I bought
the van anyway at salesman "B" price.

Was the original price quote via email a valid contract. Do I have a chance to get the $250 back in a small claims court.

Small claims court doesn't require the same evidentiary rules. So, it sounds to me as you MIGHT have a case, but no one can predetermine the outcome. Go ahead, give it a shot.

I doubt that you would win in Court because you had a chance to walk but you agreed to pay the $250 more and knowing this increase, you bought the van anyway.
No one forced you to pay $250 more.

HomeGuru....
You're correct. When she accepted the higher offer, she waived claims to the prior offer.
Sorry, my only excuse... I suffered a 'brain fart'!

Thanks everyone for the quick response.
I guess I will have to think twice before going to court.
