    What a perfect way to handle such a silly situation. This should be a case study in business school.

    vrdjs = loser

    Thank God I'm not in a business where I have to deal with customers like that.

    Must go to Costco and get another pallet of popcorn - just ran out, and only halfway thru this thread. Hilarious!

    This one obviously did not have the "handling package."

    Geez, lots of inexperienced posters here :). Everyone knows that before buying a $300K car from a dealer you don't know, you let them "audition" by buying a $20K POS. If they treat you right, then you buy the real car. Call it cheap insurance ;)

    My 1999 green hardtop with blue body Miata sits behind my 2016 Cali T. Miata is a great track car and easy to fix when putting nothing but hard miles on the car!

    So I am still confused. We have a written response from Roy.....who is the dealer that did not sell this car to the OP..... offering a settlement. Why isn't there any response from CNC, the dealer that actually sold the car to the OP. I'd love to hear what their response is.

    Why should CNC respond? Their reputation does not seem to be at stake. If I was them I would stay silent.

    Because it would be the right thing to do. But from what I've seen of CNC, their silence is not surprising.

    OP bought the car from CNC in state of CA. CNC paid Roy, in another state, for a car, with a known defect stated clearly.

    CNC brought it to CA, and sold it. Disclosures, etc. in state of CA are on CNC, not Roy.
    OP did end run after talking to Roy. So Roy wholesaled it to CNC.
    He did NOT have to offer any assistance at all, but he did.

    So, in the state of purchase, CNC is dealer of record. Simple

    Upon reading your post, and the accompanying vitriol, I would direct the question at yourself.

    Appears the mods are sitting this one out as the herd stampedes, or are just unable to decipher ****.

    this.

    And I believe Roy [catsexotics] as I've read his postings to be tough but on point. However, and I apologize for stirring this pot, find what Roy did to the sale as very questionable and/or wrong to interject into the transaction.

    I don't get Roy's desire to interject into the sale after the fact [where does it end] or CNC's lack of response to this entire transaction.

    Don't know if CNC is on the site to respond in kind, but honestly Roy IMO should have referred this to CNC and stayed out of the conversation.

    I've seen this a lot from Ferrari people [lambo now in this case] to feel they have some karma[?] or honor[?] or business attachment [???] to some deals to 'muddy the waters' by offering a circumvent of a business deal by throwing out the solid transaction and offering 'stuff' in the mix.

    Please, Roy included, correct me and put me in my place, why did this subsequent interaction from Roy take place?

    I'm appreciative Roy shows a lot of backbone but honestly don't know why in this case.

    color me dumb in CA.

    Roy probably felt the need to interject after the op decided to sling his name through the mud. A better question for you to ask might be 'Why does the op have an issue with Roy, when it was CNC that sold him the car?'

    And therein is where it gets muddy and reason for my post.

    I have less a problem now with the OP [other than his lack of maturity] in stating things on the internet. Why? well, NOW that I know Roy interjected himself into the transaction after the fact, makes the OP's reaction [albeit cranky] somewhat legit.

    Roy had me totally on his side and his response was about perfect UNTIL he starts to offer a circumvent of what I would have termed a 'done deal'.

    Like said, and my apologies to Roy, his family and business, but I just don't believe such an action should have taken place. The OP should have been referred to CNC, then CNC and Roy 'might' have worked a situation without the OP involved, but in this case, I feel it would have made me almost angry to
    a. have the OP contact me over a CNC sale.
    b. have RE's re-write the sale/transaction

    The OP 'does' have some case here as now Roy has accepted a new deal and has become involved: muddy waters.

    I mean no disrespect here, just do not understand the need to muddy legal waters.

    or

    Perhaps CNC was Roy's agent in this case of which 'that' would make more sense.

    Help me out.

    Found that Wikipedia entry a couple days ago too. The thing that struck me was that it read as if he wrote the entire page himself.
