:lol: gonna call my situation out and not even post what you bought?

At least I was forthcoming with my shite show.

Parked on a hill and didn't chock any of the wheels. Trailer was barely wide enough for the vehicle so he backed off slowly. Once it hit the pivot point, it literally lifted the rear axle of the tow vehicle off the ground. At that point he was on a decline and there was nothing stopping anything from rolling.

We still have not accepted the vehicle formally. Claims have been filed, all pictures, documents, witness testimony supplied. It's not a brand new vehicle, we do still want it as long as everything checks out mechanically from the incident and the cosmetic stuff is taken care of.

Wait... you didn't let him leave prior to notifying the dealer you were refusing delivery of a damaged vehicle did you?

---

Yes and no, I notified the dealer that I was refusing to sign a clean delivery and that the tow truck driver parked it on my land. They told me to do whatever I needed to do, they are being helpful.

Which is where deminished value will come into play.

Good job not getting involved at all, bad job accepting the delivery. I would’ve called the dealership told him what happened said their vehicle sitting at where it’s at never touched it.

---

I have not driven the vehicle, tow truck driver put it in my driveway. I've not signed anything saying I accepted the delivery. I know I have the vehicle on my property which is not ideal but they were trying to clear the street, parked it, transport left.

The deal in place currently is that I agree to purchase it as is, as it was before it left the dealer. I still have their trade sitting in my driveway. I have the physical papers unsigned on my desk.

I think I'm still in a good position.

No one is delivering a vehicle 900 miles to my house without some sort of agreement. The agreement is now currently void.

Sounds like you need to call the dealership in the morning and tell them to come pickup their vehicle then.

Or they need to renegotiate the purchase price and take enough off the price to make it worth your while to accept in the condition it was delivered in, while also factoring in the diminished value for future resale or trade-in due to having previously repaired damage.

This is where I am. If the suspension checks out the only thing I care about is the rear bumper that was cracked, if that is handled and all checks out I'm good.

When we bought our vehicle out of state last year, we flew in to the city and drove it home.

I guess we aren’t baller enough to have it shipped.

---

:lol: we aren't baller, we actually offered to drive the trade up to Iowa and drive back, they worked out shipping and it would have been cheaper to ship than to drive and such.

You know this how?

He told the sheriff he was not a citizen, presented a valid license, valid insurance. All validated.

So this place loves to bitch about vehicles, they love to bitch about illegals, they love to bitch about overloaded vehicles. Let my pain be your pleasure.

Here's the story, bought a vehicle, Yukon XL with the duramax. It was being delivered from out of state. I have no control over delivery, the dealer arranged it.

It gets picked up, I get a message, "I have Yukon, be here 2:30" ok cool. 2:30 rolls around, he send me a pic of my driveway and says "i am on spot" I said ok, I'll come meet you.

I get down there with my wife, and immediately I say, no fricking way he just towed this with a 1500...900 miles. Well he sure as shite did. So I go to tell the dude just pull down my driveway, he already has the car unstrapped, he said it's all good in broken English.

I though to myself well, ok, this is his responsibility until he hands me the keys. So he hops in the Yukon on the trailer, starts backing it down and as soon as the weight gets behind the trailer wheels. Pivot point changes, physics happens, the rear axle of the tow vehicle didn't get light, it lifted off the ground. He points at me and says something in Ukrainian whole pointing at the tow vehicle. It's all happening in slow motion, I know exactly what's happening. I said nope, took a step back and there he goes. Truck slides about 50 feet before Jack knifing itself into the trailer, into a power pole. All with our new vehicle not strapped on the trailer. No one inside the tow vehicle, him sitting in the Yukon, not a wheel chock in sight.

I have a complete insurance mess on my hands now. The Yukon was damaged. His truck was fricked (he changed his tire and drove away, fairly certain the axle was bent). He was a non US citizen, with a valid driver's license and valid insurance. Claim has been filed, police report filed.
