Hello all, newby here, if I’m not doing something correct here, please advise.
Began the buying process from a manufacturer in Washington State, September 2021.
I am an out of state buyer that Spent a day on a similar vessel with Mfg, sale rep and general manager, negotiated purchase price, add on’s, options and delivery date, On or before 10/1/22, to date no boat. I was issued the Co order sheet signed by Mfg.
11/28/22 mfg says boat is done, I requested my surveyor look it over. Mfg reply, no, after you pay u may survey all you want. I had no choice. So, I send a person to factory to look it over on 12/1, you know, just to look it over, see if it was done and verify a few things, HIN….
Word from my viewer is, boat is not done, every hand in factory on it. Ok, it’s close, no worries, they demand closing on 12/2 or else! So, I send payment in full with tax doc’s signed.
Now, they want me to sign a purchase agreement, all news to us, that waives all my rights, including paying their atty fees in the event litigation ensues?
Has anyone here experienced this type of conduct before? To date I have not signed and WILL NOT sign. Any verbatim concerning a requirement for me to sign something should have been disclosed 14 months ago, not after they’ve been paid, no?
Can anyone refer me to an attorney in washington that has experience with this type of matter?
Thanks in advance! Rusty
