Broker or dealer?

ISNT THIS WHATS HAPPENING WITH THE CAR! Said inspection was done but clearly wasn’t if trunks not opening? Contract states that I’m getting a car with no issues but there are issues. Do you like buying cars with scratches on it?

It’s a mechanical product, with historically terrible reliability. Know what you’re getting into next time before signing on the dotted line.

Mechanical products break…especially with a JLR badge. Take it in for service. Get to know those guys, because it’s likely by the end of your lease term, they will know your name.

So if you buy a house and use a realtor but something is wrong after signing and you just moved in, the realtor won’t help at all?

You can’t compare hiring a realtor to buy a house and hiring a broker to buy/lease a car. First of, realtors have to be licensed. Before finalizing any paperwork, you get the house inspected. So most issues with the house should be discovered then. You also have a real estate attorney who goes over paperwork and terms of the deal.

My point here is that, most professionals involved in buying/selling a house are licensed (realtor, attorney, appraiser, home inspector, mortgage broker). Car sales is another story - Sorry if I offended any brokers

Great point: a real estate broker (if nothing else) is required by state to be licensed and has a fiduciary responsibility to their clients.

Unfortunately it felt like I had to pull strings just to get photos and videos of the car from the broker.

If you didn’t pay them their retainer, and you didn’t sign some sort of binding agreement with the broker that you wouldn’t go behind his back on the deal, I can totally see why they were reluctant to give you pictures. You even admitted you found the car and the dealership after he sent you the pictures.

Brokers have to be licensed and bonded too.

This is not the broker’s responsibility. He’s out of the picture. You take the car in for service with the dealership and they deal with it.

That car DOES NOT even have auto trunk opening feature

CAN I DELETE THIS WHOLE THREAD??
I’ll see everyone in another 3 year when my lease is up!

No, it’s good information for anybody else in a similar situation or asking the same questions. That’s how a public forum works.

The real question is - are you going to use a broker in 3 years? If so, might wanna make a new account

It’s a love hate thing.

My says: 2023 same broker, anything but a RR. Check back when you eject from this lease and let us know.

Congratulations and enjoy btw: amazing ride when it’s traveling under its own power.
