Sign blank bill of sale?

Q&A: Dealer / Ordering / Financing

My dealer wants me to sign a blank bill of sale for a 24 xl. Then they will submit an order. IF they have a spot for me. Sounds pretty scammy to me. Going to try a new dealer…

Sounds like they want you to sign up for it so they get an allocation. Then once it's all settled they'll give you a stupid price with the expectation that you'll walk away or that you'll happily pay their marked up price.

So bill of sale or purchase order???

Signing a bill of sale is a contract and legally binding. So if you can get them to agree to MSRP, that would be great. But not a blank one.

Signatures on purchase orders are worthless.

It’s a bill of sale, with no prices on it. I got scared when I read the bottom. And it said it was legally binding. I feel like they could charge me anything. And I’d be liable to pay it. I told them I didn’t feel comfortable with it. And haven’t heard a peep about it.

If it's a bill of sale then get them to put MSRP in there.

But you're doing the right thing otherwise by not signing what is essentially the same thing as a blank check to them.

No way bro; Make sure it says MSRP on your Bill or a Price in writing or they will and can fuck you over

Spec out your maverick, print it out, then take that in and sign that.

I called 3 dealers. 2 out of the 3 wanted a deposit to go in and place the order.

The one told me no deposit, no markup and just send them the license + address. No need to go and sign the paperwork. After 1 day I didn't hear back I figured they probably didn't do anything. Then I received two emails, one for placing the order and another with the order sheet that I need to sign and date!

Woohoo! hopefully none of this bs deposit and markup and will be getting it sometime next year.

So I found a better dealer today. I should have gone here in the first place. Msrp in writing, $500 refundable deposit. No bs👍
