Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas

Misrepresentation of vehicle price

I found a vehicle on Yahoo Autos. I called the dealership to get more information aout the vehicle. I asked about the price, mileage and vehicle history. I recieved a call back later that day confirming the price. I was told that they would honor the price that was posted on Yahoo but that they did not have any more information about he vehicle because they could not find it. A few hours later I received another call stating that the vehicle had been moved to another location. I called the second location and was told that the price was a misprint by Yahoo and that they would not honor it. Under the Yahoo Terms of Service the customer (dealership) is responsible for any information that they post, not Yahoo. Does the dealership have to sell the vehicle at the posted price?

Re: Misrepresentation of vehicle price

Not if the price is unreasonably low to the point that you would reasonably know it was a mistake, but otherwise you could have a good claim here. Let me know if you want to press it, but I'll need to do a little research to go over the Yahoo TOS and case law.
