Car purchase: alleged verbal agreement from a second person?
Hello, I have a quick question…
I have decided to sell my car because I am 9 months pregnant and need something bigger…
I have asked my husband to carry out the viewings for interested parties, as I am currently unable to do so (the car is registered to me as my husband does not have a driving licence etc.) he simply takes care of the viewings for interested parties!
Now there was a couple there who really wanted the car.
They persistently write that they have an EVB etc., that they will come and get the car on Tuesday etc. even though I won't be there on Tuesday anyway because I have a birth plan etc., but they just make the appointments all at once…
I have now informed them that I will NOT sell the car for that amount because I have received higher offers.
Now the couple is threatening to go to a lawyer because there was an ORAL PURCHASE AGREEMENT from my husband because, according to them, he was selling it on their BEHALF!?
Is this legal if the car isn't even registered to him and there's no purchase agreement or anything else? Especially since we had several viewings on the day the couple was there to listen to offers?
I was also not present at the viewing because I am physically unable to do it at the moment due to my pregnancy?
But can they now simply insist on my car even though I haven't given any confirmation etc.????

Let’s say that a valid contract always includes two.
Yeah, sure they could. Your husband should sell the car on your behalf, so he can make promises.
The whole thing wouldn’t be better if he couldn’t, because then he would be liable as a Falsus procurator, that would come out for you in the same way.
But I’d just take the shit, block them and wait for them to complain.
And that’s where your husband simply denies the promise.
They’re not going through being two criminals.
They’re just talking about it.
The lawyer wants money from them first.
No, he did not make a sale, but the couple he gave them the car.
Yeah, I’d just contradict him and finish him.
If he wasn’t allowed to do this, he’s Falsus Procurator when they get that proved and then your husband is liable.
You don’t want to, do you? Because it’s your money.
You just have to object to this assertion.
He hadn’t promised them.
But they don’t complain anyway.
Yeah, let the labs go.
The rejection of a deposit is a very good indication that you had not agreed.
Because otherwise he would have taken them.
There’s nix, block them and finish them.
Or say you’re going to the police because you feel compelled by their calls.
Then they google this and give rest.
Of course not, they wanted to make a deposit right on site, but I told my husband when he contacted me that I didn’t get the car for the price! I’m not going to listen to other offers before I get the first promise…
A car purchase can take place on an oral basis, because oral contracts are valid. However, oral contracts should only occur in the used car sector. Car dealers use only written contracts, at least in the new car sales sector.
Is the car purchase binding upon oral undertaking? | AutoExtrem.de
So that means I could now if I get the order to just make the visits to sell an X Belibiges vehicle?
I.e. you don’t have to adhere to the oral promise and the couple can do nothing. Also not with lawyer..
But why don’t you just sell them the car?
Tell them Tuesday doesn’t go and call them the right day for you.
Don’t be blackmailed. He’s not going through it.
Selling the car for the 1700€ to the other ones.
And then make demands?
Since the offer is not interesting for me… my pain limit are 1800€ they have made an offer of 1500€ and also wanted to have bought the defective handbrake saddle. And on the second day, I got an offer for 1700. So it’s not interesting for me. However, it started with: he now has an EVB and he comes on Tuesday etc. and when I said that I did not sell the car for the price, it started with him having an oral purchase contract etc. and he goes to the lawyer…
