Son sold car to dealer, after 9 days dealership called for him to come back for it-WA state
Location: Washington State
Son sold his 2018 Honda Ridgeline to a dealership 10 days ago. They offered him $18k, total pay off is $26k, so son transferred $7300 to dealer for them to pay off the loan. Our boy was contacted by dealer yesterday saying the sales Mgr was going to buy the truck but it has "issues" and to come back to get it asap. They refused to tell him of the issues over the phone, said they'll discuss it when he arrives. The dealer did a 3 hour inspection when he sold it and only listed a couple cosmetic flaws. Our son also had it at a Honda dealer for service a month or 2 ago where it was inspected and found no problems.
All documents have been signed, transfer docs, bill of sale etc and the DMV website shows the vehicle as sold. The dealer has not paid off the car loan yet, our son was told by the bank yesterday there's nothing they can do as the loan is still actively in his name and to handle it with the buyer/dealer.
So now he's getting repeated phone calls from dealership saying if he doesn't return for truck, they will have it towed/impounded at his expense. He's contacting attorney's but isn't certain of he should shell out $500 for a consult? What are his options? What to do if they actually have it towed/impounded? (Son told dealership that he will not be returning, sale is final, and to stop calling him)
