Shipper won't pay, makes ridiculous claim

Take the car back to Adesa.

 

Until you release it, it's still your freight, tell the dealer your taking it back to adesa

 

ADESA sells the vehicle. BUYER owns the vehicle. HE has to make claim against Seller or... BUYER just has to replace the windshield. It's a hundred bucks for glass. If the BUYER is present and physically examined the vehicle and BID for it he dam well KNOWS that glass is chipped. Adesa has nothing except gate check. Once a vehicle is OUTSIDE OF THAT GATE. It's YOURS. NOT Adesa. IF the buyer bought it online and did not see chip? tsk tsk tsk. Always something with them used cars.

I myself have ADESA experience for 5 years or so. Ive done everything from parking cars to crew bossing and eventually crew truck sales foremen herding newbie cdl temps and taking tractor trailers and RV's into the barn for sale.

If a vehicle gets outside of the ADESA gate without a documented damage? Sorry bud. The buyer pays. IF YOU damaged it as a driver. The BUYER will get his pound of flesh out of you.

Im not here to give you trouble my style of talking is rather rough, but there is a whole lot of love and sympathy for your troubles. But as you apparently did not damage the vehicle yourself you can rest easy and let the buyer bark with ADESA and seller. Or cough up a Benjamin and put new glass on them cars.

 

Ok Sir. Let's see.

Document everything. And if they do not take it from your paycheck or sue you etc you will be ok as long you don't actually lose money for that damage.

If they DO go after you and take the money from the pay or sue you etc. Bring everything to show evidence to defend yourself.

 

U still got the car?if so tell him to go f himself.deposit money in bank account u get ur vehicle.achip 8mm big is fixable for $60,u dont have to replace the windshield

 

I thank you kindly, it becomes similar to OSD claims then does it not? ugh. That's a headache.

OSD = Overage, shorts and damaged
