Fine-signed car contract deal with price increase trap

In recent years, with the increase of supervision and awareness of consumer rights protection, it is rare for car dealers to “pay for the car” in the car-raising session, and it is very rare for consumers to directly pay for car purchases. However, it is required to purchase additional accessories. , insurance, after-sales service and other disguised price increases have risen, in which hot models are more frequent car sales increase area.

In August of this year, Jinan citizens bought a hot-selling SUV to urge businesses to deliver their vehicles as soon as possible and prevent them from increasing their prices. Mr. Yu specifically stated in the sales contract that he would not raise the price or raise money within 2 months. Deposit", and deposit 2,000 yuan. However, when one month later, Mr. Yu provided the vehicle according to the notice, the dealer forced him to purchase the 8000 yuan, otherwise he could not withdraw the current car, but also waited after the consumers who had paid for the charge, and claimed that “the purchase of equipment "Does not belong to the category of "price increase."

After receiving complaints from consumers, Jinan City Bureau of Industry and Commerce immediately subordinated to the branch staff to obtain sales contracts, sales documents and vehicle inventory, and pointed out that the forced purchase of equipment is contrary to the wishes of consumers tying goods, dealers should be based on the price of naked cars Deliver the vehicle to Mr., otherwise refund the deposit. However, because Mr. Yu did not agree with the dealer's liability for breach of contract and the compensation method in the sales contract, the dealer ultimately chose to return the deposit of RMB 2,000 to the buyer and terminated the sales contract.

According to Han Jun, director of the Automobile Market Management Office under the direct sub-branch of Jinan City's Industrial and Commercial Bureau, some of the hot sellers are often in the “ready to sell” zero-stock status, and some dealers will set up each of them without having to bear the liability for breach of contract. This kind of "price increase car" threshold, even if the termination of the contract, refund the consumer deposit, it will not affect the continued sales of vehicles.

Han Jun suggested that when signing a car sales contract, consumers may wish to agree on the amount of compensation for violations such as “increasing the car price”. At the same time, consumers can mark the prepayment amount as “deposit” on the premise of a clear intention to purchase a car. If the dealer defaults, consumers can receive twice the deposit. However, if the consumer defaults, the deposit will not be refunded.
