Questioner

I sold my camper on Wednesday, March 25, 2015 to a lady who took it for a test drive and checked it thoroughly. We agreed on a price and she agreed to it. We agreed that she would pick up the camper on Monday and then pay in cash. On Friday evening, the lady sent an email saying that she did not want to proceed with the purchase with 1000 excuses, etc. but no valid reason, only that the driveway at her house is too small, while she had the measurements in the advertisement and with the test drive. I sent her an email that the purchase should go through or a compensation of 10% of the purchase price should be paid. Did I do the right thing, we shook hands and later called about the method of payment.

Lawyer

Since the law is clear on this, a direct sale, either verbally or in writing, is required to go through, since there is no cooling-off period for a direct sale unless otherwise agreed. The fact that her driveway is too small is not a valid reason. She should have known this before the sale. So in principle she closed the sale by promising you. Hoping to have informed you sufficiently with this. If you would like further help and/or advice, you can always contact us.
