So I am in a bit of a predicament here. I found a really nice 08 A4 on the other side of the country that I want to buy. The problem is, he has a local buyer coming to buy the car tomorrow evening. I could get the car but I need to beat the other guy to it, and the seller is not willing to let just a down payment suffice to hold the car when he has a local buyer with money ready to go, which I completely understand. I could show up, decide I don’t want the car and at most he has my deposit but at the end of the day, the car isn’t sold.
Can a contract signed by both of us someone hold me completely legally liable to purchase the car? If this were a possible thing, I could fill it out, sign it, and overnight it to him.
