Business ProfileforDeery Brothers Nissan of Dubuque

I am writing to share my recent experience with Deery Brothers of Dubuque, which I believe could be of concern to other potential car sellers.I listed my car on ******** Marketplace and was contacted by a potential buyer named *****************, who offered a fair price for my car. After several weeks of communications with ****, we agreed on a price, but he requested that I bring the car to Deery Brothers, where he worked as a Client Advisor.Upon arriving at Deery Brothers, I was met by *********************, the manager, who test drove and inspected the car, agreed on the price that **** had offered, and confirmed the mileage. I signed the title, which confirmed the actual mileage of the car, and Deery Brothers issued me a check for the agreed-upon amount of $21,000.However, within a half hour of leaving the dealership and depositing the check, **** contacted me to say that there was an error and demanded that I return the check as it was no longer good. I returned to the dealership, where ********************* informed me that he had keyed in the mileage incorrectly and that the original offer of $21,000 was no longer valid. He offered me a check for $3,000 less or the option to take the car back, which was signed over to them.After consulting my attorney and weighing my options, I decided to accept the smaller check and move on. However, I believe that this experience was extremely unprofessional and unethical of Deery Brothers and *********************.
