Is a verbal phone agreement between a dealer and a customer valid?

Our answer:

Hi Robert,

It depends on what you mean. In a strictly legal sense, no — unless you have something in writing, then one or other party is always, technically, free to change their minds. There is such a thing, in a legal sense again, as breach of promise, but ultimately if it comes down to court case, it’s your word against theirs.
