I signed a contract on a used car but never drove it off the car lot. The dealership had repairs to do and kept the car for a week. I since purchased a car elsewhere. Can I back out of the deal.-Ariz?

Answer 1

"Since you havent taken possesion of the vehicle the contract is void and noll." In response to the above: NOT TRUE IN WASHINGTON, regarless if you have taken possession, if you signed the contract, you may be required to pay a fee to cancel the contract, which is often in the thousands of dollars, depending on the dealer's stipulations and policy. Whether you take possession or not, you may be required to pay this fee, to cancel the remaining balance owed on the vehicle. Additonaly, even if you have not taken possession, do not be suprised if you wake up the next morning and find the car you are trying to avoid, sitting in your front lawn with the keys locked in it, complements of the dealership that wanted the car delivered, despite not wanting to proceed with the deal. This happened.
