You purchased the car when you signed the contract. It has nothing to do with driving it off the lot. The only thing you can hope for is the dealer is willing to terminate the deal.
Not likely if you signed the contract.
yes
In Texas- Yes!
The dealer should be legally bound by the contract which the two of you entered into , a mutual agreement , unless there is an "escape clause" that the dealer can exercise as an option in the contract ; you would best consult an attorney regarding this matter .
NOT unless the contract stipulates that it will be. Otherwise, it is a contract in DEFAULT with the collateral in the lenders possession.
If the selling dealer pays for some repairs on a car you bought "AS IS" then count yourself lucky that the dealer went above and beyond what he legally was required to do. If you are trying to get out of the contract on this technicality then you did not deserve the fair treatment the seller gave you. No court would ever void the contract because the seller helped you when he did not have to.
If the car that the dealer delivers is not the car that is identified in the contract, then the DEALER is in default, not you.
Once you and the dealer have signed the contract, it is a binding contract agreement and it responsible by law. You can take him to court if he doesn't keep his part of the agreement.
The only ways to back out of the contract are 1: If you have a written agreement with the dealer to fix the problems. 2: Verbal agreement with the dealer to fix the problem. then if one of these 2 exist, it would be a small claims court deal and the dealer is suppose to be the expert and the court will recognize that and hopefully side with you.
The car dealership did not sign my contract, is it still binding?
Dealer is selling you the car AS-IS. They are then selling you a service contract from a different company thus the dealer is not the one providing a warranty the service contract provider is the one providing a warranty.
Without a signature, there is no contract. If you want your money back the dealer is obligated to give it to you.
