Last Saturday, I went to a car dealership to look at a specific used car and discuss potential finance plans. Through high-pressured sales techniques and a bit of deception I was persuaded to purchase a new car. However, I was being enrolled in the college graduate plan that this particular dealership offered and I did not have all of the requisite documents and information on me that day. Of course, the car was still pushed on me. Eventually, the financing agent piqued my interest by presenting the following offer as a huge deal-- no money down and monthly payments under $300. After I enter his office, however, the script changed. That is to say, I was only offered monthly payments ranging from $343 to almost $500. The dealership has not received all of my documents yet. I would like to return the car because I am not satisfied and I feel like I was hoodwinked. Is there a way for me to return that car?
Optional Information: State/Country of Question: North Carolina Already Tried: I contacted the dealership about returning the car. One of the managers said it was impossible. I told him that it could not be impossible.
Thank you for using JustAnswer! Did you sign a purchase or lease agreement?
A purchase agreement.
What do you believe is your legal basis to breach the written contract (purchase agreement) and return the car?
I was deceived, and they did not have all of my documents. Since they did not receive all of my documents, is the car really mine?
Thanks. Any verbal representations that were made to you do not matter. As far as the law is concerned, the only thing that matters is what was put in writing and whether you signed it. Since you signed the purchase agreement, those are the terms you must follow. The law presumes that you read and understood what it was you were signing. The law also presumes that you would not sign a document that you did not read, understand, or agree to. Even if the dealer did not receive all your documents, that fact does not prejudice you, you still got the better end of the deal, and so, yes, the car is still yours. Good luck and best wishes! I know this is not the answer that you wanted but that how the law works with your facts. I hope that you find this information to be helpful and this answer to be ACCEPTable!
Is there any way that I can oppose this contract? Yes, I will click accept.
Not from the facts that you've described.

JB, It turns out that I do not own the car because I signed a conditional delivery agreement. The agreement said that if I did not provide the documents within 48 hours, the contract will not be finalized. I am just sharing this information in case you speak to someone with the same situation. Thanks for your help.
