Are there any laws against selling used cars that should have not been sold?
Question Details: bought a used car and within 2 weeks the motor seized up on my way home from work. I don't think it should have been sold; it was not in good enough condition. The dealership stated they would fix anything wrong with it before we brought it home. Now they changed the engine and wouldn't tell me anything about the motor they put in it, so I don't want the car backs there. Is there anyway that I can get my $400 down payment back. Is there any law that would help me do so?
If you no longer desire the car that you purchased due to problems that you have had with it as written, I suggest that you sit down with the manager of the dealership to discuss the cancellation of your purchase where you get your money back.
If that is not going to be an option, then under the law, you are not entitled to cancel your purchase contract for the vehicle so long as the dealership has made every effort to rectify the problems with the vehicle and has done so which it may have with the installation of the new engine.
For further information as to your question, you might wish to consult with an attorney that practices in the area of consumer law.
