I signed the papers but didn't take delivery can I cancel now?

[nsxrock]

I bought an M3 for my wife today. I signed all the papers but did not take delivery of the car.

I didn’t put down any deposit.

Can I call them tomorrow and cancel?

We traded her old car too. That car is still in our possession as well.

Can you guys help me on this one?

As a Realtor, How would you deal with a buyer in a similar situation? Treat others like you would like to be treated. Legally, you sign it, you bought it.

Why have you changed your mind?

 

[Hothonda]

Call them and tell them you changed your mind......don't feel pressured
into a purchase you don't want...they have their car, you have yours..
end of conversation. No transaction is complete until money changes hands!

 

[FeetFxr]

I Florida you have 3 days to return a car and they have to keep your trade -in for the same time just in case.

 

[GHOSTRIDER]

It's not your car until you take delivery. The transaction is not complete.
Don't let them B.S you into thinking otherwise.

I sold Hondas for nine months. I had a customer who arranged to buy an Odyssey minivan with black leather interior. He did the paperwork, left a deposit and was ready to drive away. For some reason, the dome lights wouldn't work so he left it behind to pick it up the next day. The problem was solved and he came with his wife to pick it up. After seeing the black interior in person (it was dusk already), she didn't like it. The customer asked me that since they didn't take delivery, the deal isn't set. Being the honest guy I am, I said that is true. Said they'll think about it and would contact me. Went to other dealers to check all the interior colors and saw the black and decided that it does look nice afterall. Needless to say, they took delivery. If they decided otherwise, we'd find them another Odyssey to their liking or we unwind the deal. The customer must take delivery to complete the transaction.

It is impossible to give a correct answer to a question in a vacuum like this. All such transactions have written contracts that control the purchase and potential recission of the contract. You obviously signed such a contract and would have it in your possession so I suggest you read what you signed to get the answer. None of us are in possession of the written materials and anything we say is purely speculative and potentially, if not probably, incorrect or inaccurate.

Geeze...switch to decaf!

:biggrin: funny!

 

[docjohn]

Rso is right,what advice can we offer without knowing specifics of the deal Plus he dos'nt drink coffee :wink:

 

[RSO 34]

Geeze...switch to decaf!

As correctly noted by my personal physician, I do not drink coffee.

However, I did offer the only piece of advice that was "correct" under the circumstances. It is a little problematic for someone to say that "I signed a contract that I am not going to show you but I want you to tell me what my rights and obligations are under that contract that you have not seen."

And now back to my Diet Pepsi (decaf of course).

I had to switch also...I only wish they made the lime flavored in decaf!

It is possible to give advice when you have done this for a living for several years. As a Finance Director I can assure you he can walk away. It's a FACT.

No speculation here.

As already mentioned, in Florida, any contract has a 72 hour cancellation clause without retribution.

You mean I can go to Florida and buy a car, drive it for 48 hrs. and return it? Like buying a used car from a private individual then change my mind 2 days later?

I don't think it applies to private individuals, only dealers and retail businesses.
