Re: Can I withdraw from a contract within 3 days in MA?

There is no automatic right to cancel a contract in 3 days. You need some specific grounds in order to cancel the contract. There must be some problem with the car and the dealer fails to remedy the problem in the required timeframe. If there is nothing wrong with the vehicle, the dealer probably is within his rights to keep all or some of your deposit as damages. You can find additional info on the Mass website www.state.ma.us/consumer/.
