If your husband did not sign, it is probably not binding on him. It is binding upon you.

If you signed it, you have a contract. Your husband does not, however. You are probably "stuck" though.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

The contract is probably binding upon you although it may not be binding upon your husband. You should review this matter with a qualified attorney to determine if you have any right to return the vehicle if that is your wish due to the failure to obtain financing.
