Legal Question in Consumer Law in Illinois

RV buy and loan

We signed the papers from a RV dealer on a new RV and they were going to find financing for us. That was late Saturday evening after they had already closed, and we asked to terminate the contract at 9:00am Monday morning. We have not taken delivery on the RV. Can we terminate the contract, even if they go ahead and find financing, after we asked them not to? The salesman told us that the deal was not final until we accepted delivery on the RV and drove it out of the parking lot. Was that just a sales pitch? Can we be forced to take delivery on the RV? It was not a special order. It was a floor model.

Re: RV buy and loan

Depending on your reasons for cancelling the contract, you may cancel an agreement notifying the seller and making the goods available to the seller to pick up. The seller will take back the good and returns any money paid toward the purchase price and cancels the buyer’s outstanding obligations. The Uniform Commerical Code entitles the buyer to the return of all money paid toward the purchase price. Incidental and consequential damages are also available. Depending on the circumstances, the seller’s refusal to discharge its UCC duties may be actionable. I hope this helps you; feel free to email me if you have trouble understanding this.
