Legal Question in Consumer Law in Michigan
high pressure car sales tactics
Can I legally get out of a used car contract, if the dealer didn't go over the contract with me, nor take off the $2000.00 rebate check and charged me for plates when I have plates to transfer?

Re: high pressure car sales tactics
Look at the terms of your contract - you generally have 72 hours to cancel a contract, and this provision is required to be on the contract. The cancellation MUST BE IN WRITING and you need not have a reason for the cancellation.
If the 3-day period has passed, you may have another legal basis for cancellation, such as the seller's misrepresentations or "duress." However, this is not easy to demonstrate. I would have to review your contract to see if the rebate provision was in writing, otherwise it is he said/she said.
It sounds like it is worth at least a legal consultation and having a lawyer contact the seller via telephone or letter to either get you out of the contract entirely, or at a minimum, get you the rebate you were promised.
If you like to set up a consultation, please contact me via email.
Thanks.
