Legal Question in Business Law in Ohio

Re: Question about a vehicle purchased.

I was hoping that someone who knew more about this than I do would reply. I hope that someone else does reply. Still, I felt compelled to reply because I can see your concern.

Please look at the sales papers that your husband signed. Did the right person sign it on the dealer's side? I believe that the 3-day return rule that you mention is the one that only applies to things sold to you at your home. But, see if a policy is in the signed papers. It may be hard to prove, but did the dealer misrepresent anything to your husband? I'm guessing that the car was in his name, alone.

Your car is probably gone. If not sold to a consumer, it may be on auction somewhere. The reality, too, is that the new car has lost some value. It would cost money to get the old car back, and selling your new car back as a used car (even 3 days old) is also costly.

It is probably hard to get the dealer to help, and this may not be exciting enough (or, your privacy may be more important to you) to get a local TV station interested. Off hand, I don't see any issues for the Better Business Bureau.

Again, this is not my area, and I am responding mostly as a human being. Others, please reply.
