Re: returning a car
First I would document this more clearly. Write up a letter stating that this is to document that yesterday I canceled the purchase entered into on May 1, and tendered the return of the automobile. Send a copy BOTH by certified mail and by regular mail (or drop it off).
If you have trouble paying for it and are sued later on for not paying, this could be a possible defense for you.
I believe they are wrong not to accept the cancelation of the contract within 3 days. However, forcing them to honor it is a more difficult question.
You might need to sue them for return of your trade and your money.
If the amount is under $15,000, you can do this in general district court fairly easily.
