From a legal stand point you both have a leg to stand on. The fact that you presented a check shows a contract weather it was written or verbal the check is a piece of evidence that some sort of contract exists. Did you sign any papers besides your check? If not the dealer only has the check as his evidence and it would be his word against yours. You do realize that it is unlawful to write a bogus check. If I were you I'd give the car back and come to an agreement with the dealer that it never happened because he was wrong for taking the check and cashing it knowing it was bogus. I would hols that fact over his head because it would be a federal offense for both of you.

You signed a contract to buy, consideration (money) has exchanged hands, and you are stuck , my friend, unless it says on the contract hat a vehicle can be return in X days for a complete refund. I personally have nrver heard of such a clause on car contracts.Talk to a lawyer, and he will probably tell you the same thing in legal language.

I would think it would be legal enough unless he decides to render the check to the bank early and it bounces, then its on you. He will most definitely prosecute you for writing a hot check and possibly could consider the deal null and void. However, you should probably contact an atty to find out for sure.

You bought the car. You entered into a contract - verbal counts just as strong as written.

you are bound by contract.
The lack of funds may represent fraud and the other party collect damages on top of it, including collection costs and fees.
the dealer has no obligation to take it back. (plus there's no incentive to take it back...cars depreciate the second it leaves the lot)

You both broke the law... I guess you could just go to jail... No need for a car there!
