The Ford dealership says I'm stuck with the new car and I cannot have my old car back.
What if I did not sign over the title yet to my old car? The backseat does not work. Will that be considered under the lemon law? What if the person that signed the agreement was under doctor's care and is on medication?
Please advise.
Thanks!

Where can find the legal statutes? This happened in Missouri.

There are no buyer's remorse laws unless they knocked on your door to sell you the car.
How does the back seat not work? I'm highly confused by that.
Every state has lemon laws, and what that entails is bringing your car to get fixed for the same problem a set number of times within a set time frame. Usually it's 3 times w/in a year. Then you go through an arbitration process to have it declared a lemon.
Get used to your lovely new ford, and next time, before you buy, do a little a research. Consumer Reports is your best resource.
"You have a case for breach of contract as you never signed over your car. Without your signature they cannot sell or use your old car. Get a lawyer in your area."
yeah, that's a GREAAAAAT idea....considering that YOU are the one in breach. Don't worry, if you don't sign it, you'll be meeting a few lawyers.

As a general rule a car sale is considered final the moment the car leaves the dealer's lot.
In order for a contract to be nullified, there needs to be significant cause. You need to prove that you were tricked, or misled, or that the object of the contract (the car) doesn't meet the specifications as outlined in the contract.
Being under a doctor's care at the time of the signature of the contract doesn't get you off the hook either: One retains the legal capacity to contract until it is established that there is significant mental incapacity and a trustee is named.

In California, USA, with new cars: No.
WIth a used car: 48 hrs.
Not signing over the old car is a separate transaction, independent of whether or not you buy a new one.

I believe there is a buyers remorse law that they have to honor. I believe it's 3 days. Take a lawyer with you to the dealership. They better not bully you like that.

You legally have 72 hours on a major purchase to return the product of any kind and get your money back.
