Question

let me know ASAP

Answer 1

you got what you payed you signed the papers saying you know what you were paying for so you kind of did that to yourself i am sure you might be able to go and trade it for something else with some extra money but i dont know what else you can do

Answer 2

First, as far as right of rescission goes, only CA has a 3 day period (as far as I know) when it comes to buying cars.

Second, you can check the contract. Chances are the contract is for the car you drove home, but it's a good idea to check anyways.

However, you have some cards to play that no one has mentioned yet.

You bought a new car, so you can absolutely complain to the manufacturer about your dealer. This may sound like a small thing, but most dealers will bend over backwards to avoid negative "CSI" (Customer Satisfaction Index) because the manufacturer uses CSI to determine inventory allocation, etc.

Start by driving the vehicle back to the dealership and asking to speak to the general manager. I think in this case you need to get the big man involved ASAP. Explain to him that you thought you were buying a V6, and because you trusted your salesperson completely, you never bothered to check. Then tell the GM that you only want to get a V6 version of the car you bought. If he says no (which he may), leave the car in the dealer's parking lot and get a friend or relative to take you home.

Next, call BOTH the manufacturer and your state's dealer licensing board. File a complaint with both stating you believe you were misled and that the dealer won't allow you to switch. This may get a result immediately.

Also, call a competing dealer offering the same model of car and ask them for help! Believe it or not, your dealer may have made a mistake when they completed your paperwork. I used to find mistakes in other dealer's paperwork all the time, and these mistakes (once pointed out) made keeping a deal very difficult. For instance, if your dealer failed to have you sign or initial any of your finance documents properly you can give them their car back at no charge to you. A competing dealer is just as interested in helping you as anyone, and they may have other ideas for getting out of the transaction.

Whatever you do, start with the dealer you bought at first. Provided the car you took home doesn't have too many miles or if it's only been a day or two, you have a very good chance of them working with you.

Answer 3

Look at your sales agreement. If it shows you paid for a V6, you are entitled to a V6. If it was a verbal request and the salesman failed to include it on the order, you have a problem. Unless the salesman admits the mistake, you are stuck with the car.

Answer 4

Make sure you did not pay for a V6, and keep it! Gas prices are high, I wish I had a 4 cylinder!

Answer 5

You have a three day right of rescission on the deal. But you're really not too swift if you didn't read the label AND look under the hood to see what you were getting.

If you financed the car, you SHOULD have the right to rescind the loan which would then preclude you from being able to afford the car.
