Can I cancel used car sale deal because of misguide and wrong information?

Lemon Law 3 views 1 answers
I bought a used car from a dealer. When I checked the car, gas tank was showing empty and because of that we couldn’t take a test drive. Then, I decided to buy the car and signed contract. I picked up the car and took it to gas station next door but gas tank was full. I took car back to dealer and explained them situation, manager came with me to gas station and saw the problem that gas indication didnt work. They took the car to fix it but now they want me to pay for it since it happened after I bought the car. My questions are, do I have to pay for it? And can I cancel the deal and get my money back since they misguided me saying gas tank was empty instead of indication not working? Thanks

#autofraud #lemonlaw Your question truly points out a number of important dangers: 1- If you are a consumser (or a business) you must ALWAYS have the vehicle inspected PRIOR to purchase, just like you would if you buy a home; 2- You CAN cancel the deal, but, since the overwhelming majority of used car dealers will not just agree to cancel the deal, the reality of life, compared to the "theory" of law, is unlikely to travel the same path. So, despite asking a good question, there is no one single answer to your situation, as legal twists and truns combined with real life concerns in dealing with what is likely to be a crook with a license to steal, can be tough. You'll need to get a consultation from an auto fraud / lemon law attorney asap. Most will do the initial document review at no charge.
