Upon delivery the gas cap would not release. The motorcycle was taken back to the dealer and a new gas cap was placed, however the tank was scratched in 2 areas down to the metal. The motorcycle is not going into neutral well either. The motorcycle was not delivered to me in perfect condition without damage as I signed for upon the sale. I just want my money back but have been told the motorcycle is already titled and is now considered used. Only 3 miles have been put on the bike, which is from loading and unloading the bike and test drive by a technician.
It is not usual for a buyer to sign a contract saying they purchased a vehicle in "perfect condition without damage." If they offered you a paper saying that, you may have something. Instead, I'm sure you signed a delivery invoice that just says you took delivery of it. Is this a new vehicle? If so, there should be a warranty for all these problems. If it is a used vehicle, then you should look at if you purchased a warranty for that. If you don't have a warranty, then you purchased the vehicle "as is" and you are responsible for the condition it was purchased in.
If the dealer won't work with you, try contacting the manufacturer's consumer office. They will usually investigate such claims. If that doesn't work, try the Consumer Frauds Division of the Ohio Attorney General's office.
Since your problem is not substantial, under the factory warranty on a new bike you have to give them a reasonable chance to fix it. As for what the dealer did, your legal rights against the dealer are controlled by your sales contract and if the dealer lied to you.Absnet that, there is not much you can do. Complain to the dealer and try to work it out if you can. Thanks for asking and good luck.
