Replying to: elias5 (Jul 06, 2009 6:50 pm) Consumers often ask the New York Attorney General’s office whether they can cancel a contract after signing. There is no general “cooling-off” law in New York. Consumers should be very wary of salespeople who tell them differently. There are some consumer cancellation rights under the New York buyers remorse laws, however. Whether these rights are applicable depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each contract. Under the Federal Trade Commission’s Cooling Off Rule, a consumer has until midnight of the third business day after a contract was signed to cancel either of the following: •Door-to-door sales contracts for more than $25, or •A contract for more than $25 made anywhere other than the seller’s normal place of business-for instance, at a sales presentation at a hotel or restaurant, outdoor exhibit, computer show or trade show (other than public car auctions and craft fairs). A federal law called the Truth in Lending Act lets a consumer cancel a home improvement loan, second mortgage or other loan where the consumer pledged his or her home as security (except for a first mortgage) until midnight of the third business day after the contract was signed. A number of state laws collectively called the New York buyers remorse laws allow a consumer to cancel written contracts covering the purchase of certain goods or services within a few days of signing, including contracts for dance or martial arts lessons, health club memberships, and home food service plans. Consumers also have the right to cancel contracts with charitable organizations, membership campgrounds, home improvement contracts, prize award schemes, personal emergency service response agreements, sale of foam insulation, dating services, weight loss programs, time-share properties and hearing aids. In most cases, the contract must be cancelled within 3 to 7 business days. |

A question for you dealers out there. I have an Acura MDX coming off lease on July 25. A Lexus dealer has a RX 350 in the color combination I want scheduled to come in on August 15, and expects to get the VIN around July 25. The Lexus dealer is offering to give me a loaner between the date I have to turn in my Acura until my Lexus comes in. We’ve reached an agreement on an OTD price – but the “catch” is I have to purchase and pay for the Lexus when the VIN becomes available. In other words, I have to pay for the Lexus before it actually comes in and I take possession. To me, that’s the price of getting the free loaner – otherwise, I would need to extend my existing Acura lease another month, which would cost me about $450. Anyone ever done this before? I assume I’ll get the loaner if there’s a delay in delivery, but what happens if the Lexus is damaged before I take possession? Since I would own it, wouldn't that be my loss?

I doubt that the dealer will offload a damaged car on you. Customer satisfaction surveys are very important to Lexus dealers so I can't see them jeapordizing that. |

Hi I hope someone can give me advice. I went to a dealership and and was interested in the 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring. The salesman offered the car for $16,995 (sticker price is $19,000) he told me that there was a rebate of $1,500. When he filled out the purchase agreement he told me that he had to add the $1,500 rebate on to the price because I have to pay taxes on it. So that raised the price of the car to $18,495. Then he added the taxes, registration, inspection and tire disposal fees. This brought the price of the car to $20,111.!!! Then he said he was going to subtract the $1,500 rebate. The final price of the car ended up being $18,611. First of all I didn't get a rebate but I did pay an extra $1,500 dollars worth of taxes. I am glad that I only put down $100. and he wrote on the form that it was subject to my final approval. What can I do? Is that legal?? Please help in New York.
