In Idaho, on December 21, 2009, I purchased a new vehicle from a dealership. I provided a trade-in as part of the transaction. When the salesman said they would look at my vehicle to give me an estimate, I informed him that it had a "salvage" title. I provided the title to the vehicle right there at the dealership during the transaction.
After we received the value of the trade-in, we accepted it, gave them the keys to the trade-in vehicle, signed all the papers, removed the license plates from the trade-in, and drove home in the new vehicle. They had everything for the trade-in at that time.
Today, 56 days after the transaction took place, I received a call from the dealership's used car manager, saying since the vehicle we traded had what he called a "branded" title, he couldn't sell it. He wanted to either give it back to us, for the price they gave us, or "work out a deal."
I told him I could not provide any answer right now, and needed to get back to him at a later date. My first inclination is to say "too bad" but I need to know what are my rights and what protections under any applicable Idaho or other laws exist.
Can anyone help?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
