Car Dealership not honoring contract

[caligirl101]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

I purchased a used vehicle in November 2009 from a large Toyota dealership, gave them my down payment and went home with the vehicle and a signed contract. After about 5 weeks, since the dmv tags seemed to be taking a long time, I contacted the dealership. They informed me they had yet to secure financing. It is now almost February and they still have not found financing. My contract clearly states they have 10 days to inform me, in writing, if they can not find financing. I contact the dealership daily and they just keep telling me they are working on it. Do I have any rights? Can I enforce this contract? Should I hire a lawyer?

What are you trying to accomplish?

I want them to honor the contract. I want to keep the car, and the terms agreed upon.

So far, you've been able to do that, right?

I think she cant get it registered, it might still have a temporary tag on it, limiting her driving.
