Purchase protection - buyers remorse


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

Question? Can I cancel a contract I signed to purchase a used vehicle from an authorized dealership where I used my older vehicle as a down payment. Is there such a thing as buyers remorse, and if so, the time frame to return the vehicle. I purchased it last night.

Yes, there is a thing called buyer's remorse. Unfortunately for you, the laws for the right of rescission do not apply in your case. Enjoy your new vehicle.

Why? Buyer's remorse is not just caused to cancel a contract. The state of Washington laws concerning the right of rescission specifically excludes new and used vehicles bought at dealers. The OP did not state there were any problems with the vehicle which really does not matter, Washington's lemon law have very tight restrictions as they apply to used vehicles. Without more info from the OP, your post is no help at all.

Well, Racer 72, unless you are Washington's leading authority on contract law, it will certainly not hurt the O.P. to get a second (free) opinion from a real live person, as opposed to cyperspace posters like you and me.

And as for yyarboro's post being "no help at all," neither was yours to me on the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Not only was it no help, it was factually wrong. Go back to the Small Claims Court forum and look under "Suing a Franchisee in Small Claims Court" to see how I had to educate you.
