My friend signed a purchase agreement and wrote a $300 down payment check to lease a new car, but she never drove the car off the lot. The salesman had even told her that the sale would not be final until she "takes delivery" and was super anxious to get her to drive off, was going to follow her home in her old car etc. She had planned to come back the next day to pick up the car but later checked another dealer and found out that she was being overcharged about $2k for the car and changed her mind.
She called the original sales person and told them she no longer wanted the car, and to please tear up the check, contract etc. He said he was going to "check with his manager" and call her back, but that never happened. She called back and left another message to confirm that she did not want the car. About 10 hours later (at 1030 PM, no less) the salesman calls back and leaves a message that he spoke with his manager and since she signed the papers, she now owns the car.
What is the story?...Trying to find out if the sale is final and/or whether I need an attorney to "make a phone call".What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
