What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
On 4/22, my husband and I purchased a used truck from a dealership. We made our down payment, signed all required paperwork, were approved for financing through a bank, and have all required documents including bill of sale. We left with the understanding that the dealership would fix a couple of minor issues with the vehicle and we would pick it up later in the week. We received a phone call stating that repairs on the truck would take longer than anticipated, can they give us a loaner? The next day, we were told that the vehicle had even more problems, and would we be interested in buying another car? We said we would consider it, if there were an equivalent deal, but we had not confirmed nor were we offered an adequate replacement. Within an hour of that discussion, the truck we had originally purchased was listed for sale at a sister location at the same price we bought it for, 3 days after we had bought it. For what it's worth, this is a larger, well known car dealership, not a small, hole-in-the-wall car lot.
We are trying to figure out what to do about this, and whether this is a breach of contract in some form. We figure we have three options: fighting for the truck we purchased, taking our money and walking away, or seeing if there is a suitable deal that we are offered. This has left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, so I'm not inclined to entertain any further "deals" we're offered, but any advice or similar experiences would be helpful.
