What is the name of your state? missouri
We bought a used 1997 chevy venture with 86k miles on Friday, May 20. We attempted to take the vehicle back to the dealer after finding numerous hidden problems on wednesday, May 25. (The dash lights were non existent, the gas gauge started showing over the full line when we only had 1/4 tank left, the temp guage doesn't work, dome lights don't work when door opens, only by the button, etc.) Upon our arrival we were informed that we had signed a form stating that they were not responsible for any problems with the vehicle and that they had not inspected it. The form actually states that we are buying the car for junk, salvage or rebuilding and that the vehicle can not be opperated in its present condition; therefore, it would either be towed or hauled from the place of purchase. None of this is true and we never read this form because the salesman was supposedly reading it and then had us read the last paragraph stating that by signing we were acknowledging the form had been read to us. On the bottom in small print it states that, "The sale of this vehicle in its present condition without an approval certificate and its operation upon the streets and highways of MO from the place of purchase, is a violation of Section 307.380, RSMo., and may subject the seller to penalties." What exactly does this form mean and is the dealer correct that he does not have to give us our money back, nor does he have to take the car back???
