- I just bought a new car and, having signed and driven off in my new
- (used) Ford Escort 1990, I went over the papers in the calm
- atmosphere of the local Denny's and realised that I'm not quite
- happy with the numbers.
-
- Basically, because I agreed to pay over a two year period, it's
- gonna cost me extra. I now realise that I could almost pay the
- whole thing off straight away which would save me over a thousand
- bucks.
-
- Is it easy enough to go back and change the contract without
- penalty? I know in Australia there's a ten day cooling off period
- within which if the purcahser chooses, he may return the car and
- cancel the contract without penalty.
-
- Are there similar cooling off laws in California (I bought the
- vehicle from a reputable dealer, BTW)?
-
- I would appreciate an e-mail reply for the quickest response,
- preferably so that I don't miss the cooling off period deadline
- (assuming there is one). BTW, if there is one, in days, is that
- days of business (i.e. not holidays)? (I bought the car Monday).
-
-
- Thank you.
