Just bought a new car need advice on my rights in texas?

I do not have the best credit and new in town, I went to a dealership and found a cute new 08 car that i liked.


Now that I've ';slept'; on it here are some things that are bothering me the morning after.





1. My new car (no previous owner) had 500 miles on it


2. The finance guy didn't give me copies of my loan docs that I signed because he said the bank has to sign off on it then I will get a copy.


3. There was some charge of $3000 extra to the amount of the car, yet I signed something for a $2000 factory rebate.


He said it was ';blah blah blah blah'; that's what it sounded like to me at least. But I'm waking up really bothered by it.


I plan on going in there today, but I know they will probably give me more of the same, so I was hoping to get some advice first.

It sounds as if they sold you an extended warranty product鈥攖hat could be the $3,000 add on. You actually have 72 hours from driving out to return the car and cancel the deal. If you aren't comfortable keeping it, take it back. If you have an issue with the dealer, follow the TxDOT link below to file an official complaint.Just bought a new car need advice on my rights in texas?
Good day,


I too live in Texas and have worked for car dealerships...This is your deal...Speak to the finance manger..if that doesn't get the answers you can understand speak to someone else. Ask around what sells person has been there the longest??? I know sells people that have been w/ the same dealerships for 20 years..and they make a killing on repeat business...seek knowledge from these people...they want satisfaction for you and you to return in the next couple of years and send Friends...So stand tall and get the answers you want...ps you have 24 hours to back out..So as Mick Jagger say: get Satisfaction.....


Happy Trails
I have not been able to find any information about a cooling-off period in Texas. Some information suggests that they do not have one. Every time I've gone to purchase a car they specifically told me that my state, California, does not have one but you can purchase insurance to compensate for that.





The loan documents situation seems about right, maybe you should hope that the loan doesn't get approved then agreement would then become void.





You'll hear the same shenanigans if you go back as you dealt with while purchasing your car. Your best bet is to approach them politely and very apologetically. They do have the ability to terminate the agreement, but they don't have to.





Regarding the mileage that shouldn't be a deal breaker. If it's only 500 miles I doubt it was used as a loaner. It was probably driven to that dealership from somewhere and taken on more than a few test drives.
