Bought car a week ago. No delivery yet. Can I back out of contract?

[Anonymous]

I bought a car a week ago. Found out that I could not take it off the lot due to it needing a repair. Part came in and it was also broken. Still don’t have the part or the car. Does anyone have experience with this in Virginia? Can I cancel the contract since I haven’t taken possession?

Go for it and report back

Technically, you had three days under VA law to change your mind. However, you never received the car. So I would turn to this provision if you want out of the deal:

A motor vehicle that contains a defect or condition that significantly impairs its safety, use, or market value could be a “lemon.” If you've purchased or leased such a vehicle in Virginia, you may be entitled to either a replacement vehicle or refund of your purchase price under the Virginia Motor Vehicle Warranty ...

I’d definitely bail.

UPDATE from OP: I went in and said that I wanted to cancel the contract because they have not delivered the car. They have not held up their end of the bargain. They canceled everything and I have all of my money back and an officially canceled contract in hand!

If it is a lemon then you have 3 days to return it in VA. Also, how do you own the car if you haven't taken the Delievery of the vehicle?

Never buy a car from these clowns again. Smells like fraud.

Tesla? The stories on Reddit about the battery issues for the Cyber Truck are horrendous.
