The Facts on Lemon Law
So you purchased a beautiful new car, signed all the needed paperwork and drove it right off the lot with a big smile on your face. The dealer got you approved on the "spot". Or so you considered.
Several days or weeks later, the dealer phones and asks you to come back to "sign a few more papers". If you refuse, the dealer may threaten to repossess the vehicle, tell you that you have no legal entitlement to own it or even force you wait for hours at the dealership under certain excuse, to wear you down. This situation is most general involving consumers with bad credit, since dealers perceive that such people are vulnerable and simple to take benefit of.
Almost all clients suppose the dealer is telling the truth and will do the way the dealer tells, resulting in higher payments, additional money being spent over the life of the loan and thousands of dollars in increased "hidden" payments. Those who refuse, see their vehicles repossessed.
It's a Scam. It has a name: Spot Delivery, a description which refers to the dealer putting a consumer in a car "on the spot", to get the sale, only to "yo-yo" them back in some time for additional funds. Performed to perfection, a dealer can reap heaps of dollars in unearned fraudulent gain.
Spot Delivery occurs to naive consumers in the United States. It is quite common placed with traders in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. If you find yourself in such case, the possibility is great that you have legal ways available to right this wrong. Ways to Defend Yourself from Spot Delivery:
* Keep in mind that if you have signed papers, you own the car, regardless of whether the vehicle has been financed.
* Your credit was good or the dealer would not have delivered the car to you at the cost you agreed to pay.
* Keep all copies of your documents and anything else related to the sale (including calendars, photographs). If the finance manager requires your papers at any time for any reason, refuse! Keep these documents in a secure place, not the vehicle.
* Have a friend take you to the place and witness whatever is being said to you. This will stop the dealer from taking your car as hostage, an all too common occurring. * Consider all money you had invested into the purchase, containing registration, insurance, down payment and trade.
