Re: nj law on used car return

It is not clear from your question whether you actually took possession of the used car from the dealer, or simply signed a contract to do so. You indicate you did physically trade your car in. You do not indicate the reason that you "changed your mind"--i.e., was something wrong with the car that you purchased?

In order to provide you with specific legal advice about which laws are applicable in your case, you need to retain an attorney as soon as possible who can review all of the relevant facts, including whatever contracts, etc., you signed with the used car dealer.

I strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney immediately so that you can explore your legal rights, obligations, and options. If you wish to discuss retaining my services, contact me at:
