    Default Bought a Car With a Damaged Frame

    My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: NJ

    I purchased a used car on 8/28/09. After haggling with the salesman for 2 hours we finally agreed on a price and I paid for the car. I signed some documents and received my receipt and was told that the sales manager had more documents for me to sign but there were people ahead of me. I went to lunch and when I returned the manager had a new receipt and a disclosure form stating that the car had repaired frame damage and a new engine. He compared the frame damage to being like an irregular shirt. I signed the disclosure figuring that I had already paid for the car and took it home so I was committed. After researeching the term frame damage I see that I might've made a mistake. What can I do?

    I forgot to mention that I didn't even get the title because they claim they had to get it first.

    Having signed a document acknowledging the frame damage, and that you were choosing to buy the car anyway, I doubt that you have any avenue of escape relating to that issue. If the dealership cannot convey title within a reasonable amount of time, that may provide you with a way out.
