Dear Terry,
I purchased a car on Friday. The dealer told me he didn't have the white car I wanted, but that he would take some
money off a blue car he "thought was on the lot.'' He sent his salesman out to look for it and then said it must be
on a truck that would be in at 12 that night. He gave me a car to drive until next day.
Now, days later, there's still no car and his "Mr. Nice Guy" attitude has changed. He says I will have
to deal with the delay. Since I never took ownership of the car, can I back out?

Dear Todd,
Did you sign any paperwork on the car you're now driving, or on the promised blue or white car? If not, you can take
back the car you're driving and walk away, assuming the dealer didn't take possession of a trade-in, which could
complicate matters.
If you signed a sales agreement on one of the promised cars and they have yet to deliver it, you
should also be able to cancel the deal for nonperformance.
