Default Purchase contracts

A persons agrees to purchase several pieces of furniture and signs a
contract for the goods. During the night, the person determines that they
do not want all of the furniture. Is there any provision for the person to change their mind within a 24-48 hour period of time and void the contract?

Default Re: Purchase contracts

I purchased an "as is" minivan from a small car lot. Because it overheated on my family's first time out, I took it to a mechanic. Per multiple mechanics,
the vehicle needs thousands of dollars of major work to correct the
overheating problem, as well as other major problems (transmission, engine,
computer/check engine light) most likely caused by the state of the cooling system. Does "as is" mean that a dealer can sell a vehicle that doesn't even last a week? Isn't there some kind of stipulation as to a minimum level that "as is" has to meet? Does the fact that it has a brand new inspection sticker (with no way it should have passed state inspection) and no check engine light stipulate fraud? Do I have any special recourse with this having happened in "The Commonwealth of Virginia"? Thank You

There have been other similar posts here where the car owner was paid...

You could try to ask for a full refund saying that the vehicle had major structural damage etc. from the beginning, and it has never been fixed properly--but it will not be an easy case if it went to small claims or other court, and some courts may say you should have had it inspected at the time etc. If they knew of the problem in any way however and hid it from you they could be liable and even be penalized for bad faith--that may be the best argument for you to make--They also likely do not want any bad publicity so even the threat of a lawsuit could help persuade them.
