For Used Car Buyers Only
•A used car buyer may obtain a two–day sales Contract Cancellation Option Agreement.
Note: There is no “cooling off” period unless you obtain a Contract Cancellation Option Agreement.
Consumers who purchase a used car for less than $40,000 must be given an opportunity to purchase a two–day Contract Cancellation Option Agreement.
Exception: The Contract Cancellation Option Agreement
does not apply to used cars priced at $40,000 or more, new cars,
private party sales, motorcycles, off–road vehicles, recreational vehicles, or vehicles sold for business or commercial use (Does not include a pickup truck purchased for personal use).
