Contenu
Purchasing a new car can be daunting. Between a potential trade-in, down payment and selecting a new car, what usually amounts to be a large financial transaction has many aspects. To guard against the emotion of the deal or being taken advantage of, some states have instilled a "cooling off period," which allows you to return the car within a certain window.
No Law
The state of Pennsylvania has no cooling off law when you buy a new car. This means that once you sign on the dotted line and have exchanged funds or come to a loan agreement, the deal cannot be reversed without the consent of the car dealership.
Fact Sheet
The state of Pennsylvania provides a fact sheet that buyers must fill out when purchasing a new or used car. The fact sheet details information about the car, explains associated state fees and requires you to acknowledge with a signature that you understand and are endorsing the deal.
Registration
The registration paperwork for a new car will be filled out by the dealership. The buyer must provide proof of identity in the form of a Pennsylvania drivers license in order to complete the transaction. If you are a new resident to the state, you must apply for a Pennsylvania drivers license before purchasing a new car.
