Tell the dealer you want to cancel the contract

If you believe you have a right to cancel the contract, tell the dealer with a letter that you want to cancel it.

You can use a sample cancellation letter or write your own. Send your letter by registered mail so you can make sure that the dealer got it.

Your letter should include the following information:

• your name and address
• the date
• the name of the dealer’s company and their address
• the date you purchased the car
• the make, model, year, and vehicle identification number of the car
• how much you paid for the car
• a detailed description of why you think you can cancel the contract
• the date by which you want a response from them (5-7 days is reasonable)

Be sure to include the following things with your letter:

• evidence, like copies, not originals, of receipts, invoices, contracts, or other relevant documents, and
• your signature and the date.

Keep a copy of your letter and your registered mail receipt so that you have proof that the dealer got your letter.

Keep your letter clear, short, and specific.
