1. Dealer revocation of sale. If a dealer sells a new or used motor vehicle and allows the buyer
to take possession of it, the dealer can not at a later date inform the buyer of that vehicle that the dealer
is canceling the sale unless the dealer has disclosed at the time of the sale and at the time of cancellation
that if financing can not be procured according to the terms agreed upon in the contract, the consumer
shall receive:
A. Reimbursement of the entire vehicle purchase price or, if a leased vehicle, the lease payments
made to date, including any paid finance charges on the purchased or leased vehicle; [PL 2001,
c. 256, §2 (NEW).]
B. Reimbursement of all charges pertinent to the contract, including, but not limited to, sales tax,
license and registration fees and similar government charges; and [PL 2001, c. 256, §2 (NEW).]
C. The vehicle traded in or, if the vehicle is not available, the trade-in value of the vehicle
established in the contract. [PL 2001, c. 256, §2 (NEW).]
This subsection does not apply to any sale canceled by the dealer due to material misrepresentation
made by the buyer.
[PL 2001, c. 256, §2 (NEW).]
