I was visiting my brother about three hours from home this weekend. Saw a car listing I was interested in, went and looked at it, drove and looked great, so I went and got cash from the bank and bought it. This was at about 11:30 am. They closed at noon because it's Saturday. I headed home and made it 64 miles before the transmission went out and left me sit on the side of the highway. I had it towed back to the car lot because I was a heck of a lot closer to there than home, and then my wife took me the rest of the way (she was following me in our minivan with our kids.)
My question is, what are my odds on a refund on this thing? I signed a document saying it was being sold as is, but this is a private dealer and has the guys name on the sign. I guess I'm hoping he has some integrity and cuts me a break considering I didn't even get to drive the thing for an hour. I also took all this money out of my savings so I'll be pretty bummed if it's just a complete loss. A transmission is completely out of the question to replace on this car.
Thoughts? I probably won't hear from this guy until Monday so I have to stew about it until then.
Edit: I live I Indiana if that matters.
Edit 2: Guy just called me and the first thing out of his mouth was that he was refunding my money. Said he was sorry and not a crook about 15 times. Guess there really are some good people left in the world.
