Alright, again, caps off, makes it easier to read. You *might* have a possibility if you are truly and documented learning/mentally disabled. The documentation would be the important part. There have been cases where dealers have taken advantage of other people, such as the man who had Alzheimers and the dealer sold him something like 7 cars in a month. This happened in Oregon, and there was another where a music store manager sold 11 organs to an alheimers patient. There can be charges of exploitation if it is found that they were truly exploiting them. I don't think your case particularly ranks up there with the above examples, but you might have an option there.

Your disability concerns your learning and memory skills. I get it. That must be WHY YOU CAN'T REMEMBER TO TURN OFF YOUR CAP LOCK. IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO READ WHAT YOU ARE WRITING SO MOST PEOPLE JUST STOP AND GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE. Get a clue.

Before I start, please, turn off the caps lock. Makes a difficult message to read even more difficult. Now, I am making a few assumptions here, but your old car was pretty much dead, so you went to this Hyundai dealership to purchase a new or used car. You finally decided on a car, a 2001 Dodge. The dealership suggested going to your bank as they were unable to acquire financing for you. You did that, signed all the papers at the bank, and were told that your monthly payment would be $236.70. After purchase, you discovered a front end dent, as well as a cracked rear taillight and some paint problem on the roof. The dealership repaired the taillight, but not the front end dent or the paint on the roof. Later you found some rust. Now, you want to return the car because either it is a lemon or you can't afford the payments, or both. First. You admit that you didn't look at the car too hard before purchase. That is your first mistake. You should have noted any items that required attention before purchasing the car and made the dealer put in writing that they would solve these problems. Talking to your original salesman, if those problems were noted at the time and he agreed to have them fixed, should be your first step. Second. You have no basis for a lemon law complaint. The lemon law is for problems that have been attempted to be fixed multiple times and have failed. You also have no hope of "returning" the car. So, those ideas need to go right now. Your option is basically a voluntary reposession of the car by the bank, and if that happens, kiss any chance of financing another car goodbye for many years. You could also attempt to sell the car for what you paid for it, but if you do not disclose the damage that you know about, you're doing the same thing as the dealer, assuming they knew about it. I completely disagree that you are being ripped off by the bank or dealership. The only possible ripoff is the dealer not standing behind their used car, but technically, if you didn't bring the relatively minor damage to their attention, it still comes back to you.
