Weeeell ... maybe.
But, my guess is that the document you signed is NOT the bill of sale and you are NOT contractually bound to purchase this vehicle.
However, it is commonplace for dealers to TELL YOU that it's a contract and that you MUST BUY IT.
Basically ... they're lying.
They don't want you to go elsewhere; they want to lock you into the idea that this is a done deal. It isn't, and they know it, but figure the buyer does NOT know it. And so they bully you into believing it.
That doesn't mean yours is not a binding contract; it may be. But, I doubt it.
If the dealer bought this used car from another dealer on your say-so, and paid to have it transported to them, then I do think you have a duty to compensate them for that, if only by buying a different vehicle from them ... such as a
new FR-S. Otherwise, they're stuck with a used car they may not want.
It's an interesting legal and ethical question.
You have a copy of the document you signed, right?
Does it show a full description of the vehicle, INCLUDING THE VIN?
