    many purchase contracts have a three day right of rescission- expressly written or implied(due to state mandate) check it out with the state dept of consumer protection and find out what your rights are in your state.

    If you do not have a drivers license then the bank will not honor/cash the contract. Is it a bank contract or a buy here pay here lot. Do you have a license and you just are looking for a way out of the deal?

    This sounds like a bad case of deceptive practice by the dealer. new car dealers will tell you anything, in order to get your signature on the dotted line. selling a new car, without proper identification-drivers license-should have sent you a red flag from the beginning. new car dealers are not going to let a $30,000 automobile leave their showroom floor, unless there is payment in full, properly financed, or deceptive practice involved. you need an attorney. this could be criminal and civil violations of the law, by the dealer. i hope you read the fine print in the contract. dealers usually cover their tracks in the fine print.

    do you still have the new automobile? if so, it may not be yours much longer. now, the dealer can say they advised you to get a drivers license and if you did not, could cause them to repo the car for a breach of contract, especially if this condition was included in your contract from the beginning. run.....don't walk to an attorney.

    yes, but a deal is a deal, and should be horned by both parties.H should still sell you the car or risk being sued for breach in contract.

    I hope the car dealership isn't trying to give out legal advice, and that you don't think that's what you're getting. It may be that it is legally, technically possible for you to buy the car and transfer the title. But it may also be that you can't register it with your state. If you are required to show that you have liability insurance before you can register it, you may have a problem. Insurance companies would be within their rights to refuse to insure someone who can not legally drive. I'm not sure what's possible here, if the owner of the car can insure it for someone outside his household to drive routinely. So, it may be that they can sell you the car with no driver's license, but can't let you drive it off their lot. So, have you given them any money yet? If not, I would think you can get everything cancelled, unless you have already signed a loan agreement. If you've signed a loan contract or given them money, they have a lot more leverage. It may take some legal action or at least the threat, to get this undone. If you can get out of this, know that this is an unethical dealer, and look elsewhere. Before you decide to buy another car, find out what's up with your state's laws, and get your ducks in a row. If you have a relationship with an insurance agent, say for homeowners or renters insurance, he/she could be a good source for information, and what's doable. But you might want to spend a little time with an attorney, to find out what to do about the car you've bought, and what to do going forward.

    I assume you're wanting to learn to drive in your own car, rather than someone else's, you just need to find out if there's a way to do it.

    The simple answer is if your 18 years of age or older than you signed a legally binding contract...........They said "you need to get your license" or what are they going to do?, They want the sale so why not bring a licensed driver with you to drive the car off the lot.
