It was originally structured by the FEDs to be home loan specific however it's been expanded to lender discretionary for consumer purchases above $25.

 

The right of rescission is intended to protect consumers who are seeking to refinance their existing home mortgage, from unscrupulous mortgage lenders. It only applies to the refinance of an existing home mortgage with a lender that is not holding your current mortgage. As far as other consumer purchases, the State of Illinois allows the right of rescission only in cases where it was a door to door sales contract exceeding $25. If the OP had purchased the bike from a door to door Harley Davidson sales person, he might have a case.

The right of rescission does not apply to any transaction
(a) made pursuant to prior negotiations in the course of a visit by the consumer to a retail business establishment having a fixed permanent location where the goods are exhibited, or the services are offered, for sale or lease on a continuing basis;






Sec. 2B. Where a sale of merchandise involving $25 or more is made or contracted to be made whether under a single contract or under multiple contracts, to a consumer by a seller who is physically present at the consumer's residence, that consumer may avoid the contract or transaction by notifying the seller within 3 full business days following that day on which the contract was signed or the sale was made and by returning to the person, in its original condition, any merchandise delivered to the consumer under the contract or sale. At the time the transaction is made or the contract signed, the person shall furnish the consumer with a fully completed receipt or contract pertaining to the transaction, in substantially the same language as that principally used in the oral presentation to the consumer, containing a "Notice of Cancellation" informing the consumer that he may cancel the transaction at any time within 3 days and showing the date of the transaction with the name and address of the person, and in immediate proximity to the space reserved in the contract for the consumer's signature or on the front page of the receipt if a contract is not used, a statement which shall be in bold face type, in at least 10‑point type and in substantially the following form:
"YOU, THE CONSUMER, MAY CANCEL THIS TRANSACTION AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT OF THE THIRD BUSINESS DAY AFTER THE DATE OF THIS TRANSACTION. SEE THE ATTACHED NOTICE OF CANCELLATION FORM FOR AN EXPLANATION OF THIS RIGHT."
Attached to the receipt or contract shall be a completed form in duplicate, captioned "NOTICE OF CANCELLATION" which shall be easily detachable and which shall contain in 10 point bold face type the following information and statements in the same language as that used in the contract:

 

It seems that the manager here is trying to resolve the issue so I would at least here him out and attend the meeting.

 

I am in your area which is S/W of Chicago, and sure would like to know what dealer this is. Sounds like they want to work it out with the call for a meeting. Might be good to see what they have to say? They need to step up and make this right in a big way. Dropping that kind of cash and then get the "We are not a tow service" is going to be hard to recover from. If by chance the dealer has the opportunity to read this they also have the opportunity to step up and take care of business.
Will be watching this one!! Good luck,

 

We have the 3 day return also. I'd return that thing and NEVER step foot in there again.

 

Last winter my dealer was doing the 103 stageII for free when you bought a new bike.

 

Not sure about other states, but in Florida, the 3 day law only applies to in home solicated sales. If someone comes to your home to sell you something, you have 3 days, if you go to someones place of business, no such law or rule, unless it is refinancing a real estate loan.

 

That's a terrible way to treat someone after they just spent big bucks at your Dealership. I've never been a Dealer basher, in fact I've taken up for Dealer's on this forum, but after my last Purchase, I'm beginning to wonder wtf is going on with these Dealer's. My wife and I decided because of her health issues, we would take her SG Trike and my RK and get a 2012 Triglide. I called around and found the one we wanted not far from Home. We made the Deal and went to get the bike. I had to trailer our two bikes there to pick it up because my wife's only been out of the Hospital a week. While buying the bike I ask about getting a Bumper installed. I also told the Guy the rims looked like they hadn't been cleaned since the tires were installed. He said, no problem I'll take care of it. went out to load the bike, rims hadn't been touched. They charged me 75.00 to put four bolts in that held the bumper. The lady double charged my credit card for my 500.00 deposit to hold the bike. No one has followed up on the sale to ask if I'm happy. Needless to say this Dealer will not see me again. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've bought my last Harley.

If any ones interested, I have the Mustang seat you see in my sig pic for sale in classified section. I'll give someone a fantastic deal!

 

Agreed. This kind of lack of service, at least to me, is so severe that I don't know if they could do something to make me forgive it. But I would at least listen to what they propose. If I were the dealer, I'd offer to so the engine upgrade for the price of the parts, free labor. The dealer could eat the labor without being hurt too bad. If I were the OP I would accept that offer and kill this thread. I somehow doubt the dealer will go this far. If they would tell the OP something like they did over the phone, they'll probably try to do something cheap like pay for the tow. At this point that wouldn't work for me, but I would listen to the offer.

this happens all the time.....your a brother before the sale and a red headed step child after the sale. Obviously, the dealer saw no way to bill the motor company so they thru their hands up in the air and said did my job.
