Unfortunately there is no right of rescission on car purchases in Massachusetts. This is true even if you did not take possession of the car.

Arbitration is a process whereby the dispute between the vehicle manufacturer and the consumer is resolved by a neutral third party, an arbitrator.
By signing a contract with a mandatory binding arbitration provision, the dealer or lender can seek to resolve any disputes about the contract with an arbitrator, who is usually chosen by the dealer or lender. The arbitrator decides the dispute instead of a court.
If the dealer breached the contract or misrepresented the condition of the vehicle, then you can take legal action. If you signed a binding arbitration agreement, then you must first try to resolve this with the arbitration.
