Cancelling a contract to buy a car

Licensed dealers in Australia are required to provide you with a copy of a contract for sale when you decide to buy a car.

This contract becomes legally binding once it’s signed by you and the dealer. It is important to note cooling-off periods don’t apply to car purchase contracts in Western Australia. You can withdraw from the deal before signing the contract without any penalty.
