<prompt> Human: A used car salesman in Pennsylvania cut my mother a check for 2600 to help her cover her first few payments of her auto loan. Prior to that, she told him she wasnt ready to buy a car right now and was only looking. She told the man she had repairs she had to make on her house and she wouldnt be ready for a couple months. He said, well well cut you a check for the amount of the repairs plus enough to help you with your first few payments. She asked But after that point we still wont be able to afford the monthly payment. We told you we needed it to be 230 or less. He said no problem, at that time we can refinance and most likely get that payment down closer to where you need it to be.Now, my mother is definitely a dope for falling for this nonsense, but does she have any recourse whatsoever? She has figured out that she cannot afford this car and wants out. Some schister waved a check in front of her face and she bought it lock, stock, and barrel, but is it legal for his company to provide a buyer with funds for their first few payments of a loan gotten through a third party a local brick and mortar bank? I realize this is mostly on her, but Im just looking for a solution. If I knew she was even going to go looking, I would have went with her. Shes 70 years old and not quite as with it as she used to be.Thanks in advance for any suggestions andor advice.  <response>: Why did she go to a used car dealership if she wasnt ready to buy a car?As long as the loan application wasnt fraudulently filled out than what the dealer did was perfectly legal. And no, she has no recourse.
