Problem with car dealer, any advise?

[njsteve]

The stop payment was a good start but did you take out a loan for the van? Next thing is to immediately return it to the dealer. Park it directly in front of their front door, so they have to actually move it to get inside. This way they cant ignore it, or the problem. You need to be there exactly when the doors open tomorrow morning and demand that they cancel the contract. They sold you an obviously damaged vehicle, not a new one, and they never disclosed the fact.

Keep us posted.

By the way, that "they left for the day" crap is a complete lie. Its a business and they will always have someone with some level of authority there, otherwise they couldnt complete any sales.
