What makes a car contract null and void?
If the APR is different on the contract that what I am getting, can I return the car? I did not sign a new contract with an updated APR. Original contract signed on the 11th of last month, updated contract signed on the 21st. Now I have another APR and have not signed a new contract. I no longer want the car as the service at the dealershiip has beent terrible. Can I return the car? My traded in car is still at the dealership.

If the APR is in the contract itself, then if you do not get that APR you may be entitled to terminate the contract if the APR you are charged is worse for you. (You can't terminate contracts because you are doing better than you had agred to.) In case, termination would be for material (or important) breach of the contract, by you being charged a different APR. However, the APR must be in the contract itself to afford grounds to terminate; you can only terminate a contract without penalty when there is breach of the contract's own terms.
