Is there a law in Georgia that says i have 30 days to return a car?

In Georgia there is no cooling off period at all for the purchase of a car-not three days,not thirty days. Why did the dealer say he was repo'ing the car? were there pick up payments due?

I just bought a car from a dealer and i haven't even recieved my title and the transmission just went out.

There is not a used car lemon law in Ga but there is a new car lemon law. If you bought it used, experience tells that it was likely sold as is, without a warranty. If that is the case, the dealer is under no obligation to repair the vehicle. If used, the sole way to get to the dealer would be if you could establish that the dealer lied about or misrepresented the car before you bought it.

I bought a used car "as is" and realized it was flood damaged after a more careful inspection. The car fax was clean.

Under Georgia law, the dealer does not have to tell you a car's history. However, if the dealer tells you something about a car, it must tell you the truth. This is why it is important that you ask questions about the car. Ask if it has been wrecked. Ask if it has been flooded. In your facts you do not state what the dealer did tell you about the car before you bought it. Often dealers will say they inspect the car and nothing is wrong, or that all their cars went through a certification...

What do I need to do?

Did you sign any repair authorization or other acknowledgement of the expected cost of checking the transmission out? Generally, I believe it to be an unfair business practice to begin work in this situation without giving an anticipated cost of repair. Do you have a copy of the documents you signed when you took the car in for repair?

If you bought a car on installments today, can you return it tomorrow without any legal problems?

There is no "cooling off" period in Ga. You don't have a right to cancel a car deal within 72 hours or 24 hours. I don't think you want to take the old non running car and trade it to have debt added to your current car. I am assuming you bought the car at a used car lot.

How much time do i have to sue the seller becuz the car wont pass emisions

It is against the law in Georgia for anyone to sell a car that will not pass emissions or has not passed emissions in the past 12 months to a buyer that lives in a "clean air" county. See www.cleanairgorce.com. You can go to this web site and see the last time the car was submitted to emissions testing. You should confront the dealer with the failed emissions. You should point out the clean air force laws and demand your money back and cancel the deal. If he refuses, uou should consult...

Suing my sons school

Your son's teacher is a mandated reporter. That means if she suspects abuse or neglect she is under a legal obligation to report it. She could be criminally prosecuted if she did not report it. Along with the duty to report comes protection for those that report in good faith from being sued.

What other options do I have about obtaining my car title?

Under Georgia law, a seller has 30 days to deliver the title such that you can register the car. It is actually a crime to fail to deliver title within 30 days. If your seller fails to deliver your title within 30 days, sue him in small claims court for your money back. Another alternative if the title is lost is for your seller to post a bond for the title and get a replacement title.
