My wife traded a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander with 50,000 km on the clock and I believe that the dealer ripped her off. He gave her a damaged 2004 BMW 3-Series E90 with 167,000 km on the clock and $5000 cash. He is trying to tell me that the BMW is value is $10,000 and what I find funny is the day my wife got it home I rang up to cancel the contract, but was told that there is no cooling off period and I said there was and then I was told that the car is already sold.

There is a cooling-off period in Victoria. You have three clear business days from the time you sign the contract of sale to change your mind, but you automatically lose that right if you accept delivery of the car within that period. By taking it home your wife forfeited the right to the cooling-off period.
