How long do you have to return a car to the dealer?In: Car Buying |
[Edit] |
Answer
There is no 'Cooling Off Period' or "3-Day Right-to-Rescind" for completed automobile purchases anywhere in the USA (including Minnesota). Once a vehicle is "delivered", it's your vehicle unless either the dealership grants you a refund, or the financing falls through. A complete delivery is going to the dealership, signing all the necessary paperwork, then driving the vehicle off the dealership's property. It is important to know what contracts you are signing and how it will effect your payment. Never sign until you know all the figures and have a "We Owe" signed by the General Manager for any open or 'promised' items.
Exceptions: California dealerships must offer the customer an option to purchase a "3-day return policy". If the customers signs the waiver instead, then they do not get the ability to return the car. In addition, Carmax does offer a 5-day return policy, however that is not a law, it's a promotion they offer to their customers.

Lets make this simple: The contract binds the one selling to sell, and the one buying it to buy...according to the terms you both agree to and are contained in it. READ YOUR CONTRACT (that thing you signed and initialled all over that you agreed with the promises you were making, understood them, knew someone else would act on them, etc.). It is possible that the dealer allowed some possibility of return (baring lemon law issues which take months, if not years, to develop), int he agreement...but normally it also includes that yu would pay costs....like paperwork, titles, taxes, cleaning/restocking...etc that are incurred (which is clearly more than reasonable for them having acted on what you wanted and your changing your mind).
