I haven't got many of the details but my neice just bought a car (yesterday) from a used car dealer and the car has already broke down. Can she return the car and get out of the deal or is she stuck with the piece of junk?

Take the car back to the dealership and ask them what they are going to do about it. If they say they are going to do nothing tell them you will contact the bank and let them know that the car is already broken down.... Banks don't want to hear this. If he paid cash she needs to be nice and ask them what they are going to do to fix this problem. They don't have to help but it is in their best interest to because you can cause a big stink if they don't. Car dealerships have a bad image something like this could scar the dealership if it got out. She more then likely cannot get out of the deal. A return policy is not a law at all. It would be a dealership policy or not at all. There is no law that states that there is a return policy so try to be nice and they might be nice in return. Good luck hopefully your niece can get either this car fixed or a better car.

Unfortunatley, if she signed the bill of sale and all the finance contracts (if there was any) then she owns the car outright. The only way she may be able to get out of it is if she can prove they sold her an unsafe automobile, get the car checked by an independent garage and see if it passes a safety check. If it does then it will be harder for you to claim the dealer was at fault. Does the dealer have an exchange policy, if so, take advantage of it. You can complain to your chamber of commerece or the better business bureau if you feel he used bad business practises.
I hope this helps, i am in the car biz and this stuff happens. Its a good thing you bought from a dealer instead of a private sale, you would have 0 recourse if it was private.

Return it right away, most states have a law that states you can return the car within 30 days.

She should have anywhere from 2wks to one month to return unless she bought "buyer beware" Depends on the used dealer.

Call the dealer right away... if he does not want to help... call the
consumer fraud division at the DA's office in your town right away

Cosigning does not furnish her any rights, PERIOD. She authorized an OBLIGATION to pay if you happen to default. If you default, AND she honestly will pay, then, and ONLY then, can she sue for the quantity paid. Even then, she has no declare for the harm to her credit score ranking.
