If your new car has some problems, how to return it?

Question

We bought a new Toyta Corola 2007 a few months ago, and we totally not happy. First of all it's not working well. And the finance rates are really hight.

Answer 1

"it's not working well. And the finance rates are really hight."

That sounds like a cop-out to me. Buyers remorse, if you will.

You own it.

How would you like it if I bought a car from you and two months later came back and said what you are saying here?

Why do people think they can do these things? You decided to buy- ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY for it!

Your not 6 years old anymore- stop acting like it. Grow up, pay your bills, and watch them rates go down.

Answer 2

Well, there's good news and bad news. As for the good news, you have a new car bumper-to-bumper warranty and the dealership will fix everything for the duration of said warranty.

As for the bad news, the dealership is required by law to disclose the finance rates. If they did, and you signed, you are in a legally binding contract and there is no way to get out of it unless you sell it or trade it in and take a huge depreciation hit. In fact, bear this in mind.... the amount you would loose trading or selling that car is probably more than the total amount of interest you will pay over the life of the loan.

My advice is this... make sure the dealer fixes everything, and if they can't seem to fix it, investigate lemon laws for your area.

If they do fix it, learn an important lesson and don't let the heat of the moment get you to sign for a higher finance rate than your credit qualifies for....

Answer 3

I doubt that you could return it, "however" it must be covered by warranty; read your contract.
As for finance rates, you "should always", read the fine print, on what ever you sign.
You may be able to refinance, at a lower rate.
ps...If you have "genuine" problems with the car, and, it is covered by a warranty, "if the dealer" is unattentive, take legal action, against the dealer.
best of luck.

Answer 4

Since you didn't know what the interest rate was when you purchased the car, I bet the "problems" you are having have NOTHING to do with defects. You probably are unhappy with the car because you didn't do any research and are only now discovering it's the wrong car for your needs, RIGHT?

If there really are defects, TAKE IT IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS! Toyota is very much interested in maintaining it's reputation for reliability.

Even Toyotas have SOME problems. NEVER had any problems with either of my Toyotas though.

Answer 5

Depends on what state you live in with the local stautes on the Lemon Laws, sounds like you are experiencing buyers remorce, can't return a car when you got the screws on financing.

Answer 6

Yeah I would return it!! It depends on if you had a warranty and how long was it? Some car lots go by that. But if its not working I would send it back! Its a 2007, it should run like an athlete

Answer 7

If you have had it for a few months its yours. You have a one year /12,000 mile adjustment period for the car. Take it to the dealer and tell them your concerns. If you get no satisfaction from that, call Toyota head office in your country and complain. What problems are you having? They are normally a good car.

Answer 8

unfortunately younow own it
but itis under warranty so get it back to the dealer the repairs are free.the only way to get out of it is the lemon law ,but they have to try to fix the same problem three times generally toyotas are good cars so definatelyhave the dealer check it out

Answer 9

Oh I hear those cars have a problem of falling into a large body of water one midnight about 2 weeks from now!
