I bought a car yesturday from the nissan dealer can i return it today? It was taken on credit.?

Question

Can you please help this is a serious question.

Answer 1

EACH STATE IS DIFFERENT. In my state, Arkansas, it's yours! No grace period whatsoever. In neighboring Oklahoma, they have 3 days. If you live in Oklahoma and buy in Arkansas, NO GRACE PERIOD. Find out what your state's law is. IT IS NOT A NATIONAL LAW.

Are you unhappy with the car? Did the dealer make a promise they didn't keep? Might just be buyer's remorse. VERY common occurence after a making any large purchase..

Good luck.

I'll add AGAIN, check with your state. Anyone that says a definitive yes or no, is clearly mistaken! Each state is different, and YES, some states have a 3-day buyer's remorse law, allowing a customer the 3 day period to return. Find out quickly from your state.

Answer 2

Sorry, but once you take delivery the deal is final. Unless your contract grants you a rigth of return or recission there's nothing that you can do to cancel the deal.

Many people are under the assumption that there is a 3-day "cooling off" period on contracts in general. This is NOT true, particularly as it comes to car sales. There is no right of recission in law in any state or at the Federal level as applies to car sales.

Some sales contracts may offer a return period but this is usually a sales gimmick. If you read the fine print, the restrictions are such that financially you are in the same boat as if you turned around and traded the car back to the dealer. In virtually all cases, the contract restricts you to swapping for another vehicle in stock that sells for the same or a higher price.

Contrary to what was posted by another individual, the CA "Buyer's rights law" did initially include a 3-day right of recission but the CA auto dealers' associations successfully had that provision removed from the law at the last minute.

OK does not have any 3-day right of return either -- I used to live there and consumer protections in OK are some of the weakest in the country.

The closest thing to a voidable vehicle purchase contract is in a few states that require a vehicle to pass a safety and emissions test AFTER the sale and provide a right of return if repair costs exceed a certain percentage of the sales price. MA is the only state that I know of with such a law; it applies to both dealer AND private sales.

Answer 3

Depends on the state where you bouth it, I am A manager at a Dealership in FL, if you took possesion of the car at the dealership and you where aproved you are an owner, there are no laws that a dealer has to take a car back with the exception of Cali that I know of. Some dealerships however have a policy that would allow you to return it, in fact auto nation, will take them back before 3/days 150 miles... if the dealership doese not have a return policy just be a pain in the ***, about giving it back somtimes that works too! PS any one telling you there are laws about returning a car are incorrect.

Answer 4

Depending on what state you live in, you can return the car as long as it is within 72 hours. Also, most states limit the number of miles you could put on it without being charged mileage fees by the dealer. If they refuse to take the car back, I would speak with a lawyer about your rights and possibly drop the car off on the lot and turn your plates into DMV and procees with a lawyer. Also, call the bank to let them know you returned the car so it doesnt affect your credit by showing you not paying for it.

Answer 5

Most states do NOT have a 3 (or 5) day right to rescind law for vehicles. Once you sign the contract the vehicle is yours. You can call the dealership and try to plead your case to the general manager, but legally the vehicle is yours. Check your state's attorney generals web site to see your consumer rights regarding car purchases.

Answer 6

I had the seem situation happen and they will try to tell you that once you drive the car off the lot they can not take it back, but that is not true. I do not know what state you live in but you can contact the better business bureau or look up the consumer protection laws online they have a section that specifically deal with car dealerships. I don't know the specifics but I believe you have 3 business days. Hope it helps you get started!

Answer 7

I'm not too sure about the credit part, but when I bought my car from a dealership there was a 30 day period where I could bring the car back if I changed my mind or didnt like it etc-I would lose my initial deposit on it, but would get the rest of the money back.

Answer 8

No..it's too late...you already signed a contract....the only way to take it back would be if you lived in Calif....theres a new law that lets you take back a car....but...there has to be problems with it and you have to get an equal or greater value car...from the same dealer.....which kinda sucks because of the low quality of cars the dealer may sell by example.

Answer 9

yes, the US has a law that any car "business" has to accept returns or whatever of a minimum 3 days. I would suggest buying a car from a lot that offers a whole lot more than that though. =)

Answer 10

I'm almost certain that you can take it back. I just bought a car a few weeks ago and they told me that I had up to 3 days to change my mind, even after bringing it home. So if you are going take it back, you should definitely go up there today.
