We just leased a car and bought a car on 1/29/07, we traded 2 vehicles, now we want to get the trades back?

Question

and give back the 2 new cars....feel like we got screwed on the deals..legally anything to do?

Answer 1

Depends on your state! Some states give you like 30 days to take back a car you purchase. In some states it's final. There are different rules for leasing. You might not be able to get your cars back. However, if you think they did something unethical, you can sue them for damages.

Either way, it's probably a matter of negotiation. You should call them up.

It might be hard, but your best bet is to try and be nice to them! If that doesn't work, you can threaten to sue.

Answer 2

Find out about your state laws, in some states it's final, some give a 3-day period, some may be more generous than that. Even if out of the grace period, you can ask the dealer about doing it, but chances are you won't get very far (never know if you don't ask or try, though).

Chances are good that your old vehicles are already sold and gone, especially if they were older or had high miles on them (many get sold to wholesalers).

Even if you are able to do this, they may charge you for any miles and damage to the car.
