It's been less than a month and I now want to return it. The dealership is now messing me around. Do I have any legal right? Or at least anything I can use when I call them tomorrow to try and get my full money back?

If ur in UK, unless the garage sold u a dud car u cannot expect the garage to give u ur full money back just because its not any good 4u. U should have checked it out properly and took it 4 a long test drive b4 buying.. The garage will possibly buy it back but will not give u back what u paid them, unless u decide to buy another car off them, but more expensive. U may be lucky and the garage may exchange the car 4 another, straight swap, some garages will do this because u will be so happy they did and u will tell everyone about how the garage helped u out, hence u could get the garage more buisness.
U never said why it wasnt good 4u please let me know.
Let me know how u get on.

PS. Dont push them anymore 4 ur money back as u will only piss them off. If the car is in good mechanical and bodily order then the garage has done nothing wrong. If however u see any defects in steering or brakes or anything that is checked in MOT and u have been given a new mot with ur car and it hasnt done much miles after and u suspect that ur car has been given a duff mot then u have ammo, but u have to be careful because if u start accusing them 4 giving ur car a duff mot u will piss them off even more, but if ur right and ur car has a duff mot then ur in with 99>999 % chance of getting ur money back as the garage wont want whoever supplied the mot cert to get into serious bother. Here is a tip, photo copy all ur car docs u were given as proof what was on them incase4 needed.
If the garage looks and acts reputabilly then he is doing nothing wrong as he sold u a car hopefully in good sound and safe order, in fact he didnt sell u it, u bought it, there is a difference depending how you approached him when buying a car, did u say I like that car over there and I want to buy it? or were u looking around and he asked u what type of car u needed, then he pushes the one u bought, if so he sold it to u although u bought it. Whenever buying a car or anything, u r stronger when u let them be the seller wanting to sell the car to u, rather than u saying I want to buy this car, right away u have expressed intrest that u wish to buy it and the person selling has got u.
Do I make any sense?, lastly, there are a lot of garages out there who advertise try car 4 up to 30 days if u dont like it return it in same condition as supplied but not with a few thousand miles put on it, and exchange it for another car.

When you say "it's no good for me" you indicate that it is you that does not want the car and not a failing of the car itself. If that is correct then you surely do not expect to get your money back
That would mean that they have just"hired" a car to you for a month for FREE
Get real and offer the dealership a chance to buy it back but you will not get the same money you paid for it
Remember that they work on profit
Remember that profit is not a dirty word

Get your full money back? So you went there, bought a car (I assume they didn't hold a gun to your head and make you take it) and now, after using it for 30 days, it suddenly doesn't meet your needs and you want a full refund and advice how to get that? Do I understand you correctly here?
Think of snowballs and hell.
Second hand. As is, or with warranty? If with warranty, they might fix something covered.
Even if they were willing to take it back, they wouldn't give you a full refund. Why should you have the use of the car for a month free?
If you don't like the car, sell it.

You do have the legal right to be stupid and ask idiotic questions.
Of course you cant return the car just because you dont like it. The trader will just laugh at you and rightly so. Sell it and buy something else.

unless you have it writing that the car can be returned within a certain amount of time you are stuck with it. Is it a lemon and they did not tell you- then maybe but not likely

if its not faulty
then see if u can swap it
for a similar priced car
u may have to take a loss
in value
because your car will
now be third owned
or whatever
and that will affect the forecourts/dealers
price they can ask when selling it again

If there is nothing mechanically wrong with the car then you may not have much of a chance.......
