I have an 07 Cobalt. My back has been hurting since I bought the car, I think it has to do with the seat and the door. I have adjusted it every way possible. Any suggestions?

If you can convince them it is real estate (a house) then yes.
You bought it, gotta pay for it. I bet the dealership will trade on it though!

Sometimes the automakers have special promotions or 30 day test drives that allow a buyer to return a car, but with a ton of fine print and limitations. If something like that isn't spelled out in the fine print of your paperwork then I doubt your covered. Read the bill of sale and all the fine print and see if you can find any details there. Unless the car is defective, has spent a great deal of time in the shop for warranty work then the lemon laws won't apply either.
The real answer depends on the state you live in or bought the car from, how the deal was handled, whether cash or financed, whether you bought the car off the lot or the internet, all kinds of things. The best thing for you to do is talk to the dealer and see if they are willing to work with you for a different model off their lot or see a consumer advocate that can explain the laws of your state. The sooner the better.

This depends on the dealership contract that was signed at the time of purchase. Unless your state has a law that protects your rights. A "lemon law" usually applies to a new car, but must be established by the car being repaired multiple time on the same problem. Only then is the car deemed unrepairable or a "lemon".
I would read your contract to see if it has a grace period and for how long the period is.

I own a shop, and deal with some things like this once in a while. The truth of the matter is this; it really depends on what state you are in. Some states have the 30 day law, while others do not, and this explains why you get conflicting answers. I think if you took it back to the dealer you got it from, they would let you trade it in on something else. They may or may not have to honor the 30 day thing, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!

I'm pretty sure it would depend on the Dealer you bought the car from and what their return policy is.
Also, remember that as soon as you drive a new car off the lot it depreciates immediately...so again, depending.
Best advice right now would be to pull out your contract and read the fine print...I'm sure this would be covered in there.
In other words, it depends on what you signed on to when you put your name on the dotted line.

i own a repair shop ,and a lot of people believe this,but in reality i don't think everyone who bought a car could return it,some say they have done it ,and probably did and there is supposed to be a grace period on it,but it works different in real life,you might can try this,but i doubt that thy will take it back because of the problem you just described,and if they did you would suffer a big loss in money ,plus stand to loose what you payed on a down payment on it,because once it has been registered,it is considered used,and looses a lot of its value,good luck i hope this helps.

See if you can take it back or trade it in for a 2008 Saturn Astra, that car is so nice and looks just awesome. It has the same styling as the 2007 Aura, Sky, and Outlook. a Dodge Avenger is also nice if you absolutley need a new car now, I love the styling on that just as much.

Yes, it is kinda true. The dealer is NOT subject to take it back, and if they do they have the right to make you pay for mileage and any damage done to the car (ex. tread on tires, spills), and they can make you pay for it to get professionally cleaned. Also if you put to much miles on it, then your stuck with it.

Cobalts ride rough and it sounds like you may have back trouble.

yes. in my state there is something called the "lemon law". it allows the buyer to return any vehicle within 30 days for trade or refund.
