Bought an 05 Acura and upon driving it off the lot, I noticed a messed up rear interior. I also noticed two dings I didn't see in my hurry and excitement. Should I "live with" these knowing it's a used vehicle or should I make a big fuss about it, perhaps get a different vehicle?

There is NO right to return a car because you changed your mind.

I can not say this enough!!!
The 72 hours rule that everyone keeps talking about applies to in home sales. It does not apply when you go to a "normal place of business". It was designed to prevent people from being pressured into signing contracts just to get the salesman to leave their home. When you go to a place of business, you always have the option of walking out. You can not walk out of a sales situation in your own home.
When you take delivery of a vehicle, and drive it off the dealers lot, you own it!! The dealer is not required to take it back, and most likely will not. If he does, you will have to buy another vehicle from him, because he is not going to refund your money.
The dealer did not hide the " messed up rear interior" nor did he hide the two dings! Used cars are not perfect, that is why they are called "USED". No one forced you to buy the car! you should have looked it over more carefully if some minor cosmetic problems were that important to you. You can have the interior and the dings repaired, but you will have to pay!
Enjoy your new (to you) car!!

I work at a car dealership in Canada. As far as the two dings in the car they need to be fixed by the dealer free of charge. As far as returning the car, sorry, it must be a far bigger problem than that eg disclosure issues like insurance writeoff flood damage things like that. They will fix the dings (messed up rear interior????)

I'm not sure of PA law, but in NC...you have 3 business days to repeal any legal contract without penalty. I have used that loophole personally after a sale.
In response to comments regarding the "return policy"...like I said in North Carolina you CAN void a legal contract within 3 business days. And that DOES apply to cars...also vacuum cleaners or major ticket item requiring a contract. I worked in vacuum sales and dealt with that fairly regularly. I also returned a car I purchased on the third day due to reasons beyond my control.

how plenty funds are you keen to lose? i'm assuming you get carry of this motor vehicle with a private loan from the economic enterprise. What grow to be the pastime fee they charged you? in case you probably did you owe the economic enterprise the pastime that they charged you for borrowing the money PLUS you will pay all of that a refund. examine the base line of your economic contract. The area the place is says entire which incorporate all finance costs. it relatively is how plenty you will pay the economic enterprise earlier you could sell this motor vehicle and legally flow possession. in case you won't be able to examine the contract, call the economic enterprise and ask for the interior maximum loan payoff quantity. the version between what you owe the economic enterprise (the interior maximum loan payoff quantity) and what you could sell the automobile for represents the quantity of funds you will lose in case you attempt to sell this motor vehicle now.

I do not know the laws in your state, but you could go to the dealership and ask if they will 'fix' any of the concerns for you. In most states when you buy a used car, it is sold 'as is'. However, some dealerships do offer some warranties. Weather it cover normal wear and tear, may be an issue.
You could talk to someone in your states consumer protection division.

To clarify, the 3 day recission policy only applies to refinancing a home, not purchasing. As soon as you sign the closing documents for a home purchase, you own it.
