PleaseHelp Can I return a brand new motorcycle I just bought and financed yesterday?
I bought the bike before closing time-I know the paperwork wasn't sent in yet-I traded in a scooter and will have put around 16 miles on it by the time I bring it back to the dealer-They tacked on hundreds of dollars in fees and even told me I needed a lojack device almost $1000 more just in that-I made such a bad decision I am trying to get as much information before I go back to yamaha tommorrow-I am so worried I don't have a clue what my rights are
I live in Florida and don't know where to find any answers

Call your local BMV to see if they have motorcycle training class where they provide motorcycle. A 2-3 year old 250cc street bike by Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki might be best to learn on -- start in empty church parking lot and practice basics. My Yamaha FZ1 is one of the better values in the $7000 range -- 0-60 in 2.5 seconds -- 160MPH top speed. But I have just as much fun (or maybe more) riding my little RD350 around the city. The FZ1 or any similar bike would be dangerous to drive until you have started with a small bike (125-250cc) then moved up to intermediate bike 350-500cc) over a period of several hundred hours of riding. Remember -- people will not see you on the motorcycle -- drive like you are invisible and wear proper protection (long pants, riding jacket, boots, helmet) or you will not live long.

No. It's no longer a new bike, and has already depreciated in value. Look, nobody put a gun to your head to force you to sign the paperwork. The fact that YOU feel YOU made a bad decision is not sufficient reason for the dealer to cancel the deal. That's YOUR problem, not theirs. Legally, there is no "cooling off period" or "righ to cancel" a vehicle sales contract. Deals like this are final, and it doesn't matter if the dealer has sent in the paperwork or not, you signed the contract and took delivery. That constitutes a legal, binding contract. my friend - and you are on the hook. Grow up and enjoy your new motorcycle.

Most states have a 3 day Buyer's Right to Rescind "Buyer's Remorse Law" for most consumer product purchases. Unfortunately, motor vehicle purchases are usually exempt from this law. Once you sign the sales contract and accept delivery of the vehicle (i.e., drive it off the lot), you are obligated by the terms included in the contract.

I'm not sure about Florida but any credit agreement in the UK has a cooling off period of 14 days so this may be the case for you there - if they are a main dealer then they also have a reputation to uphold so try playing on that if necessary. Good luck!!

I thought florida had a 3 to 5 day "cooling off period" , but apparently not . Maybe just talk to them and see what they say, some places may understand and be willing to refund it and maybe just pay some sort of restocking fee .

Check to see if your state has a buyer's remorse law. Check with the consumer protection division. It is usually under the state attorney general. They should have a web site.

you probably have three business days to return the bike...
you will have to pay for the mileage you used, as the bike is no longer "brand new"
they will probably tell you they already sold your scooter to get you to keep the motorcycle...they havent (yet)
go there asap (when they open on tuesday morning) and be polite but extremely firm. as a last resort let them know your older sister/brother/father is an attorney...
good luck and go get a better deal somewhere else, motorcycling is a blast!

A motorcycle is the same as a car in this respect! There is no right to return the vehicle, just because you changed your mind.
Sorry
