Can a car dealer keep your money if you take the car back?

Question:
I recently purchased a car and was dissatisfied with it so I returned it. Because the car was used and had just been traded in, I didn't take the car home on the day I signed the contract for financing nor did I leave my downpayment until I returned 2 days later to pick up the car.

Is Honda Civic better than Toyota Corolla?


Upon getting the car home, I noticed that the passenger's side windows didn't work, though they had when I originally saw the car. The dealer removed the window tinting that was on the car so it could pass inspection. In doing so, the windows didn't work. The car also had other mechanical issues.

where is a good place to buy a car other than traditional car lots?


Because of this, I didn't feel comfortable keeping the ca or exchanging it since the dealer knew of the issues like the windows. When I returned the car they refused to return the downpayment stating that I had signed a contract, though I had only had the car for 2 days and signed the contract 2 days prior to taking the car. Can a dealer do this or does the 3 day rule / right to resind apply?

Down Payments?


Give the dealer a chance, it could be just a new window switch needed, they did try to fix the problem when you went back, they want you as a satisified consumer, I have had many minor things over the years like this in the past and minor problems will be taken care off...now if you had a tranny problem then you would have a concern...cool down

You have 3 days to break a contract from the time it is signed and most used cars are sold as is no warranty.

.how to settle a financed car that you share, now that we broke up?

I hate to tell you this but the 3 day rule is only if they come to you and not when you go to them. Check with you states attorney s office hope I am wrong. But the biggest problem you will have is if you don't make the payments. The bank will put a repo on your credit report and that will stay there for up to ten years. I am not being harsh here but it is not the banks fault the car is A LEMON. You in a ruff spot.

5. no such thing as a 3 day law to take it back. there is a 30 day lemon law but you have to go through channels for that and a broke window is not gonna fall under lemmon law. the car has to litterally fall apart going down the road for that.

Is it to late to back out of a car deal?


6. this is exactly what dealerships get bad raps.....its not the dealers fault yet they get blamed for what customers do. dealerships are not rip off artists, they are trying to run a business. can you go buy a dress, wear it out, go back to the store and say....you know...this doesn't go with my eyes, I want to return it....they will say you are crazy cause you wore it. no different with a car.....you drive it off the lot after you sign....its yours baby.

7. no dealership can know what is all wrong with a car as they didn't not own it. they bought it at an auction, did a basic check of all the systems, cleaned it up and you bought it. its your job to get it fully inspected and checked out, not the dealers.

When I buy a used car in California, do I have to pay California state tax if it is being exported to Canada?


8. what you should of done is go back and ask them to repair the window, nicely. I am sure they would of done it for you. but if you go back demanding things....they aren't gonna help you when they don't have to.

which is better FORD or CHEVY?

Since you had the car 4 days 3 rule/right to resend does not apply. As soon as you signed the contract that's when the 1st of the 3 day rule started. If it was a AS-IS warranty you singed off on everything when you signed the contract. Hope this helps.
Yes the car dealer keeps the cash
