You most likely can't return it. Most state, contrary to popular myth, do *NOT* have a buyer's remorse law. Once you sign that contract, unless there's a clause allowing you some time period to get out of it, there's no way to get out of it.
That's why it's important to test drive a car and make doubly sure you love it before you buy it. |

Now for the correct answer.
Auto finance is what I do for a living and unless your State has a buyers remorse law you are stuck.
Once a customer signs the paperwork and drives the vehicle off the lot they own it period no matter what anyone says.
Additional information:
All that means is you still owe the down payment money, no legal means to get out of your contract unless like I said before your State has a buyers remorse law.
Just thought of something, if you required special finance to buy your car most special finance banks do a customer interview to make sure that you bought the car the dealer said you did. When they call tell them that you no longer want the car and they will make the dealer unwind the deal. |

they depreciate in value as soon as you drive them off the lot, so even if you sell it back to them, you will owe on it. |

Most states have a buyer's remorse law that allows you to return anything within a certain amount of time for a full refund.
The dealership will not want to have anything to do with taking the car back. There is much paperwork and a financer involved... titling issues, etc... They may lose money on the car. They will lose money on the deal.... Even if you find out what the laws are in your state, you may not be successful returning the car without the help of a lawyer. If I knew the law for certain, I'd just take the car to the dealer and leave it. Maybe have someone take a video explaining what you're doing. Then start to worry about getting your refund later, after they know they can't talk you out of it. After they realize you brought it back in the required amount of time and they illegally have the car and the money...
They may try to charge you for this and that... If it sounds like less than what a lawyer would cost, probably just pay it or keep the car... Although, don't be afraid to walk away and consider their offer or call an attorney
Whatever you do... do it fast. You may only have a couple days. Cars are generally worth at least $2000.00 less the moment you drive them off the lot. A buyers remorse law is your only hope to get rid of that car without losing a lot of money in the deal. Any trade-in deal, etc... You're going to lose big time.
EDIT: I'm sure it's true that you signed a contract to purchase the car. I'm sure they'll have 100 reasons you can't return the car. Find out what the buyer's remorse law is in your area and go by that. No contract is above the law. |

Unlikely. Once the car has left the dealer's lot you lost 20%. |

Nope. As soon as you took it off the lot, it's value went down, but seriously, it's a vehicle, it moves, it's new. Get over it and be thankful you have a warrenty. I had to buy a used vehicle because I couldn't afford to buy something new, and I didn't get a warrenty or the reassurance that everything will be okay if it breaks down. |

Hope you know you lost several grand as soon as you drove it off the lot. I'm going to take a wild guess and say they will not take it back. You'll have to sell it out as a used car. (in which you will still owe money on it bc no one is going to pay full price for a USED car.)
No dealership is going to forget about a downpayment. you're not fulling anyone. |

depends on what your arrangement was with the dealership. |

If there was a return policy on new cars where you purchased a vehicle, they would have acknowledged that fact to you and you would have signed a paper on it. Even at dealerships that have a money-back guarantee (usually only lasts a few days), you still will not be refunded for taxes, tag transfers, dealer fees, etc. Next time be a smart buyer and know what you're getting into before you sign anything. |

I think you can return it within 24 hours in some states.
I could be wrong. |

It's called Buyers Remorse. You may get them to take it back, some states have a grace period at the beginning of a contract. I have no idea about yours. |

Depends on the contract you signed and how many miles you put on it. You need to read the contract you signed. Some offer a 48 hour "backout" clause. |

no if u signed the documents n paid the deposit that means u agreed to buy the car.if u return the car or even ur car is still in the showroom or u still haven't drived the car,ur car is considered sold n becomes secondhand car,so u can't get full refund of ur money.in fact all these r stated in the hp agreement.take care. |

You have probably signed a "Contract of Sale" document, so probably no is the answer. If you have driven it out of the showroom it has just become a 2nd hand car. Look at it this way...you have a brand new car with a good warranty...at least you didn't buy a dodgey 2nd hand car from some back street dealer...to clarify your situation contact Fair Trading on Monday morning for further advice or info.
We all make mistakes...yours could be worse! |

Unfortunately, most automobile purchase agreements contain a clause stating that you may not cancel the contract. That's the law in CA anyway.
Check the contract you signed when you bought the car.
The dealer may be willing to take it back. But they will probably not want to give you all your money back.
Good luck! |

Gooood Luck. A dealer can at his discretion take the car back as an exchange for another car or at a considerable loss. And since the car is financed, the paperwork to transfer the financing to another car will be difficult. You would be better off to turn around and re-sale it yourself. |

Three days is the limit. Call your salesperson right away and let them know you're bringing it back. |

Yes, you can absolutely return it.I have done it before.I think theres a period where you can return it without losing any money. |
|

generally yes within 30 days but they will put you thru hoops, and try to get you trade up and stuff like that, |
|

I think it is like anything else you buy you have a time period on how long you can go if you want to return it.Just call the dealership and talk with them.
And then if that does not work call a lawyer but I think it is 30 days. |

Most dealships give you between 15 and 30 days to return it.. you need to read your contract... if all else fails do what I did.. I had 20 days left on my 30 return with no questions asked contract and they would not take back the car. so I drove it to the dealship and brought it about 2 inches from the showroom window and told them if they didnt take it back I was going to drive it through the window..@@@ it worked they took it back real fast... |
