How long do you have to return a used car in va?

Virginia law, specifically the Used Car Warranty Act, provides a three-day or 3,000 miles Right of Rescission (cooling-off period) when you purchase a used vehicle. This period begins from the date of delivery of the vehicle to the buyer.

During this three-day period, the buyer has the right to return the vehicle to the seller and get a full refund, provided certain conditions are met.

- The buyer must return the vehicle in substantially the same condition as it was when purchased. Buyers should document any pre-existing damage or issues on the purchase or lease agreement.

- Some additional conditions and exceptions apply, such as the buyer returning the vehicle with the same amount of fuel as it had when purchased, and providing proof of not being able to reach a resolution to any problems or concerns.

- If there is a trade-in involved in the transaction, the buyer should bring the title and any other required paperwork related to the trade-in.

- Any additional fees or add-ons purchased with the vehicle, such as extended warranties, gap insurance, or other products, are usually non-refundable.
