Here are the key points regarding returning a car within 3 days in Oklahoma:
1. Used Motor Vehicles: The Lemon Law applies to used vehicles, not new ones.
2. Three-Day Right to Rescind: You may have the right to rescind the purchase contract and return the vehicle within 3 days if the dealer made false, fraudulent, or misleading statements to induce you to buy the car.
3. Express Warranties and Implied Warranties: If the used car comes with an express written warranty or certain implied warranties, such as merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and you discover within the first 30 days that the car does not meet these warranties, you may return the vehicle.
4. Repair Attempts: You must provide the dealer with a reasonable opportunity to repair any nonconformity with the express or implied warranties before returning the vehicle. If the dealer cannot repair the defects within a specified time frame, you can return the car.
Here's a step-by-step process to return a car within 3 days in Oklahoma:
1. Review the Purchase Contract: Carefully read the purchase contract and note any warranties, terms, and conditions related to returning the vehicle.
2. Inspect the Vehicle: If you discover any significant issues or problems with the vehicle that were not disclosed or not noticeable during the test drive, promptly notify the dealer.
3. Express Intent to Rescind: Within 3 days (excluding Sundays and legal holidays) from the date you signed the purchase contract, send a written notice to the dealer expressing your intent to rescind the contract. Be sure to include the date of purchase, vehicle details, and the reasons for returning the car.
4. Return the Vehicle: Once the dealer receives your written notice, you must return the vehicle within 10 days in substantially the same condition as you received it, except for ordinary wear and tear.
5. Refund or Replacement: Upon returning the vehicle, you are entitled to a full refund of the purchase price, including any taxes, title, registration fees, and other charges. Alternatively, you may ask for a replacement vehicle of comparable value.
Remember, Oklahoma's Lemon Law has specific requirements and exceptions. It's advisable to consult with an attorney or your state's Consumer Protection Agency if you have questions about returning a car within 3 days or exercising your rights under the Lemon Law.
