In some cases, you may be able to return the car within a certain number of days or miles. This is known as a "cooling-off period" or "return policy." The cooling-off period typically ranges from three to seven days, but it can vary significantly. Some dealerships may not offer a cooling-off period at all.
If you are within the cooling-off period and you decide to return the car, you will likely be required to pay a restocking fee or other penalties. The amount of the fee will vary depending on the dealership's policy.
If you are not within the cooling-off period, you may still be able to return the car if there is a substantial problem, such as a major mechanical defect. In this case, you may be able to exercise your lemon law rights.
The lemon law is a state law that protects consumers who purchase defective vehicles. The specific provisions of the lemon law vary from state to state, but they generally require the manufacturer to repair or replace the vehicle if it is found to be defective.
If you believe you have purchased a lemon law vehicle, you should contact the Office of the Attorney General or the consumer protection agency in your state. They can provide you with more information about your rights under the lemon law.
It's important to note that returning a new car can be a complex and time-consuming process. Before taking any action, it's a good idea to speak with an experienced attorney who can advise you on your rights and options.
