Replying to: blackmba (Jun 04, 2007 9:01 pm) Does she have any recourse, or a leg to stand on in NOT keeping the vehicle? We do this but we have the customer sign a subject to form. It basically has allot of legal mumbo jumbo about if you take the care and damage it then it is your car, the car is under your insurance, blah, blah, blah. We also put a line in that says it is subject a 24 hour ride and drive by the customer. If we do not here from the customer within 24 hours then then it is a done deal and we will process the paper work. If the car does not suit your needs then you can return it within the 24 hour period. Did she sign anything like that? We do it for a few reasons, so you can see if you really like the car, lets you take mental ownership, and if you have a trade it takes you out of the market because we have your trade in and before you can trade else where you have to bring our car back.

Replying to: blackmba (Jun 04, 2007 9:01 pm) I'm with joel on this...the only time I've seen a dealer allow for a "24-hour test drive" is after they have you sign a term sheet that essentially says, you've got insurance and that you'll be responsible for any damage or excess mileage on the car. Those term sheets also stipulate the amount of time you can keep the car. In order for her to have actually purchased the vehicle, I would imagine she also signed some sort of finance contract and some amount of money changed hands, in addition to signing a purchase agreement. It should be fairly clear what she signed. Just read the terms of the agreement. If it's a test drive agreement, and she complied with the terms, there should be no question that she can return the vehicle. If it's a purchase agreement and finance contract she signed, the dealership is right. She has no recourse. The car is hers.

Something similar to that. I think there was a contract cancellation option that she signed, but she signed the part of the paperwork to decline that option (lack of reading). So basically, I think she's stuck with it. Hopefully she can work out some type of exchange for a less expensive vehicle. The dealership has a decent reputation, so they may work with her to save face. **And thank you all for the responses. It was much appreciated!
