I am just giving my two cents here but it sounds like the guy did not do his job if he did not have your pay stubs prior to closing this deal! Heck, I would go in and tell them you want a refund! I once returned a Toyota....cars can be returned. It is not easy and I am not saying it can be done often or easily, but if you focus on something, frequently you can make it happen.
 
You just need to find the the angle of what the injustice was and stay on it until you feel like you cannot fight anymore...I am now wondering if they had some computer program showing fake credit scores! I would look into this angle. I know credit scores can vary from the three agencies but still, did they tell you which agency they used? You could check with that agency (just pay for the report, it will be worth it) and find out what your score was that day. Who knows? You could crack open a huge case of them misleading the public with artificially deflated credit scores...there are so many games that can be tried out by a dishonest dealership. I do not believe most are dishonest, but the few dirty ones can be very dirty.
 
This whole deal smells funny. It's not the price you paid that's the problem b/c we all learn from our experience....it is everything...the credit score discrepency, the throwing in of the warranty in a deceptive manner, etc etc..And you can cancel the armrest since they have not called you...Years ago I did that with lojack...it's nuts, they take your money and it takes months to get the stuff!! Unreal!
 
People say I am a bulldog b/c when someone wrongs me, I sacrafice a lot of my time, energy, and sanity to seek justice either by phone calls, letter writing, or small claims court. I have been known to sit in law libraries for days...This transaction is weighing on you and I think you need to look closely at each issue and work on it...The more you uncover, the better your case will be for returning the car but if you find that they lied about your credit, you would have them big time!
 
Well, good luck and just remember that at the end of the day, the extra money you spent over the amount you would have liked to spend is not earth changing or life changing and it is valuable experience for the next deal. I am soooo much different now than I was years ago on my first car. It's very hard to find your voice in a dealership, which is why it is best to find a dealership who will agree to terms before you walk in....they want to sell cars, they can at least firm up a deal before you come...something that everyone can live with. This approach works but not with every dealership but you find one that it works with and you promise yourself you will walk right out if they try and change the terms...
 
Anyway, take care, good luck, and seek justice if you have been wronged in any way.

This old rumor keeps coming up.
 
As the others have said there is no 3 day right of recession on cars.
 
This applies to solicited sales such a door to door vacuum cleaner sales or a time share. Not cars,

I never said that there WAS a three day right of rescission on cars. I am saying that I have indeed returned a car in the past! People can choose to attempt to assert themselves and try to seek justice where there is injustice.
 
And, in some states, you cannot even buy a car on the spot because there is a waiting period to allow people to change their minds so things to vary from state to state but that is really not the point here, I am just mentioning it.

And there are some dealers that have a stated return policy, e.g. one dealer group in my area has a five-day, 500 miles, no-questions-asked, 100% return policy on their cars. I think as the car market tightens further, we might see more of that kind of thing as dealers try to differentiate themselves.

Well, either the law has changed since 2007, or the 3-day thing is only the law in PA.
 
When we bought our Kia last year, we were told by the dealer that the law was that we would be allowed to change our minds with in 3 days (72 hours). I assumed it was federal law, but I guess it was either state or city?

It wasn't you that said that. It was taximom.

backy, are you sure it isn't an EXCHANGE program?
 
Otherwise that program would be ripe for abuse!

Here in Atlanta there is a dealership that has a return policy like backy said...it helps you buy with confidence...I do not think most people would return their cars b/c they probably fall in love with them. As for Honda, usually prices stay fairly high so it's not like someone can go from one Honda place with a return guarantee and find a cheaper deal somewhere else...In 07 when I shopped Team Nissan in Lithia Springs GA had that deal about returning and the Team Honda place might have had it too but I just cannot remember...
 
Anyway, returning a car definitely varies from state to state and dealership to dealership....

No, it is not an exchange program. As for "abuse", it would be a lot of trouble for someone to buy a car just to drive it for a few days, then return it with no real intent to buy it.

In most cases, you would be correct but you underestimate what some people will do.
