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?

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.

Has your dealership ever offered a 5-day, 500 mile money-back return policy on new cars? If so, what were the results? Did you find there was a lot of abuse?
