It's a common complaint -- people say they buy a
used car and then realize there's a problem. Do they have recourse? Walt Kane is in your corner to explain your
rights and expose one common myth.
Neeka has an issue with a
used car dealer. She says she was sold a used car and returned it two days
later after a mechanic check, but when she returned it, they didn't want to
refund the money.
Neeka even sent pictures of
what her mechanic found, and looking at them, it's clear why the mechanic
thought there were problems.
But Neeka has a problem of her own, it's a big one -- simply put: cars are not
returnable.
Over the past few years,
there's been a myth circulating on the internet and social media that says you
have three days to return a car for a refund -- that's just not true. Once you sign the contract, the
car is yours, so unless It's covered by a warranty or the used car lemon law
kicks in, repairs are on you.
It’s a shame because Neeka
did do something Walt always advises car buyers to do if possible: she got a
mechanic to inspect the car, but you have to do that before you buy.

question, or know something Walt needs to investigate?
