No, the minute you've signed the contract, the vehicle is yours. "Buyer's Remorse" is a myth pertaining to the buyer's supposed legal right to change their mind and return a vehicle after signing the contract. Not at all based in reality! This myth probably stemmed from a stipulation called the "Right of Recission" when refinancing a home loan, which allows the person refinancing a three-day "cooling off" period after signing the refinancing paperwork to change their mind and cancel the refi.

Texas:

I can't speak for other states, but, in Texas, the Lemon Law only takes effect if the car has been in three times for the same problem within a specified time frame (6 months or a year, I think). Also, it has to be something that renders the vehicle inoperable or dangerous. In other words, if your stereo keeps going out, or your power window is broken, then Lemon Laws do not apply.

Personal Experience:

If you live in California and you sign any contract, you will be unable to return the vehicle. In a rare case, I practically begged the manager of a used car lot to unwind the deal. I told him that my wife purchased a car for me prior to my purchase of their car, but I was completely unaware of it. They finally let me out, but withheld a $40.00 documentation fee and a 2.9% credit card surcharge. $178.00 is better than a $6000 used car that I decided that I didn't want. Also, when I purchased the car, I left it at the car lot and told them that I'll pick it up in a matter of days. I guess the unwinding of the deal helped for the simple fact that the car never left the lot and I came back the next morning. It only took me one night to think about the deal and realize that I wanted out. The most important thing is to not let the sales person pressure you into signing anything. Don't listen to 'this car may be gone tomorrow,' 'this is as low as I can go,' 'you will not find a deal better,' etc. It's all bull. It will get you in trouble if you sign the contracts, but you later want out. THERE IS NO WAY OUT AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. Everything is monitored and recorded from the minute you step on the car lot until you go to the back office to sign the 'nail in the coffin' contracts. Before you sign anything, go home and think about it. It will save you a lot of headaches. DON'T SIGN ANY CONTRACTS UNTIL YOU ARE COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH THE CAR!

It only takes one play. When you buy a game and you decide you want to return it, the store you return it to assumes that you have used it and they put it with the used games.


How long do you have after purchasing a new car to return if you decide you do not want it in pr?

What is pr? In california there is no "cooling off" period. People were abusing the "cooling off" law and buying cars, driving them for a while, then getting alll their money back, therefore a free rental, so the law was repealed in the late 70's

Is it safe to by from a online tire store?

As long as they have a secure site you are able to. I would recommend that you NOT do it though. YOu want to see up close what you are purchasing. Not to mention if the issue of return comes up.


How long do you have after purchasing a used car to return if you decide you do not want it?

You better have decided by the time you sign the contract, because after that you can't usually return it. In most cases the contract will state this in bold letters so you can't later claim you were misled about it. Some states require used car dealers to offer buyers the option to purchase a recission period (a short one, usually 3 days) during which they're allowed to change their mind and return the car. Note that I said "option" and "purchase" there. If you didn't purchase the option, then you don't get to return it.

How long do you have after purchasing a new car to return if you decide you do not want it in Washington State?

Unless you have a deal with the dealership, as soon as you put the key the ignition and start it, it's yours!! Really though, as soon as you sign the papers the car is yours. I know there's one car, I think it's a KIA, (don't quote me) that if you don't like the car, you can return it, but that's a factory warrantee, not the dealerships. And you would have known it if you bought one of those cars. It's your car now, enjoy it, or sell it.......


Can a 16 year old leave home in the state of South Carolina and not be brought back by the police if she does not want to go back to her dad27s house but will be in a safe house where she wants to liv?

No. The police return her home, rather she wanted to return or not; a minor does not get to decide where she lives--her parents decide that.
