Can you return a used car if you haven't been financed?

Answer 1

There is no easy answer for that question. There are a few factors that matter when you are trying to return a bought vehicle. Did the dealership give you the car on the basis that you were approved but then got denied within a few days of buying the vehicle? If that's the case, you should be able to return it. Each state has its own laws on this matter so depending where you live will depend on all your options. The term "haven't been financed" does that mean you bought it in cash? Is the dealer a "buy here pay here" place? I would need more info to better answer your question. As a rule of thumb, you can return the vehicle, if the dealer "thought" you would be approved but you weren't, that's not your fault. Unless you gave fraudulent info, that could be another story. If you want to return a vehicle because you found a better deal somewhere else, good luck, most dealers won't be interested in helping you return a vehicle under that scenerio. You still may have options, but that would depend on where you live, and the laws in that state.
