Used Automobile Buying Tips

questions & answers

Question: How long does a person have to return a used car purchased in AZ? I feel I got a bad deal and want to return the car and get my money back and go elsewhere to purchase a vehicle. What are my rights?

Answer:

Please review the article on this site titled, "Buying a Used Car - Dealer Sales." That article states:

Arizona law does not require dealers to give used car buyers a three-day right to cancel. The right to return the car in a few days for a refund exists only if the dealer grants this privilege to buyers. Please refer to your purchase agreement to read the dealer’s return policy. Dealers may describe the right to cancel as a "cooling-off" period, a money-back guarantee, or a "no questions asked" return policy. Read the purchase agreement carefully, and pay attention to any wording that relates to returns.

Private used car sales may be different from used car sales purchased from a dealer. For information about private used car sales, read the article titled, "Buying a Used Car - Private Sales."
