: Used dealership won't accept car refund?

So my parents signed an invoice receipt for a used 2014 RAV4 with 13k mileage for about $25k and brought it home last night.

And they decided to return it today since that price was a rip off and I showed them on the toyota website they could get a brand new RAV4 with extra add ons for about the same price.

So the used dealership won't accept the refund and threatened to sue because my parents had signed the "contract" but they haven't actually pay any deposits or cheques for the car yet. So is it illegal what they are doing?

depending on what is stated on the contract, but 99.9% of the time, ur obligated to purchase the vehicle the moment u've signed the contract.

You can not return a car you have purchased. Make an informed decision, cause once you sign a bill of sale and plate the car, the only "refund" is trading it back in.

Nope, what the dealership is doing is not illegal.

lol, nah a used car dealership is not going to take it back just because your parents feel AFTER they bought it that they were price gouged. if the engine blew up on you, thats another story

Invoice receipt though. Not a legit contract yet. Plus, no money had been exchanged yet.

pretty sure once you signed an agreed price it's done. plus your parents have brought it home so the car must have been plated already and you guys have the title to the car. good luck getting out of this one without financial consequences.

If you didn't sign the transfer papers, you should be good to cancel the purchase.

Caveat emptor.

Never sign anything until you're 110% sure of what you want, as well as the consequences of it. Sorry to say it but your parents are SOL. Unless the dealer is some kind of Good Samaritan (news flash: used car dealers are usually the opposite) your parents are stuck with the car as they signed for it, registered/titled and plated it. Should have done some more research first...

once I bought a mouse at futureshop, i didn't like it and they let me return it within 7 days, probably works the same way with your car

Each dealership will have their own policies. Their isn't a blanket return policy for all dealers. Some offer a money back guarantee, some offer a return timeline and some won't do anything. Once you sign, you're in!

What are the actual numbers? Years of the cars? Did your parents include the Freight/PDI of a new car? What dealer they buy from (i.e. was it a Toyota)?

Do you have the vehicle in your possession yet? There are ways out of the contract, I've seen it twice now at the dealership I work at. The manager and salesman will do everything they can to get you to keep the car but just keep fighting back.

LOLWUT?

You do realize the difference between buying a mouse and a car is literally enormous right?

On top of that, futureshop has a return policy which allows for you to do that. I'm pretty sure this car dealership has nothing like that. New dealers do sometimes advertise that if you don't like your purchase you can bring it back, but I doubt any used car dealer would do that. Used car dealers are usually pretty greasy, and aren't about to let you out of a contract just out of their goodwill.

I walked into that.

It's hard to know for sure when others are posting shit like this: I thought you could return a car to the dealership whithin 30 days?

Unless that was also sarcasm. If so I think I need to go see the doctor.

Old people duh.

Anyways, they told me this morning they went to a Toyota dealership where they are planning to buy a brand new rav4 and apparently the sales manager said he will take the used rav4 and deal directly with the used dealership...how does that work?

What toyota dealer is this?

Perhaps the used dealer and the dealership you are getting your car from have ties?

The situation that immediately sticks out in my mind, is buying from CarsUnlimited in North Van, and then visiting JP Toyota, both places are owned and operated by JP...

GM CPO, you can return it with refund within 30 days. Back in 2003 I bought a used Ford form a GM lot and it too was a GM CPO vehicle :fuckthatshit:

I can't speak for other manufacturers but if the car was bought from a used only lot, then I doubt it.

even if someone doesn't understand the return policy of buying a used car, how do you not check the price of a brand new car when you're about to sign away 25k for last year's model :fulloffuck: age can't be that big a factor here

OK, first off, you weren't even there. You heard it from your parents. Who knows what the actual conversation was. Dealerships can word it in so many ways to make your parents "think" that they're doing a favor your parents or making a good deal.

Secondly, isn't that just a trade in? The new dealership is buying your parents' used RAV4.

The dealership won't even talk to the used dealership. Why would they?
Used dealership made some cash, now your parents is letting new dealership making some cash.

Seriously, they need to stop right here and take it as an expensive lesson before it's gonna cost more money.

Unless the transfer of ownership is not done(used dealership to your parents) then it might be a different story but I guess it's already transferred.

2015RAV 4: $24,065
PDI/Freight: $1,690
Air Conditioning Charge: $100

TOTAL: $25,855
TOTAL AFTER 12% TAX: $28,957

Also, remember some dealerships charge "documentation fee" which is a bullshit.
They usually say something like "in order for this vehicle to be registered in BC, we need to document it, and there's gonna be some fee"
It doesn't cost them anything to "document" it, it's just a way for dealerships to make extra markups.
Motorcycle dealerships charge $400 to $800 for "documentation fee" and some super luxury cars' "documentation fee" can be $4,000 to $10,000

Some used dealerships offer a 3 day or 100km (Which ever comes first) return.
When I bought my rsx at happy Honda. They had 7 day or 300km return

INB4 You got taken for $25k at used car dealer, and now the "new" dealer is going to let you trade-in the 2014 RAV4 for $20k and offer a brand new 2015 RAV4 for $30k+ :lawl: idiot.

So they fixed the problem. They talked to the GM of the used dealership and he allowed the car to be refunded. And now getting the new RAV4 from the Toyota dealership.

Thanks for the help guys. You guys are awesome and god bls.

Are you the OP? Why did you start another account?

Either way the dealer isn't doing anything illegal, your parents are the ones breaking a contract, it doesn't matter whether they have paid or not yet, the point of the contract was that they will eventually pay. So of course if you now say that we don't want to pay they will sue you.
