You know, where I grew up, when you bought something it was final. Period. OK, it's nice to be able to return stuff if it break, but just because you changed your mind? Almost seems dishonest to me, even when we're talking tools/appliances/clothes. But CARS? You buy a car without doing your research, you deserve what you get. The dealership's not going to eat the cost of indecisive customers.

Call your bank to stop payment on the check, and then just drop the car back off at the dealer with a full tank of Premium gas. No harm, no foul.

Oh? So, once you sign a legal contract, say...you can go "y'know, I really don't want to do this after all, if you don't mind I'll just back out..."?
No, when people make up their minds to do something, they should do it. You shouldn't change your mind once other people are involved. Obviously this applies less in some cases than others, but I think that you should never buy something you don't intend to keep.

You can do it with real estate deals...people DO change their minds and they have every right to...maybe he did intend to keep it but a day later he lost his job and now cannot afford it...seems logical that he be allowed to return it...

The dealer does not have to accept the car back. When you drive it off the lot it is between you and the bank. Cancel the check and your in deep sh!t. They do not just take the car back and resell it.
I only had this happen once and we parked the car in the back and waited for the bank to come pick it up. That guy now has a nice "repo" on his record. The only reason a dealer would take a car back is to keep good relations with the bank.

And what if cash was used to pay for the car...every dealership is different but I am willing to bet vital parts of my anatomy to the fact that some places have a time frame in which someone can return a car...be it 24 hours or whatever...
