That is correct, my paperwork says "AS-IS', but when i went to talk to them about it, they said "Yeah we gave you 30 days warranty and we are more than willing to do the repairs", when i know, repairing the vehicle will not cut it, because all trannys have the same problems, and there is no recall from manufacturer

Here's YOUR problem - you didn't RESEARCH the vehicle BEFORE you bought it.

Understandable: I just have to suck it up and live with it :)

Or...get the transmission repaired by the dealer utilizing their warranty. I would suggest you try to get them to write something like "repairs at no charge per 30 day warranty." That way you will have memorialized the warranty.
 
So, in a nutshell, you made a post with a clear cut statement that there is some "3 day rule" and, when called on it, you acknowledge that it is nothing but a general policy that some dealers might have, as opposed to a rule (law.)

Don't intentionally post inaccurate information. It would have been one thing for you to have just made a mistake. But, in this case, you INTENTIONALLY posted false information, and that's not "cool."


Please take the time to read what I actually said:


There are instances with buying a used vehicle through a dealership, where as-is is not the final word. Thus, the reason for the 3-day rule.QUOTE]


You do realize that many dealers offer return policy, don't you? Your skimming through to find the buzz words is a waste of my time, Zigner.

You do realize there is no 3-day rule in this scenario, Amy.:cool:

Oh, wait, that's right ~ you don't:rolleyes:

OP ~ beware of this poster's advice. She is shooting from the hip and she is a bad shot.
 
There is no inherent right to a "3-day recission return policy." Car dealers don't typically have a buyer's-remorse out for people who come to them to purchase a vehicle. You need to educate yourself and see when and where consumers have a 3-day right of recission. It certainly is NOT in this case.

Amy stay on the side lines ~ please:rolleyes:

You can't read either.

Please refer to my reply to Zigner, and after that, I'd appreciate if you could show where I mentioned, or even implied, anything about a "inherent right" to a 3 day recission.

Since there is NO 3 day recission, why even bring it up? You're throwing out nonsense.
 
How could you tell from OP's original post that the was no 3 day recission policy?

Oh, you thought because OP was denied his/her money back meant that there was no 3-day in place? LOL!!

That might be a good indication, if you are under the assumption that all car dealers tell the truth.

You are quite the troll and you sincerely have no clue.:rolleyes: LOL

Just a hint. We don't need to tell from the OP's original post that there was no 3-day recission policy.

Sweetheart, You are the one assuming. You education, or lack thereof is showing. Google is your friend.:rolleyes:

How did you know, from OP's original post, if there was/is no 3 day return policy?
I would start with logic, common sense, and reasoning. A dealer can extend any sort of "cooling off period" they want to but since they are not required by law to do so, very few, if any, actually do.

and, on top of that, since the OP posted this:

Walked out of showroom with the vehicle and was having fun, until 3-4 days later,

Even if there was a 3 day cooling off period, it would be a moot point.

You bolded the wrong portion of your misleading and inaccurate response. The PROBLEM (that you STILL refuse to acknowledge) that I had with your statement is the fact that you stated that there is a RULE. It is not a rule (law). Get it? Probably not :rolleyes:

A ten-second Google search provided this document.

Pay special attention to paragraph 1. Like I said. Google is your friend.

I never claimed that they are required by law. My very first post notes that there are "instances" where as-is is not the final word, which in turn, means there is also the opposite. (instances where as-is means as-is)

If the car broke down on day 4, and there was no 3-day policy from the dealer, then yes, the point is moot.

Where did you learn that rule= law?
