I am a Yars

[BMGYARS]

hey, well i really wanted a S model with pp and abs, but wouldn you know the second test drive i did the car had problems shaking my confidence. I bought a Yaris 3dr hatch with pp airbags mats and foglights....it has 280 miles on it now....but its too small....so i am really regretting my decision and wishing i had gotten a versa...there is no way that a dealership would give me a pretty equivalent trade for a versa would they? i know they wont, but im so frustrated and regretting my decision so much i have to ask! so tell me no, there is no way im going to geta versa now without losing thousands of dollars and maybe i can get some sleep!...ugh, you lucky versa owners you

Have a look and see if SC has a law regarding returns (can't recall the name of the law)...

Some states give you like 72 hours to return a car if you change your mind.

Otherwise, maybe stop by the Nissan dealer you dealt with originally and see what they say. Might not be as bad as you think.

Let us know if we can help!

Exactly, a friend of mine bought a 350Z a year ago, and after about 2 weeks discovered that his base model didn't have an LSD, and he wanted to upgrade (he was very mad about his purchase).

The dealer swapped it out and basically gave him retail value back for the car. Of course, that was a Nissan for a Nissan, but you never know.

oh man, you guys are getting my hopes up...i hope i dont get too crushed when i call tommorow

Also, it never hurts to check with the dealership you bought the Yota from. Some dealerships have up to a 30 day return policy (less money for mileage).

There's no state that has a right of recission law that would allow you to bring a vehicle back because of buyer's remorse. There's no law at the federal level either. There are lemon laws which are different from state to state. Sellers must sell you a vehicle and disclose everything or it could be classified as a lemon.

There's a good chance you're going to miss out on some money. It may not be that much though. The dealer knows that the vehicle will now have to be classified as a used vehicle since it's been titled in your name and he will have to sell it used. If the dealer took it back as an even trade, then they would miss out on money. Try and work out a deal to pay a little as possible, but it looks like you'll have to pay some.

The "buyer's remorse" law varies from state to state. In some states, you do indeed have 72 hours (3 days) in which you may return the car without penalty. Most states DO NOT have a 3 day "Buyers Remorse" law for car buying.

The Utah Div. of Consumer Protection, on its website, stipulates there is no three-day rescission law that applies to motor-vehicle purchases. Few states have such a provision.

California adopted one last year in a compromise that offered certain rights to consumers but didn't make dealers feel they were being duped into providing free three-day rentals.

Usually, it's up to the dealership, in states where there is no "obligation" to allow a return. Saturn offers a 30-day return policy, but most Saturn owners don't realize their car sucks until the 5th week of ownership.

For obvious reasons, however, the dealership doesn't want you to return the car so they may say anything to get you to keep it. Their most common ploy is to make up excuses and stall until the three days expires. Often they'll do this by telling you that the person who handles those problems is "out of the office" or otherwise unavailable. Sometimes they'll just out-and-out lie and tell you that you simply can't return the car (as happened to you).

Your best bet to resolve the problem and/or to find out if your state has a "buyer's remorse" law is to contact the "Consumer Affairs Division" (or similar dept.) of your state's Attorney General's Office. They are there to help you.

Hubby suggested that since Yaris' (Yari?) are difficult to find, that if there is a Toyota forum or maybe at Edmunds, you could hook up with a buyer for yours, then go get the utimately superior Versa

[sjscura]

thats a good idea. The day i bought my versa, I started out at a yota dealership, really looking for a 3dr yaris. they had one grey one, sat in it for about 3 seconds and it automatically reminded me of the 01 ford escort my mother used to drive! after that, i said hheeeelllllllll so...and went to the nissan dealership right next door.

[BenDupre]

I think Yaris is both singular and plural, like fish.

Adding i is a Latin pluralization. It's olny good for Latin words ending in us.

[OKVersa]

What about Prius? Is that like Fungus and Fungi?

[BenDupre]

If Prius is Latin (not sure) then you can say Prii.

I'd use Priuses.

I prefer the technical term:

$h!tbox.

[Ever Victorious]

I prefer the technical term:

$h!tbox.

Salesman: You want cargo space? This Prius has a 14 cubic foot trunk!

(EV opens rear hatch. EV looks down at trunk. EV looks at his folded hand truck sitting next to Prius. EV looks at Prius again.)

EV: Uhm... where, exactly?

The new bill in California that passed recently, only applies to used cars purchased from a dealer and were originally priced under $40,000. You only have 2 days to take advantage of it and the vehicle has to have less than $250 miles put on it. The purpose of the law was to allow buyers the opportunity to have the vehicle evaluated by a mechanic of their choice. If the buyer no longer wants to vehicle, they have the right to return the vehicle, but are subject to restocking fees and financing penalties. The law does not apply to new vehicles. Although people use this new law as a buyer remorse law, that wasn't it's original intent.

The 3 day (72 hour) right to recession in most states were originally created to protect purchasers of door to door products and sales of that nature. Many states saw the sales as high pressure impulse buys and wanted to protect their citizens. Rights to recession does exist in home loan refinancing. It allows users to cancel their refi after signing but within certain time periods, which I'm not sure of. A lot of people like to transfer these situations over to cars since they are such big purchases, high pressure purchases. But the truth is that it's a myth. In this particular situation, only the dealer can decide if they would like to take vehicle back without any penalties paid.

There's nothing on the books that would allow anyone to bring a new car back because they regret the purchase. Now this isn't to say that you can't find loopholes in laws to get what you want. If someone can prove me wrong, that would be great. I would love to know if there's a state that has this policy. I'm more than happy to admit that I'm incorrect.
