Can I return a used car I just bought?
I just bought a 2012 Honda Accord se with 35k miles yesterday from a small used car dealership and I had my family mechanic look at it today. I got the news that the rotors are heavily rusted and need to be replaced (all 4), break pads need to be replaced (all 4) and the front drivers side wheel bearing needs to be replaced. When I was at the dealer I was told that the car had no internal issues, and the only flaws were the cosmetic ones (I'm aware and okay with the scratches that are on the vehicle). While driving it home off the lot I took notice of the grinding noises coming from the car, which is why I immediately took the car to my mechanic. To get all of these things fixed is going to cost me a lot. Since the salesman didn't tell me about the issues before hand, am I allowed to bring the car back and return it? I'd rather go elsewhere and buy another car that won't cost me anything for repairs a day after I get it. I live in Connecticut. The price of the car is $13,900 plus after taxes, fees and interest on the loan I got it comes out to almost $20k, and to pay that much for a vehicle that needs work just makes me angry and I feel ripped off. The salesman told me the car was in perfect condition and the Kelly blue book value was over $16,500, but it's actually KBB value is around $14,000. The salesman/owner of the dealership stated we have a 60 warranty if anything happens but he wasn't specific on as to what it covered no matter how many times we asked.

And you still bought the car without any written warranty? Call the dealer and tell him your problem. Start the talk by saying "I have talked to my lawyer…" Just keep repeating the phrase "my lawyer" eveytime. You might get lucky and repair the car for free. Otherwise you are basically on your own.
Always remember the joke: How do you know when a used car salesman is lying? Answer: When he opens his mouth.
You have a warranty yet you don't know what's covered. You paid 16,500 for it yet you didn't research the average cost before you bought it. Incidentally, kbb is the wrong place to get accurate pricing for anything. Edmunds for private sales and NADA for dealer sales.
Now, for the rusty rotors. You can easily see those through the wheels. In any case, it shouldn't cost anymore than 200 bucks parts and labor to replace. Wheel bearing? I'm not understanding why a four year old car needs a wheel bearing. My Accord's sixteen years old and the bearings are fine. Another 150 for the bearing if it must be replaced.
So, take it back. All you can do is ask.
- I just bought a brand new car and I want to get a different car? 3 weeks ago I bought a 2017 Honda hatchback EX and I want to get the touring instead. I haven't made any payments yet just the down payment of $2000. How should I go about getting a diff car? How much would trade in value be? I got the EX for 24000$
- How to tell if my registration was included when I bought my used car from Honda? I bought a 2010 Hyundai Sonata on February 14, 2014. On my contract under Vehicle license fees, it says I paid $208.00. It also says that I paid $20.00 for Registration/Transfer/Titling Fees. It is now May 1st, and I have not received ANYTHING at all from the DMV. What should I do? P.S. I'm in the state of California
- What can I do about my problem with the used car I just bought? So recently I just bought a 2007 Honda Civic Si from a dealer an the same night I get it home I notice both the reverse lights don't work. I live at in New York so the dealer went an had the car inspected but obviously they knew the inspector because how could your car pass inspection if the reverse lights don't come on?! So I mean what can I do about the problem if the dealer isn't whileing to fix it?
- I bought a used car from the dealer 2008 honda civic si, did i pay to much? I paid 16k and opted for 220 a month payments. the car has 35000 miles on it. Its standard, with navigational system, sunroof, power window. I'm asking becaue i have people telling me its worth way less. Nada blue book seems to think so but kelly blue book says 16,700 the high mark.
