Used Vehicle Return Options

Summary

In Pennsylvania, there is no specific cooling-off period for vehicle purchases. However, if a dealer misrepresented a vehicle or failed to disclose important information, you may have options. Review the sales contract for return policies and document all communication attempts with the dealer. If the dealer remains unresponsive, consider consulting a local attorney specializing in consumer protection or reaching out to a local consumer protection agency for guidance.

We purchased a used vehicle in Pennsylvania last Friday, put it on credit cards and now can’t get regular loan. The dealer said that it was a buy back and he hasn’t received title too. Please tell me there’s a way that we can return it even if there’s a monetary penalty
