Well I got a new (used) car Thursday night at a tent sale and found the dealership didn't give me a working remote car lock as well as my copy of the car note. The sales rep I had (a real snake by the way) told me I had to pay for programming despite the fact it would require me to possibly miss work just to make it to the dealership when he was on. Because of getting jerked around by the dealership I wanted to return the car. Sadly unless the dealership signs off on the return, Arizona is one of the few states that don't allow it, especially with the tent sales. Does anyone know why this is allowed? Hasn't anyone heard of customer service?
Google to see if you can reprogram your car remote yourself. It may or may not be feasible.
As for cool down periods - I guess I'm w/ Army_guy on less regulation. Sure, there should be consumer protection in terms of fraudulent practices. But I'm not sure "inconvenience" should be a justification to nullify an agreement.
If you buy a used car that is outside of the manufactures warranty, most times it is sold "as is" or has a short 30 day / 500 mile warranty that might be 50% / 50% parts / labor on the engine. I'm positive you signed multiple documents laying this out.
Anything electronic on a used car, you really need to push, activate, and test during your drive / inspection of the vehicle. You didn't realize the remote was defunct while you drove it? Didn't even try lock / unlock at any point?
The whole "I'm gonna have to miss work" part of your post, reeks of melodramatics. Most shops at dealerships open at 7/7:30 am and are open to 5:30 or later, 6 days a week.
If this is a buy here / pay here place, wtf else did you expect?
