Q: Is it possible to return a used car and get refunded for intermittent everyday starting the engine problems?

I bought a used car from VW Ventura

And the car is broken from day 1

I'm have intermittent problems when i try to start the engine won't work

I returned the car to the dealer the next day and they refused to take in for the car not showing an engine check sign

The 2nd day i record 3 videos for the problem

Then they take it in

Now they have the car for over a week and they did not figure out what was going on

So i asked them if it's possible to return the car and get refunded

They refused

You can't change your mind!!

While i saw a sign that California law requires a seller two day to cancelation if there's a problem with the used car - they told me that a paper i had to sign to request that but they didn't offered me anything like that!

Now i only used the car for 2 days because they refused to take it from day one

And second day was Sunday and the service was closed

Is it possible by law to return the car for such condition?

A: more info needed.

it sure sounds like they are in the wrong on many levels but it is also not the type of case i handle.

you need to contact a lawyer...maybe a lemon law lawyer........... but i suspect most lawyers will only get involved on an hourly basis.

if the cost was $10,000 or under, consider suing in small claims court.
