Nearly all the state only cover the first buyer. A select few will cover a used car, but it must be less than 20K miles and 18 months from the service date, typically.

 

Isn't that what they just did?


More than likely it's an auction car. Dealer took it in on trade in, too many issues. They ran it through the auction and some small used car lot dealer bought it, shined it up and sold it. Now the probs are showing up.

If it's a week old and this many issues...return it

 

Like the other dude said, I think 3 days is the limit on just simply returning it. You might be able to threaten them by saying youll call the BBB, local paper, etc..

 

I would say return it if you can. If they don't want to take it back, then you can look into lemon law, post what state you got the car in, etc, and we'll try and help you out.
If you still can't return it, then you always have this forum to research problems and get tons of advise and DIY information.

 

Like I said earlier, the problems he's describing sound just like an air/idle and throttle position learn procedure that wasn't done by this dealer. If it's a non-nissan shop, they wouldn't really know how to do this. The issues he's having are both common and easy fixes. I highly doubt it's a major problem.

 

IMHO, if I were in your exact shoes. I wouldn't want to deal with a car that's got issues that I JUST purchased. Dump the thing and start over! Sounds like too much hassle

 

I agree. Its better to get to know a car while its running perfectly fine so when a problem does come up, you know if you fixed it right. Otherwise, never knowing how the car is supposed to run... how could you ever be sure?

 

Depending on how nice your dealer is, they may be able to take back your car and you get either a full refund or a pro-rated amount.

Here's a story worth sharing: Earlier this month, I sold a customer a 2000 BMW 540i sedan w/ 100K miles (BTW I work at a Lexus dealer). About a week later her husband was telling me that the car has oil leaks in the engine and transmission (plus a broken cupholder and other minor issues with the interior). I told him that as part of the paperwork signed at the time of delivery, the vehicle was sold in "as-is" condition and you are responsible for all repairs at your expense. He understood all that, and a few days later he came in with the BMW and wanted to leave the car with us, not wanting to keep it at all. Understanding the customer's concern and disappointment overall on buying a troubled luxury vehicle, my finance director and I decided to OK the vehicle return and issue the customer a full refund. He was speechless and very happy since he didn't expect to get that treatment. Returning a vehicle purchase is not the same as returning a pair of shoes at a shoe store.

From my perspective it sucked since I lost the deal...

 

^May have sucked for you, but undoubtedly built HUGE respect in the eyes of that customer. If I were in his shoes, I would do everything I could to buy from you guys in the future.
