In MN, I think you have 15 days to return any purchase. My brother in law was dating a girl who bought a Mazda, drove it for several days and several hundred miles, and returned it. The dealer had no choice but to take it back. I'm sure he had trouble explaining to the next buyer why that "new" car had that many miles on it. Although I think those kind of shenanigans would look pretty bad on your credit, if done frequently, opening and closing loans like that.

I've read it was 72 hours for a used car, but I couldn't find anything online about the return on a new one. Not that the car was a bad one or anything, but it's the size of a boat and I'm spoiled by a cheap monthly payment and about 25% better mileage (plus my car's much cuter). I suppose I like cars that you wear, not drive, at least that's what my family always teases me by saying. Anything bigger than a VW New Beetle or Honda Civic to me is a land yacht, and I feel disconnected from the road. I'd like a New Beetle, but even the used ones are expensive, and they don't get especially good mileage, except for the diesel, but diesel fuel costs more and it's much cheaper to maintain a gasoline engine. I like hybrids, but they cost almost twice the price of a comparable ex clusively gasoline powered vehicle. When I bought my car it was the cheapest car sold that year on a cost-per-mile basis, factoring in the price tag. Only thing that concerns me is if I get in a major accident. There's just not that much THERE, but I did have a front-end collision at the beginning of the year and it fared well, considering the car's mass (I hit an old Buick in the rear, doing nothing but bending the guy's license plate and putting a dimple in his plastic bumper...me...the hood and bumper were done). My brother is an engineer working on the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle for GM and it sounds exciting, but all I can think is The Hindenberg on four wheels. He assures me it's not like that, but, it's HYDROGEN. It would make rear-ending a '74 Pinto look like a firecracker. I'm skeptical. If you listen to conspiracy radio (Coast to Coast am), every once in a while they touch on the subject of high efficiency gasoline engine technology that has existed for many years kept from the marketplace by big oil. I don't know if I buy into all of that cloak and dagger subversion, but why not? If most cars got the mileage my car does, oil consumption would drop over time as more new cars were purchased, and oil profits would fall, as well as a decrease in tax revenues from gasoline, so maybe there is something to all of that. It's all rigged, - --Mark S., not meaning to ramble on as long as I did np: Britta Phillips & Dean Wareham L'AVVENTURA ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V4 #309 *******************************
