I purchased a RX8 on satuday 10/8/05 and I am not happy with the vehicle. It average 14mpg on the first tank among other things. I tried to return it to the dealer and they refused to take it. I was wondering if there is any kind of buyers remorse laws in NJ governing the return of sales within a certain time period of purchase?

Thanks,

Adam

 

Adam,

Was this an impulse buy? Have you done much research on this vehicle?

I just ask because mpg is a topic that has been covered MANY times (edmunds, motor trend, car & driver, etc)

What are you not happy with?

As for the 'buyers remorse' laws, wish I could help you out but in California, it clearly states that there is "NO cooling off period". Meaning if you sign on the dotted line, it's all yours...

 

Palabra.

 

Word?

Thinking of having lunch soon. Anyone else hungry?

at least he didnt say he wanted to return it cause it wasnt fast enough, or didnt have enough tq....

sure you cant find out about MPG, but any reading of reviews of the cars would cover the MPG issue

 

well....if you got 14mpg on it you were probably driving the hell out of it and it's your own fault.

use 6th gear, it's your friend

 

He's only owned it 4 days?

 

Adam,

The mpg will increase a little when the car gets some miles on it (I am assuming you bought it new). If it is new you need to read the manual to see how to drive the car for the break in period. My car took about 1500 miles before I saw an improvement in mpg. I also have to ask were you redlining the car alot? Or driving with the rpm's way up there? If so these will have a very negative effect on your milage.

 

Hehe, I knew that is what it meant, just didn't understand the significance. I went back and re-read it and I guess he just meant "word" like the slang. I was quite tired when I posted that haha.

 

watskeburt?

 

So you did what, no research before buying a 25k+ car?

Who's fault is that...

 

holy crap. a pack of gum is an impulse buy for me ...

 

You've got to be kidding!!!

 

If this isn't a troll post... What, exactly, aren't you happy with? The interior quality? The appearance? And did you really expect a $30,000 SPORTS car to be frugal on fuel? (and how did you just suddenly spend that much cash on a car you apparently know nothing about?)

 

At least this is a better post than that guy who bought a g35 as an impulse, and it ended up messing up his spine because he was overweight and couldnt fit in the seats and the dealership wouldnt take it back and he ended up losing his job or something and runing his credit because he couldnt make his payments, and his wife was really mad at him, and he couldnt afford surgery to get his back fixed . Anyone have a link to that?

 

Didn't the bold print of "18mpg City" on the window sticker provide a clue as to the mpg of this vehicle? Was he somehow expecting 36mpg despite the EPA number? Did the salesman NOT suggest a test drive? As to "buyer's remorse", it's NEW JERSEY for god's sake!

 

Here it is!

Read, and be glad this isnt you!

^^ wow.. what a story..

whats wrong with this guy, he reminds me of a little child being seduced by a stranger into taking candy!!

 

Let me guess...you want to return it so you can get either of these cars: G35 Coupe, 350Z, WRX STi, or an EVO? While I don't know the car you would replace it with, unless you buy another car that gets unbelieveable mileage, any of the cars I listed still average under 20mpg...so you would feel THAT much of a difference in your wallet on gas money.

if it's THAT bad, sell the friggin thing privately.

 

I've owned a WRX STI, RX-7 turbo, and many others sports cars. My most recent car was a VW Jetta 1.8t with many upgrades, it ran high 13s in the quarter mile and would get 32+ mpg even though the EPA estimates were less than that. every car I've owned I managed to get the high or higher of the EPA MPG estimates. I was expecting the same with the RX8, I haven't gone over 4,000 rpms since I bought it and it now has about 500 miles on it. I understand the process of breaking a car in and have done it a couple times before.
On the test drive I drove the car for about 20 minutes and was happy with it, but after taking much longer drives I find my legs falling asleep. I've tried a couple different positions seating positions and it still happens. I guess this car just isn't meant for me; I'll probably sell it privately and take the loss.

Thanks for your input,
Adam
