Can you return a car in Massachusetts?
I just bought a pick-up truck last week from a dealership in Plymouth, but it’s starting to make some suspicious noises. Would I be able to return a car to a dealership in Massachusetts?

In general, after you sign the paperwork to buy a new or used vehicle in Massachusetts, you can’t return it. However, there are a couple of exceptions:
- If you purchased a new car and it has at least one defect that impairs its safety, value, or use, it falls underMassachusetts’ lemon law.
- If you bought aused carand the seller didn’t tell you about a known problem, you have 30 days to cancel the sale and get a refund.
When looking to buy a used car, it’s crucial to examine it before signing the paperwork. Here’s a brief checklist:
- Check over theCARFAX report
