I live in Missouri and recently spent a lot of money on a used car. I discovered some problems with it almost right away and need to return it to the dealership. Can I return a car in Missouri?
The state’s lemon law stipulates that all car buyers must take action within one year from the date of purchase to return a car. Failure to do so could give the dealership the legal right to refuse the return.
The best advice is to use due diligence to avoid buying a lemon altogether. Here are some tips to help you out:
Ask to see the vehicle’s reliability record
Bring someone with you for a fresh set of eyes
Inspect both the interior and exterior
Have a look under the hood
Always ask for a test drive
Read as many owner reviews and consumer reports as possible to find a consensus
