Legal Question in Product Liability in Florida
Can I return a Used Car in Warranty in Florida?
I purchased a 01 BMW 325ci convertible under a 60 day /3000mi. Warranty, that it's still in. I put $4000 down & a loan for $16k. The car has been back to the lot for repair on the temp. thermostat twice, and now it's back due to smoking related to h20 sensors. This is within a month. Can I return this car and get out of the deal?

Depends on the wording of your warranty.

Probably not, but it would depend on the terms of your writtem warranty. Read it. It would stun me if it allowed you to return the car and walk away from the deal, but the words of the contract would control.

Unfortunately this sounds like very common issues for BMWs.

No. You can not return the car unless the dealer will voluntarily accept it. The warranty is for repairs and you may have to contribute to the cost of them. I would bet almost anything it will not mention anything about returning the car. You need to get all of your repairs done within the warranty period or else you will be responsible to pay for all repairs yourself.
