Personally, if I wasn't sure about the deal, I'd pass. There will always be another car.

Go back in the morning, drop the keys off, and have your bud drive you away.
7/32"
I stay far, far away from the small shyster dealers. I only buy from brand dealers that have a long history and something to loose if things go bad.

If you signed a contract...you might be stuck. You drove off the lot in it..it's yours. Since it's a Shady Dealer you're fight is even tougher. A larger dealership with more pride in it's reputation would most likely satisfy you. How did you pay? Did you finance? Even tougher. Personal check? You can do a stop payment...maybe. Regardless it won't be easy.

i had 7 days to have the car inspected to my satisfaction. i took it to a local honda dealer (known for being a good one, Scott Honda of West Chester PA) to have them look at it. Well here's what they said:
1) the car had barely any oil, nothin on the dipstick and it was very dirty
2) the air filter needed to be replaced
3) the tires weren't new as promised by dealer
heres the killer part, the dealer told me after i called him with what honda told me "the oil was changed recently" I dont think so, no oil leak and oil doesnt burn out in 6 days. he also said the tires were brand new, the dealer said they weren't (there was like 7/32 on them). The dealer also said it was being sold for a friend, but on the car fax report it said it was bought from an auction in upstate NY. now they're trying to tell me they may not cover the oil and air filter change. i didnt tell them about the tires becuase i just found out tonite myself and they were closed. i wonder why they're lying about all of this...any ideas/advice?

so you guys think this car is a crapper? theres no chance im just bein crazy? i need to decide by tomrrow. im gonna call the dealer and see if there is anything else he didnt tell me about the car and then go from there. if i keep it, im gonna demand new tires as promised, and reimburcement for the oil and air filter change.
