Hi, yesterday I bought a car from a dealer and today something major went wrong with it. I purchased a two year extended warranty and paid cash ($15,000) for the car. Can I return the car and get a full refund?

Hi there,
This will depend on the nature of the problem, the more serious the fault the more you can choose from a list of remedies . But you must give the dealer first right of repair. If they decide with you that the vehicle is un-economical to repair, they may grant a refund or provide another vehicle.
