Dealer didnt tell me car was FWD?

Question

I recently financed a car and the dealer did not tell me the car was FWD nor is it stated anywhere on the vehicle or sale documents.

What can I do?

Answer 1

What can you do? You can mix some Knorr's Spanish Rice with a can of chicken. Heat it in the microwave for 12 minutes. Let it cool off for another 12 minutes, then eat it. That's what you can do.

Answer 2

Many. many cars these days are FWD. A lot are AWD. I suppose dealer thought you'd had one made much after 1980, before, and didn't have clue you might ask.

Answer 3

Before we ridicule this question, I would reckon about 25% of car owners don't have a clue if their car is FWD or RWD and if they did, they wouldn't know what it meant.

Answer 4

If you look at the specs, there should be written down whether the car is FWD,RWD,AWD, 4WD. Next time do research and buy something you understand, like the WevibeSync vibrator. Works via remote or app.

Answer 5

I can tell you what you shouldn't do - don't have children. Please do not EVER breed and add more retarded people to the gene pool.

Answer 6

How dumb you are to assume the dealer could read your thoughts and know your assumptions.

Answer 7

not a god damn thing

Answer 8

You had every opportunity to ask. You had every right to check documentation, test drive, inspect, etc. 



There's no magic "out" here. Unless the dealer allows some sort of return policy (probably not), then no law will allow you to just return the vehicle based upon an oversight. 

Answer 9

What can you do? Well you can stop being a baby and accept responsibility. Next time do more research on a vehicle before purchasing it. The dealer isn't obligated to tell you whether a car has FWD, RWD, AWD, or 4WD, that is on you.

Answer 10

Caveat emptor! (Let the buyer beware)

If they told you it wasn't and it is (and you have it in writing) you might have recourse.

But with the specifications being widely published and the vehicle viewed before purchase there is no legal grounds to feel cheated or mislead.

Answer 11

If you didn't want a front wheel drive car, you should have done more research before purchasing the car.

Did you even bother asking if the car had RWD or AWD?



If the contract came with a chilling out period and it's still within that period, return the car.

If you don't have a chilling out period or it's expired, you now own a FWD car. If you don't want it, you are free to sell it to someone else.

Answer 12

You can't do a damn thing

Anyone who does not know thst should not be allowed a license

Answer 13

Pretty much all cars are FWD. This one is on you, as you should have known what you were buying and what came with it. That's your responsibility. FWD is good, it won't hurt you.

Answer 14

That's on you, pal. The information is available, you didn't do your research. You should be able to look under the hood and know if it's FWD or RWD.

Answer 15

You failed to ask or do your homework. So you are stuck with what you bought. In any case FWD is intrinsically safer than RWD.

Answer 16

You didn’t look at it before you bought it? Or do a bit of research? Call the dealer and ask if he’ll take it back. If not, enjoy your FWD vehicle.

Answer 17

What you should do is do your homework next time you purchase something, even more so when  borrowing money to buy stuff.
