Certainly makes it hard to shop around between multiple cars. What do they expect you to do, buy each car, in turn. Return all of them within 7 days. Then re-purchase the one you preferred?

No, they expect you to buy all of them in parallel and return all but the one you want. I mean, it’s the model lots of people have been using with clothing since online discount retailers with generous return policy started undercutting brick-and-mortar.
- alkibiades 8y agobuying 3 cars is a little different than t shirts
- dragonwriter 8y agoThe implication that the extension of the expectation from online clothing retail to online automobile retail was unreasonable was intended, yes.
- ypzhang2 8y agoThere's a big difference in cost and complexity between buying a car online and buying clothing online though, especially if financing is involved (not many people are going to have the cash on hand to float on 2-3 vehicles at any one time).
- jjulius 8y agoI can have 7 shirts shipped to my house and they take up a very small footprint. If I'm trying to decide between 7 cars, I'm going to have a hard time finding a place to put all of them, as will most people. That's on top of having to deal with financing multiple cars just to test drive them all.
- eeeeeeeeeeeee 8y agoAnd as others have pointed out, removing financing from your credit report is not so easy even if you return the car. And I doubt most people would be able to get loans approved for multiple cars at the same time.
