Okay, so I'm having a bit of trouble here. I recently (last week) bought a car at a Honda dealership and added some options onto the car itself, along with some extended warranty stuff. After talking it over with my family, we've come to the conclusion that some of the things we got aren't really all that necessary.
When we went back to the dealership, they said they can let us cancel the warranty and stuff, but won't let us remove anything that we said we want added to the car (hardware stuff). Their reason was that they had already ordered the parts, so they won't let us cancel anything. Is that something that they can do? I mean, I guess it kind of makes sense, but it's not like it's been put on the car yet - they haven't called to make the appointment to get the options added on either.
The other issue we're having is that we weren't given a full price breakdown of all the options we got. My personal opinion is that it's our fault for not asking and we should deal with it, but the rest of my family is stubborn and says we should still argue to get it taken off because we weren't told in the first place.
I guess my questions here are:
-Is it possible to cancel add-on options for a car after they've ordered the parts? They have not actually done the service yet, but they are saying that we cannot remove it from the contract because they've already put the order in.
-And in a more moral sense, should I just be taking the fact that we weren't explicitly told the full price lying down, or should I be fighting to get the contended items removed because of that? True, if I was told the price beforehand I probably wouldn't have bought those options, but I feel that that was entirely my responsibility to double-check all of that before I signed the papers.
In case anyone is wondering, the actual items we want removed are interior/exterior protection crap and an alarm that goes with it. These were added on by the person handling our finance, not the car salesperson. And yea, I know I should have done a whole bunch of stuff before I signed the papers, but what's done is done, and I'm just trying to see what I can do to mitigate my costs here.
