The top 20 reasons people want to get out from under a new car

Anyone thinking about purchasing a new car or giving their new car up? You may find this intersting...

With GM's decision today to offer a 60-day, money-back guarantee on new cars, we figured it would be fitting to ask what kind of reasons a person returns a car within 60 days? There are all kinds of reasons why a person would go through buyers remorse and we see it all the time here in our car lease trading marketplace. Keep in mind that LeaseTrader.com helps a person escape a car lease they no longer want, so we'd like to share the 20 most common reasons why a person would fall out of love with a vehicle - even as quickly as within 60 days.

Is it realistic to think that many people are dissatisfied with a car only 60 days in? That's one heck of a short honeymoon period. Financial reasons and dissatisfaction may be two of the larger reasons why a person would want out before the honeymoon is over, but here is a list of many other reasons why people would do an about face on their car-buying decision based on actual reasons why people come to LeaseTrader.com to escape a lease:


1) divorce/breakup
