When you purchase a new H-D and you ride it out and realize it has the infamous clatter can you then proceed to take it back and get a refund that same day?

 

Depends on the state. My state has a three day right of rescission on most items.

You might have justification to get it fixed per the warranty but that's about it.

Return varies per state like commander112 said. Example: CA has no cooling off period and they make a point to tell you that before you sign the papers. Once you sign the contract its yours, warts and all.

 

Mine clatters and I figure if it brakes the warraty will cover it!

 

I do not know if your state has a lemon law . CT does and if you bring the bike in three times for the same problem you can file for the lemon law. Thjat is why every time you bring your bike in make sure you get paper work to document it. some dealers will say your all set and not give you paper work. reason being they know how the lemon law works not all states have it check yours

 

How much money you got? How good is your attorney?

Obviously you have come to the wrong place for legal advice. Start with the yellow pages or your state bar assoc. referral service.

 

This is the Law for the State of Arizona.

Three-Day right to cancel purchases

Many consumers mistakenly believe that they have three days to back out of any purchase they make. However, there are very few instances in which this right applies.
They are:

After certain home solicitation sales under the Arizona Home Solicitations Act, (A.R.S. § 44-5001, et seq). buyers have three-day right to cancel only if:

the seller personally solicits the sale; and
the buyer agrees to purchase the goods or services at a home other than the seller's home; and
either all or part of the price is payable in installments or, if you pay cash for the goods or services the seller provides a loan for you or helps you get a loan to pay the purchase price.
If all of the above are true, the seller is required to give you a Notice of Cancellation at the time of purchase which tells you that you may cancel your agreement to purchase the goods or services prior to midnight of the third business day after the date of the sales transaction. You must mail or deliver a signed and dated copy of your Notice or any other notice, or send a telegram, by the cancellation date the seller has written on your Notice.

The Federal Trade Commission's Cooling-Off Rule also gives you, the buyer, a three-day right to cancel if:

the sale is in the buyer's home, workplace or dormitory, or in a facility rented for a short time by the seller (hotels, motels, convention centers, fairgrounds, restaurants); and
the purchase price is $25.00 or more. Exceptions: You do not have a three-day right to cancel a purchase even though the sale occurs in your home, workplace, dormitory or rented facility if:
you already have an account with the seller, and the seller's primary business is to sell goods or services at a fixed location; or, you and the seller negotiated the purchase at a fixed location where the seller offers or exhibits goods or services.
the goods or services you purchase are not primarily for personal, family, or household purposes; or the goods or services you purchase are needed to meet an emergency; or the purchase involves your request for repairs or maintinance; or the purchase is real estate, insurance, or securities; or the purchase is a motor vehicle sold at a temporary location if the seller has a permanent place of business; or the purchase is arts or crafts sold at fairs, or other locations.
Other transactions which give you a three-day right to cancel under Arizona law:

services to be rendered in the future, such as credit services; and
discount buying club services.

P.S. Arizona does have a lemon law also.

 

I did a quick search at www.az.gov and found this:

12. True or false: You have a three-day right to cancel any purchase.

Answer: False. You only have a three-day right to cancel in very specific and limited situations. For example, there is no right to cancel a vehicle purchase. Also, the way you must cancel a particular purchase varies. You must usually send the cancellation notice by certified mail and have it postmarked or delivered by the deadline. How the amount of time you have to cancel is calculated also varies. The deadline may be three calendar days or 72 hours and may begin when you sign, rather than when you take delivery of the item. Listed below are some laws that provide a limited right to cancel:

When your home is pledged as security for a home equity loan, second mortgage or line of credit (three days - Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C.A. § 1635)
Door-to-door sales if you pay over time (midnight of third business day after signing - A.R.S. § 44-5002). See question No.11, above.
Certain sales made in your home (midnight of third business day after sale - FTC Cooling-Off Rule, 16 CFR Part 429)
Telephone solicitation sales (three business days from delivery - A.R.S. § 44-1276(C) and (D))
Credit repair contracts (midnight of third day [doesn’t say “business” day] after signing - A.R.S. § 44-1706(A)(1))
Health clubs and spas (midnight of the third “operating” day - A.R.S. § 44-1793(D))
Dance lessons (fifteen days - A.R.S. § 44-1744)
Discount buying clubs (three business days - A.R.S. § 44-1797.11)
Dating clubs (three business days - A.R.S. § 44-7153)
Real estate timeshares (midnight of seventh calendar day after signing - A.R.S. § 32-2197.03(A))

Hopefully this will help you.
