‘Did You Drive Off The Lot?:' Woman Gets Buyer's Remorse After Signing Car Paperwork. Now She Wants to Know If She Can ‘Cancel'

A woman on TikTok is going viral after sharing her regret over a rushed car trade-in that may have left her feeling scammed. In a recent clip, TikTok user @veepeeursfavv asked whether it's possible to back out of a car deal, even after signing the paperwork. 'Helpppp does anyone know if we can cancel a deal if everything has been signed?' she wrote in the text overlay of her clip. Commenters flooded in with questions before they could offer advice: What state does she live in? How long ago did she sign? Did she drive off the lot? Those details could determine whether she has any legal wiggle room. Without them, though, it's hard to say whether her buyer's remorse can turn into a return. As of this writing, her video has racked up more than 11,600 views. Why Does She Want to Return the Car? In a second clip , @veepeeursfavv explained that she was looking to trade in her family's old car for a larger SUV to better fit her needs. At the dealership, she said, staff offered to 'pay off' the old vehicle, but tacked on several extra fees, including a $3,000 charge for 'wheel repair.' In the caption, she took accountability for missing the fine print before signing the paperwork. 'Now I look back and it all seemed so rushed,' she wrote. She's not alone in her experience. In a 2018 Quora thread , one user described a similar situation, saying they were billed for repairs on their old car even after the dealership accepted it as a trade-in. A top commenter suggested that the key is negotiating those terms before signing anything. 'That's the kind of thing you negotiate before,' they wrote. 'So what were the terms when you traded the car? Did they say they would cover all expenses required to bring the old one back to usable shape? If you were led to believe that they were picking up all expenses, just take the bill back to the garage and tell them, 'These repairs took place after you took ownership—so I shouldn't be receiving this bill.'' What to Know If You're Having 'Buyer's Remorse' @veepeeursfavv didn't specify what kind of SUV she bought, or which state she lives in. But those details matter. Depending on where you are, backing out of a car deal after signing paperwork can be tough, if not impossible. Some states, like Utah, make it crystal clear that buyer's remorse isn't enough to cancel a sale. 'Once you purchase a vehicle, you assume responsibility for it,' the Utah Department of Commerce notes on its website . While some dealerships may offer return policies, those are optional, not legally required. Texas seems to have similar rules . The state doesn't provide a legal right to return a new or used car just because you regret the purchase. Chase Bank , meanwhile, also warns that once you've signed a purchase agreement, there's usually no easy way to undo it. Still, there are a few exceptions where a deal might fall through. Contingent Financing: If your purchase is based on getting approved for financing and that falls through, the agreement may be void, and the car can be returned. Dealer Non-Delivery: If the dealership fails to deliver the agreed-upon vehicle (wrong model, missing features, etc.), you could have grounds to cancel the deal. Fraud or Misrepresentation: If the dealer misled you about the car's condition, history, or financing terms, that may void the contract under state consumer protection laws. Chase noted that some people wrongfully assume that car sales include a 'cooling-off period,' or a window of time to change your mind. But, according to the Federal Trade Commission, that doesn't apply to vehicle purchases. Once you sign, you're locked in. Viewers Urge Her to Contact the Dealership Directly With no federal 'cooling-off' period and state laws varying widely, many viewers encouraged @veepeeursfavv to take her concerns straight to the dealership. 'If immediate, tell them you want to unwind the deal,' one commenter advised. 'Usually not because it's a legal contract, but it really depends on the dealership,' another noted. 'Contact them ASAP.' 'No matter the state, the dealership can always unwind the deal as long as it has not made it all the way through the titling department,' a third chimed in. Others held back, asking key questions before weighing in. 'How long since signed?' one asked. To that, @veepeeursfavv responded that she signed the paperwork on June 28. Some offered glimmers of hope based on their own experiences. 'Nissan gave me 90 days,' one woman shared. 'They'll hassle you about it but, yes, for the most part, you do have a grace period,' another added. Motor1 has reached out to @veepeeursfavv via a TikTok direct message.

The spectacle presidency: How Trump governs through distraction

'President Donald Trump says there's a TikTok buyer that he'll reveal in 'about two weeks,'' read a June 29 CNN headline. The phrase 'about two weeks' has become a hallmark of Trump's communication style — an ever-moving deadline that signals action is imminent but never quite arrives. Roughly two weeks before that TikTok claim, Trump had told reporters it would be 'about two weeks' before he decided how to respond to Iran. In that case, he acted within three days. And nearly two months earlier, asked how he would respond to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump again answered, 'I'll let you know in about two weeks.' As New York Times reporter Shawn McCreesh noted before the U.S. bombing of Iran, Trump's 'two weeks' refrain has applied to everything from tax plans and healthcare to conspiracy theories and infrastructure. NPR noted that this is not a new strategy, as Trump often espoused on the two-week refrain in his first term. But this isn't just some verbal tick — it's a calculated tactic. Two weeks is a time frame that feels just around the corner but is distant enough to delay scrutiny. It generates anticipation, keeps the press guessing and monopolizes public attention. In essence, it's distraction disguised as transparency. In Trump's second term, this politics of distraction has proved remarkably effective. Despite growing evidence of policy failures and corruption, Trump has maintained his popularity by dominating headlines and reshaping narratives faster than facts can catch up. Scholar Tim Wu has explained how capitalism has increasingly come to depend on attention, monetized through advertising, misinformation and influencer content. Attention is a commodity, and Trump has mastered how to corner the market. As Mickey Huff and I argued in 'United States of Distraction,' Trump's rise is rooted in a media ecosystem shaped by the attention economy, where spectacle — not truth — wins the day. Too much of the legacy media is now fully embedded in the attention economy, following the president's every spectacle — not because it's newsworthy, but because it's engaging. And that engagement drives traffic, ratings and revenue. This creates a symbiotic loop: Trump thrives on spectacle, and the media reward it. Meanwhile, real issues — for example, Trump's misuse of government contracts in his first term or his current promotion of dubious cryptocurrency schemes — receive minimal sustained coverage. Trump is exploiting the attention economy with a politics of distraction, enriching himself while convincing supporters he's delivering on the policies they care about. Trump has long viewed governance through the lens of television, where drama and visuals take precedence over substance. During a heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump even admitted he kept the press in the room because it made for 'great television.' His strategy follows a predictable cycle: achieve a goal, often under false pretenses, and then, just as the public begins to scrutinize it, pivot to a new, emotionally charged issue. Take April 2, dubbed 'Liberation Day' by the Trump administration. That day, Trump announced tariffs, based on formulas that may have been generated by artificial intelligence. Markets quickly tanked. For the first time in years, Trump's poll numbers on the economy dipped. In response, his team released conflicting information about a '90-day pause' on the tariffs — a claim that was later denied — further muddying the waters. As confusion mounted, Trump shifted attention to immigration and protests — two topics his administration has reliably weaponized. He deployed the National Guard to cities like Los Angeles, falsely citing 'paid protesters' opposing mass deportations. Though local officials, including the governor, mayor and police chief, insisted the protests were peaceful and did not require military intervention, Trump proceeded anyway. The resulting spectacle backfired when images of a Marine detaining a U.S. citizen — an unprecedented move — unsettled many Republican lawmakers and military veterans, who saw it as a disturbing display of authoritarianism. So, Trump pivoted again — this time, to Iran. Following an Israeli bombing of Iranian targets, Trump authorized U.S. airstrikes; the decision redirected the news cycle. Unlike in the past, though, Trump did not wait for public opinion to shift based on false claims; he bombed first. Some supporters, like podcaster Dave Smith, turned against Trump, calling for his impeachment in the wake of the bombing. Similarly, Tucker Carlson publicly rebuked the move and embarrassed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in an interview that revealed the Texas Republican's ignorance about the country he supported bombing. Meanwhile, the administration claimed it had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program — another distortion quickly challenged by press leaks. As doubts swirled about the efficacy of the strikes, Trump pivoted once more, this time to a domestic priority: his 'One Big Beautiful Bill.' This sweeping economic bill, which includes unpopular cuts to Medicaid, has become the centerpiece of his rhetoric in recent weeks. The president went all-in on signing it by 'July 4' — another arbitrary deadline designed to generate suspense. Meanwhile, in an effort to maintain support for the bill, Trump falsely claimed that it did not cut entitlements or dramatically increase the deficit, even as independent analyses show otherwise. What will Trump use to distract the public next? And perhaps more critically, will the media keep chasing the spectacle?

TikTok CEO asks to meet with industry minister over shutdown order

OTTAWA - The CEO of TikTok is asking Industry Minister Mélanie Joly for an urgent meeting about the federal government's order directing the company to shut down its Canadian operations. Shou Chew wrote to Joly on July 2 asking for an in-person meeting within two weeks, according to a letter obtained by The Canadian Press. Chew argued that order was made in different circumstances, when it looked like the United States was going to ban TikTok. 'There is no upside to this outdated and counterproductive government order, which was issued under a different government and in a different era, and which doesn't reflect today's reality,' the letter says. In November, Ottawa ordered the dissolution of TikTok's Canadian business following a national security review of ByteDance Ltd., the Chinese company behind the social media platform. While TikTok has been told to wind down its Canadian operations, the app will continue to be available to Canadians. Chew argued going ahead with that November directive would make Canada an outlier among its allies, including other countries that are part of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance. He said the order appeared to be based on 'assumptions about TikTok's future in the United States which no longer hold true.' Canada launched its national security review in the fall of 2023 but did not disclose it until March 2024, when the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to ban TikTok if ByteDance did not divest its stake. But in June, U.S. President Donald Trump extended the deadline to ban TikTok in the U.S. for a third time. In the July 2 letter, Chew said that without Joly's intervention, the company would soon have to fire more than 350 employees in Canada, stop its direct investment in Canada and cut support for Canadian creators and culture. 'The wind-up process is rapidly approaching a critical juncture,' he wrote. On July 7, TikTok said it was pulling out as a sponsor of several Canadian arts institutions, including the Juno Awards and the Toronto International Film Festival. A spokesperson for Joly did not answer questions about whether the minister has responded to the letter or plans to meet with Chew. TikTok is challenging the shutdown order in Federal Court. It launched a legal challenge in December, arguing the government ordered 'measures that bear no rational connection to the national security risks it identifies.' Ottawa's national security review was carried out through the Investment Canada Act, which allows the government to investigate any foreign investment with the potential to harm national security. When he was industry minister, François-Philippe Champagne said the government was taking action to address 'specific national security risks.' He didn't specify what those risks are. Privacy and safety concerns about TikTok and ByteDance have focused on Chinese national security laws that compel organizations in the country to assist with intelligence gathering. Chew said no evidence has been presented to show that TikTok is a security threat to Canada and the government has not been interested in discussing solutions. He said the government's concerns could be addressed through measures such as enhanced data security protocols and additional transparency and oversight measures. The shutdown order would leave TikTok available to its 14 million users in Canada, Chew said in the letter. But the company would 'no longer have a presence or representatives within Canada's jurisdiction,' he added. He said the company's Canadian employees have appeared at Parliamentary committees, engaged with regulators, trained Canadian law enforcement on how to submit lawful access requests and worked with Elections Canada during the federal election. 'TikTok maintaining a presence in Canada means there is a local team who is accountable to Canadian policy-makers and authorities,' he wrote. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 14, 2025.
