Contact your state Attorney General's office and ask about your states lemon law and if the state has a mandatory buy back program. If your state has a mandatory buy back program, you will need to document all the problems with the vehicle and explain your desire to return the vehicle. The dealership will have a certain amount of time (2 weeks in my state) to make the vehicle right or return all the money (including taxes and license fees) to you. While car shopping with my sister last summer, a dealer we visited sold Kia's. I noticed in the back at least 6 Kia's including a couple of Sportages with "do not sell" signs in the windows. Being as this was by the service department, not the delivery prep area, I think it would be safe to assume the cars were dealer buy backs.
