The nationwide three days "cooling off" period for car buyers to return a car to a dealership.

Created by O.K. on March 20, 2015

Contrary to popular belief, automobiles typically do not qualify as a returnable item under the various buyer's remorse laws. These laws typically give a consumer a three-day "grace" or cooling-off period and enables them to change their mind on the purchase within three days of signing a contract. While these laws protect consumers after the purchase of some products, you can only return a vehicle if your contract with the dealer gives you the right to do so.
