What a dilemma. If there is nothing wrong with the vehicle, and you simply have just changed your mind this is what car dealerships call a "cooling off period". It's usually posted on signs throughout the dealership that there is a "No Cooling Off Period" policy. This may mean that you are stuck with the car.

However, a professional sales manager may be able to work with you just days after the purchase to help you find the perfect car for you - of their on-site inventory. Once papers are signed and financing is in place, it's near impossible to cancel the transaction.

Lastly, some dealerships and auto makers offer a 1,000 mile 'test drive' with an opportunity to return the car risk-free.

Best advice, speak to the sales manager at the dealership about your options.

California has just such a 'cooling off period.' If only the citizenry would rally for a fight with their individual states for a right that they should possess, the laws could be changed. Bug the hell out of all of your government officials until this issue is before the people of the state. This is how many used-cars dealers snooker good and honest people like yourselves, and every state seems to be on the side of the crooked car dealer. UNFAIR! Let's band together and stop this nonsense. You can return a toaster, but not a car that you were lied to about? I was sold a rebuilt Ford with screws missing, but I had no say in the matter once I drove off the lot, this is evil, and it must be stopped.

Can a car dealer change his mind and get his car back?

They usually don't change their mind. What happens is a dealer sales you a car and lets you drive off thinking the purchase is complete when in fact they do not have the financing secured. This happens mainly on weekends and after normal business hour purchases. If they are unable to secure the financing they will want the car back or you to get financing of your own.

You can't change your mind. You bought it and you own it. Besides it is no longer a new car, it is a used car worth far less then the moment you drove it off the lot. The Buyers Remorse law does not apply to the purchase of a vehicle. The only way you could is if the selling dealer was offering such an arrangement.
