If the transaction was completed, in other words, if the consideration was paid or the loan was signed and the title was issued in your name, you own the car.

Can you return new car if not deliverd?

Most states have a "no-cooling off" period for vehicle purchases. California, for example, is one that has a law different than this. When you drive off the lot with a vehicle, it is legally yours. However, you must keep in mind that when financing through the dealer, until the bank cashes the contract (gives them the money) it is up to them whether to take it back or not. It is a simple process, but most dealers will probably not comply. Another option would be to talk to the bank that you financed it with. If for some reason the information the dealership submitted to them through the application was incorrect, they may not "cash" the contract. If the dealer cannot get the money they will likely demand the vehicle back.
