In most states ( I will not say all but am fairly confident it is ) once you have taken delivery of the vehicle your right to withdraw from the contract is gone.
This is exactly why a dealer will try to put you into the car right away as in take it home now, They do not want you to go home without that car and the sales contract signed they know once you leave they have you. The reason being that the dealers are under pressure from the state and if you financed, The bank to get the paperwork off right away.
If the car is New it has a MCO manufactuers certificate of origin and a title from your state is issued once paperwork from the dealer is sent off making it a used car now. There are of course different laws for every state and some rules that protect you if the transaction takes place somwhere else other than the dealership, There are also Lemon laws but that is different from the sales contract.
The sales contract should have a paragraph about this and more than likely will read that you understand that you have no right to withdraw from this contract once delivery is made of the car.
If you really want ot buy a particular car and want to know what it is like ask the dealer to demo it for a couple of days before you buy it, some will let you take it for a weekend and others for only a few hours but if they want the sale they will do almost anything.

Check your purchase and sales agreement. That info is normally on the back lower third. Most states allow a certain amount of time. However you are going to be charged for each mile you've driven the car. Generally 23-35cents a mile.

In CA, there is no COOLING OFF period.... unless you pay extra for it. The law was passed this year.
But there are auto companies that offer a 30 day return policy, such as Saturn and Chrysler.
Many used car dealers offer up to 7 day exhange policy for free.

Dependent on the consumer purchase laws in your state. The big question is whether you have actually taken delivery of the car or not....once a new car is titled it can only be sold as used and carries a depreciation cost

I can only speak for Minnesota law. If you go and do business at the dealership you have no recourse. If the dealership delivers the vehicle to your home and you sign paperwork at your house you have 72 hours to back out.

each state typically has it's own law relating to the period of return designed specifically for cars. a car dealership in your state typically will have it posted or be able to tell you.

As far as I know its works for autos as well, check your contract it should have it in there in fine print.

It is according what state you live in, but I'm pretty sure you have 30 days.
