Only if the contract you signed with the dealer spells one out.
Daimler-Chrysler recently ran a promotion that advertised a 30 day or 3,000 mile return policy. However the fine print made it a very steep option. The buyer was responsible for a 5% restocking fee plus $0.50 per mile for every mile driven. On a $25,000 car driven 2,000 miles, that worked out to $2,250.00 that the buyer would have to pay for the use of the car.
There is no right of recission granted by law in any of the 50 states, nor is there a federal law that confers that right on auto sales.
While most states do have a so-called Lemon Law, most of them are written in such a manner that very few ever qualify for a refund from the manufacturer. These laws only apply to new vehicles that are still under warranty and even then typically only for the first 12 - 18 months of service.

It depends if you purchased the car a a dealer the answer is no, but if you got the car at a off sight sale that a dealer was putting on yes u can return it.

If you buy it on your own property, there is a 3 day lemon grace period. But that is only if you buy it on your own property (like if you buy a used car and the former owner brings you the car to your house. You then give him the money at your house and he signs over the title to you at your house, then it is sold on your property and you get the 3 day lemon period). Beyond that you will probably have to go to court if it turns out to be a lemon, and there is no guarantee you can win (though it is not a foregone conclusion that you'll lose either).

Check where you live...sometimes there is a cooling off period for used vehicles. Dealer in CA had a two day cooling off for used cars and had the policy posted up everywhere you looked.

No. Cars are to big a purchase and since once they leave the lot there is no way of the dealer knowing what you did it can not be returned and sold as new.

The answer to that is yes, possibly.
It is likely spelled out in one of the forms that you sign when you buy the car. It is usually a function of state law, which obviously varies from state to state.
A separate consideration is whether your state has a ''lemon law'', meaning that if your car is defective, you have certain rights.
Below is a link from Bankrate with more on lemon laws.

well i bought a car and i signed something that said you cant return it if you change your mind. but i realized i couldnt afford the car payment after i left the lot so i came back a day later and they told me you cant return it and i said well i cant afford it so either repo it or return it. so they took it back but i lost my $100 deposit. better losing $100 bucks then 17 grand.
