No..there is no 3 day right to rescind. The above posting is not correct.

The "three-day cooling off period" for canceling a contract does NOT apply to new or used car purchases. Many consumers think that it does apply, but it does not.

This comes from the government website. Never trust 3rd party information. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Car Buyer’s Bill of Rights a big help for used car buyers
California became the first state in the country to pass an auto “lemon law” in 1982, and that pioneering legislation remains one of the most powerful, consumer-friendly laws in the country. It has, without a doubt, saved millions of dollars in headaches for consumers who have been troubled by defective automobiles who would otherwise have had to just “live with it.” Unfortunately, the California lemon law covers new cars only, and those who purchase used cars in California have still been expected to take risks. What if the car has hidden defects? What if the seller knows something bad about the car that he or she isn’t saying? Until now, the sole responsibility fell upon the buyer.

Signed into law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in late July, the Car Buyer’s Bill of Rights offers a significant change in the way used cars are sold in California. Buyers will now have the option of returning a used vehicle to the point of purchase after a two day “cooling off” period. This gives buyers an opportunity to get to know their vehicles and, with luck, a chance to find any defects or problems with the vehicle that were either unknown or undisclosed at the time of sale.

Answer 3

No. The only thing close to a rescission law is the requirement for the seller to get the vehicle smogged prior to selling it.
