Nope, as soon as you drive the car off the lot after the paperwork is completed the car is yours. After you drive it off the lot you have officially taken possession of the vehicle. This is why many dealerships make you test drive a car after you have purchased it when they need to make upgrades and installs. That way you have legally purchased the car and you will not be able to change your mind the next day. This answer is a fact. When I sold cars we did it all the time

I would first question the purchase of a car as is, but legally u might have some recourse if you bought it from a car lot, but from the situation being sold "as is" u might want to read the fine print. Usually u have 24 hours or something like that. I would also caution that u might not get a refund if it was from a private owner, they may say that u purchased as is... I would check with the Better Business Burreau and there might be a general purchase law on used cars that allow 7 days return or refund.
Best of luck and hope it works out... I would also check into the lemon law.. Sales of bummer cars from some places can be made to refund the total sales amount.
This i know from first hand experience.... I had a new car under the lemon law. Too many repairs.

There is NO cooing-off period. You do not have three days to return the car regarless of condition. The car was sold as-is, and i'm 99% sure the dealer considers this a final sale and will not take the car back. Congratulation, you just bought a car.

Check with your local BBB. They maybe able to help. In the state of Texas we have a lemon law, but it only applies to new car sales. Most states are the same. However, at my dealership if someone has the backing of the BBB and is really unhappy, we will work with the customer to resolve the issue in most cases. You must be more careful. If the dealer wants to play not nice you are going to be stuck with the car. "AS IS" means just what it says.

Only you hold the best answer here. Read the Buyer's Agreement that you signed. Usually you have 3 days, yes, but it's not a good idea to wait til the last day. And if you had someone with you when buying, bring them with you when taking it back...as a witness, just in case.
Know why you are bringing it back. If you truly don't like it and don't want it, period, then don't let the dealership change your mind if they fixed something on it.

you purchased a $seven-hundred vehicle and anticipate it to be in ideal structure? Get actual. It does no longer opt to be printed as-is interior the advert. there is not any 3 day go back regulation or coverage. Time for some upkeep on your Geo.

well if you bought the car from just an individual than you don't have any rights, but if you bought the car from a car lot or dealership than there is a thirty day lemon law if you have any major problems.

On a simple whim probably not depends on your local laws, if something is wrong with it u can use the lemon laws but im sure they vary as well

Some states do indeed have a 72 hour lemon law. Ohio's is quite strict, for example. You'll have to check with your local DMV.

The 'as is' is self explanatory.
