There is NO right to return a car because you changed your mind.

I can not say this enough!!!
The 72 hours rule that everyone keeps talking about applies to in home sales. It does not apply when you go to a "normal place of business". It was designed to prevent people from being pressured into signing contracts just to get the salesman to leave their home. When you go to a place of business, you always have the option of walking out. You can not walk out of a sales situation in your own home.
When you take delivery of a vehicle, and drive it off the dealers lot, you own it!! The dealer is not required to take it back, and most likely will not. If he does, you will have to buy another vehicle from him, because he is not going to refund your money.
Unless the dealer is financing the vehicle themselves, they have been paid for the car, and will not take it from you. What you are talking about doing is a voluntary repossession. This will not save you any money, because the finance company will sell the car and sue you for the balance, after they deduct storage and sale charges!
Unless you are filing bankruptcy, in which case your lawyer can handle the return of the vehicle, you are not going to come out ahead by giving the car back!!

If you signed the papers, then you own it, or at least are responsible for making payments on the car. If you drove it off the lot and if you try to return it, then its considered a used car. You should have reviewed all the paperwork before you signed any papers. I ran into this problem a while ago, and I couldn't return the vehicle either, I was pretty much stuck paying on it. The only thing you could legally do is trade the vehicle back in on a lesser vehicle, however, you would still be responsible to pay the difference, since they will probably give you less than what you paid for it, you will still owe that amount. Sorry.

Fremont Ford is very bad they will cheat anyone they can .I got my new car at Fremont ford and was asked to do online feed back ..I did it and was honest .the day I got my 2014 brand new ford focus the car would not go straight down the road .I took it to the fremont ford shop the first day and the next 3 days and it still would not drive right .the chulch was making a sound and they just tell me there is no code for this .when they read my feed back I was band from fremont ford and the service and I now drive a 2014 ford focus with only 2000 miles on it with a high payment and the car is a mess .I am told by ford motor company there is nothing I can do .fremont ford can sell people a new can and not service the car even I paid for s service contract ..I cant believe this I paid for a new car and they wont service it..I also had fremont ford fix the paint on the rear bumper .and when I got the car back I was driving down the free way and the rear bumper fell about all the way off and was draging down the freeway ..I put it back on the best I could and will try to go to other dealer .I hope the other dealer will fix the mess from fremont ford ..
my next step is to drive up to fremont ford and drop the keys on there desk and take the ding on my credit .I tried to trad the car in to a few other dealers but they all say I paid way to much for the car ..they say that I was ripped off by fremont ford .I would never buy a car from fremont ford ..I feel so bad cuz I had a guy tell me dont go to fremont ford and I did not listen to him ..and if anyone wants a ford focus remember to check in to the car first they now have a new trans that is bad and will never work right ..
but I tell you one thing if you buy a car it is yours there is no way to return it I tried everything ..the only way to get out of it is trade it in and lose your butt..cuz the dealer will tell you they will help you out and say they will pay it off but the only thig they will do is sell you a car and add part of what you owe on your car to the new car and you will pay for the new car and a part of your old car ...big rip offs ..buyer be ware

I had done Buy Here-Pay Here on my car lot for 26 yrs. .. People like you are the reason I stopped..Now, if they come to my car lot,they either have good credit or cash to buy one now..Alot of dealers are following in my tracks because people just dont care that I tried to help them...Sure,I was making money also,but Im still making money,only I know now im getting paid when the car leaves me..
Anyway, there is no legal way to return it..If you really want to do whats legal,pay the people that loaned you the money to buy it..

Chrissy B is absolutely wrong. I am not saying this to be mean or rude, just honest. There is no 3 day return law. Those here who keep perpetuating this myth are not doing anyone a favor by creating false hope. You can return the car to the bank but will be responsible to pay the difference between what you owe and what it sells for at auction.

Can you return a car if you have paid for it but haven't picked it up yet? In other words, it hasn't been driven off the lot. Also, I am doing a trade in and I still have the vehicle that I am trading in my possession?

You don't return it to the dealer. The dealer has no right to the vehicle. The bank is the owner of the vehicle until you've paid it off and they release the title to you. You signed a contract and you are bound to the terms within that contract. You are still going to owe the bank money no matter what you do. Man up and honor your obligations.

Why do people always think the dealer is involved besides storing the car for the bank(volunteered repo) Dealers do it out of courtesy. Money owed is to the bank.

With the exception of the first answer you got valid points, I know FIRE4511 hammered the same answer 3 times and the reason being he must have been asked this same question a thousand times, everything he says is correct.in detail.
If your prepared to take the consequences then why bother returning the car ? play the cat and mouse game with the repo man as long as you can, your credit will be screwed just the same and you got wheels till the day your outsmarted.
However some day down the road you may want to re-establish and start fresh, read this link on my site it will show you how to deal with blemished credit http://www.usedcartips.org/CREDI.html
