There is no federal cooling-off period for vehicle purchases. Once you sign and take delivery, the car is yours, unless the dealer offers a written return policy (some do, usually 3–7 days with mileage limits) or your state has a specific used-car return rule. Read the contract for a return clause before you count on one.
Where you do have a case: material misrepresentation (an undisclosed accident, wrong mileage, a branded title), a ‘We Owe’ that is not honored, and spot-delivery financing that falls through (see that guide). Document everything in writing and contact your state attorney general’s consumer office if a dealer will not resolve a real problem.
