If you’ve purchased a new or used car and you’re having second thoughts about it, in most cases, you won’t be able to return the car. The dealer who sold you the car is usually not legally obligated to take the car back and issue you a refund or exchange after you’ve signed the sales contract.

You can say that you have discovered you don’t like the car or that it will stretch your budget and put you in dire financial straits.
