Answer:
No federal or state law allows you to cancel a car purchase contract within 72 hours. However, you may rescind a contract if fraud is involved. Fraud has five elements:
- A false statement is made;
- The maker knows the statement is false or is reckless about its truth;
- The maker intends for the listener to rely on the statement;
- The listener does rely on the statement;
- The listener suffers harm as a result.
