        You’re more than welcome to provide a link the law - as far as I can find, there is no mandatory cooling period for purchasing a car - or anything else you purchase in-person (many more exceptions for online) - unless there are issues. This appears to be true in both the EU as a whole and the US, though I haven’t looked into individual EU countries.

        Also, literally none of this applies to a sale between two private individuals. None of this would ever apply unless you buy from a retailer, which is not the scenario here as I understand it 🤷‍♂️

          I was merely showing buyers remorse laws exist for car purchases, though it looks like some of them aren’t in effect anymore at least in California (my last used car had a cooling off period).

          And you can’t really compare it to “this scenario” because (most?) civilized countries don’t condone the buying and selling of people. You’re more than welcome to provide a link to legal retailers of humans though.

          There are buyers remorse laws for other purchases as well, such as this

            You need to actually read the links you’re providing.

            The buyer’s remorse one specifically refers to high-pressure sales such as door-to-door salesmen or a temporary business location (meeting a salesman in a hotel), or some subscriptions or delayed services. Nothing that would apply to buying a car without a really odd scenario.

            And you can’t really compare it to “this scenario” because (most?) civilized countries don’t condone the buying and selling of people.

            I was referring to the “sign the title over then regret it” scenario at the top of this thread.
