In Florida, retail establishments can set any refund policy they so choose; however, they must post their policy at the point of sale. If there is no "no refund" notice posted, you may, within seven calendar days of the date of purchase, return any new, unused item (in the original packaging) to the store with the receipt/proof of purchase.

The three-day right of rescission (buyer's right to cancel) - Florida Statute 501.025 - applies to home solicitation sales ONLY. A home solicitation is a sale in excess of $25 in which the buyer is solicited at a place other than the seller's business establishment.

Unfortunately, there is no cooling off period for car sales in the Florida. Unless anything above applies to your situation - you are under the purchase contract.

The right to return the car in a few days for a refund exists only if the dealer grants this privilege to buyers. - it may be described as a "cooling-off" period, a money-back guarantee or a "no questions asked" return policy.

Another option is a lemon law - if the car has some defects - http://www.carlemon.com/lemon/FL_law.html

Otherwise - I do not see any recourse for you.
