    Except there are actually laws in place that let you do exactly that for a car purchase (in non-shithole places)

          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.

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

                I have been reading the links, have you been? Or reading your messages and mine? The LA one refers directly to used car purchases, which if we are still comparing these poor people to cars would be relevant, at least for those that are not children.

                I’ll admit the first didn’t have have any good examples (that I saw), it was more to convey the concept of buyers remorse laws existing for cars, since you sounded absolutely incredulous about the idea.

                or anything else you purchase in-person

                I clearly made the link text say that there were buyers remorse for other purchases.

                Ah misunderstood that one, thought you were just referring to the people sold as cars in general. My bad.
