Cooling Off Period (DMV/Vehicles) THERE IS NO COOLING-OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION. California law does not provide for a “cooling-off” or other cancellation period for vehicle sales. Therefore, you cannot later cancel this contract simply because you changed your mind, decide the vehicle cost too much or wish you had acquired a different vehicle. However, California law does require all dealers to offer a 2-day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000. This cancellation option applies only to vehicles purchased for personal or household use; it does not apply to motorcycle, off-road vehicles, recreational vehicles, or vehicles sold for business or commercial use. In order to exercise this cancellation option, you must purchase this cancellation option by 5:00pm (Pacific Time) on that specific auction day only. The amount is non-refundable, and the purchaser will also be charged a restocking fee, if the option is exercised. See Fees below: Purchase Price Cost of Option Restocking Fee Total Costs $0-$5,000 $75 $100 $175 $5,001-$10,000 $150 $200 $350 $10,001-$30,000 $250 $250 $500 $30,001-$40,000 1% 1% The vehicle must be returned within 2 days, in the same condition, and the mileage must not exceed the 250 permitted miles, otherwise the cancellation option is void.
