No, unfortunately, there is no three-day right of rescission for auto purchases in AK. (It actually applies to very few transactions; the main one is signing a mortgage for a home.)
If your daughter believes that she was ripped off because either (1) actual misrepresentations (lies) were made to her (such as misrepresenting the mileage; that the car had never been in an accident when it had been; etc.) or (2) that critical information was omitted which should have been disclosed and which a reasonable person would believe should be disclosed (e.g. that when the mileage says 11,000, that's 111,000, not really 11,000), then she might have a cause of action. If it's merely that she made a bad deal, then she would not have recourse.
