A deposit is a contract holding the potential purchase off the market for some agreed period of time. Unless you can prove some material difference between what was IN WRITING and what they provided, you're on the hook for the deposit. Those agreements are generally overwhelmingly in favor of the dealer, since their attorney wrote it. It might be worth your time to pay your own attorney to take a look at the contract. Don't hold your breath.
There is nothing in writing that we were asked to sign. Deposit was made by phone after leaving dealership. Nobody sent us a bill of sale or requested our signature. We asked for VIN# for insur. coverage purposes then received bill of sale by email. Unit was stock, new but 1 year old. Deposit made on a Thurs. Called off deal on a Tues. No mods made to unit but they say it was prepped. Website plainly states they do NOT charge prep on ANY unit sold.
Issue pending....have offered them $100. resolution.
