Can you back out once you place a deposit ....guidance?

We have been searching for an upgrade, and found 2 dealers one local and one who was not, they were close in price and I didn't have to drive my trade to another state, we got an emailed price, I accepted it and put a deposit down,and they have started the title process, now the out of state dealer sent me a price lower by 4000 dollars. AM I legally binded to the local dealers or can I back out, and go with the out of state dealer?

  • They haven't started any title process, if they won't refund your payment just dispute the CC charge.

    But, if you have the same thing exactly, you might try to renegotiate. If they value your business, you might work it into something mutually agreeable. Your best hope might be some options or upgrades. That way, they are not just losing the $3000. You are getting goodies and they are selling you goodies they paid less on.


    The out of state dealer claims to work with warrenty centers throughout the US, but the local dealer has (worked into their price i am sure) a lifetime warrenty on all appliances (Fridge, AC, Heat, stove).
