The deposit is the cost of removing the vehicle from the market. You forfeit the deposit if you back out of the deal. I think the dealer is letting you off lightly by just charging the cost of the new rubber.
"the cost of removing the vehicle from the market"
What does that even mean? Sounds a little like "dealer speak" to me.
Plus I doubt they would "remove it" until it actually sold (deal done and closed out and vehicle fully paid for).
It was sold. Unless you are suggesting it would have been ok for the dealer to sell it to someone else after receiving the deposit. Having just purchased a used car last week I know how quick a good used vehicle can sell. I missed out on a half dozen just because I could not get to the location quick enough.
You dont know that because you dont know what the original agreement said.
So you are one of those that would sell it to someone else for a better price even though you took a deposit from someone else? I don't do business that way.
Absolutely not. I'm saying, as I've pointed out before, a lot of times you can put a token downpayment to hold the vehicle for a brief period of time while you make a final decision. The token down payment is almost always refundable if you decide not to take it. The op called first thing the next morning.
However, none of us here know, with the exception of the OP, if the original agreement said it was refundable or not. Were all speculating.
Were talking about a 14 year old half ton with stains on the carpet, not a 63 split window Vette. I highly doubt the dealer had them lined up at the door chomping at the bit for the opportunity to drive it away.
