Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I placed a deposit on a car that upon inspection I decided that I was not going to purchase. At the time I paid the deposit, I signed a handwritten receipt that said "deposit to purchase..." Does this make me liable to purchase the car?

I also got them to sign another contract saying that they would refund my deposit.

I would say that the new agreement is a "novation" of the original purchase agreement, if any. You should be able to sue on the refund agreement.
