By the terms of your deposit, it is non refundable. It is up to the dealer to decide if they wish to make any refund to you or if they will allow you to breach the agreement.

No -- that is why they call them "non-refubdable deposits." Read your contract. Your rights, duties and obligations will be explained in that doicument.
