Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

A person signs a credit card authorization agreeing to pay a $2,500 deposit towards the purchase of a new car. The authorization contains a statement that the all deposits are non-refundable. A couple of days after the document is signed, the person decides not to purchase the car. A request is made by the person for a refund of the deposit. The salesman indicates verbally to the person that there will be a refund of the deposit despite the signed agreement. However, a few days after this verbal statement, the salesman's superior countermands that verbal assurance, and invokes the written statement a reason for not refunding the $2,500.

Question:

Given the facts as stated, is any relief available to the person under Florida consumer or contractual law?

Possibly yes. A deposit on a vehile cannot be help back unless certain conditions arise. One need to see the agreement and take a history of the facts to decide. =
