Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

I'm a first time buyer and put down a $1800 cash deposit on a car. After considering the loan offers and high insurance rates, I decided against the purchase. I called the dealership and spoke with the sales person and manager and they told me "look at your receipt, it says non-refundable". First time I heard the money was non-refundable and I never signed a document. I told them I would take action, filing a claim with the Better Business Bureau, the DMV and small claims court. They dared me to take the actions mentioned. In the state of Florida, is the dealership able to keep the money? If not, how do I go about getting my money?

It there was no contract, it becomes and interesting issue. The dealer must return depostis unless they can prove certain issues and it must be stated on the deposit slip. I need more information. See ConsumerLawyerHelp.com
