Legal Question in Consumer Law in Georgia

use car purchase

we purchased a used car we only had 500 for the down payment the car lot got us a secondary lender loan but the loan company wanted 800 down. we told the man at the lot that we would not have the other 300 for 2 weeks he said that was fine, we signed the paper work and drove the car home that monday on thursday he called saying thaat he needed the check for the 300 or he would have to have the car back, he wanted me to write a check for him to hold until i said it was ok to cash, as i am not in the habit of wirting bad checks i took the car back to him i told him that we would pick it up when we got the remaining deposit money, after thinking about the way he handled it we have decided that we really dont want to deal with him(he owns the car lot) now he is refusing to give us our deposit back saying we have two choices to come pick up the car and bring him the check when we have it in two weeks like original agreed or come get the car when we get the other part of the down payment.

Re: use car purchase

You fail to state what your agreement says about the down payment and other issues you mention. Your contract is the first place to look for answers. It is unlikely it says that you can back out because you don't like the guy or how he "handled it," but you can hold him to the agreement he made in the contract, whatever that may be.
