> lol ok dude relax, im just trying to help out and educate here since i actually work in the business. I took the courses and I have to know this since i work in it. The first contract is not to hold the car lol… it is a bill of sale. The final paperwork that you do is the bank contracts with the bank. The bill of sale is a contract between the dealer and the individual buying the car. And yes it is legally binding to the purchase. Now if someone wants to break the contract, the dealer can let them out (as in the case of Jowo and your dealership) but does not have too. If you want out, they wont necessarily make you take the car but can keep your deposit.

I know the paper work!! and how its all handled… you cant force somebody to buy a car. IF the buyer changes there mind, they’re can get there money back… I have done it three due to lost of job, the other simply cant handle the payments, and the last time the person wasnt ready for responisibilty! I have refunded the deposit and voided the sale. It is not hard to do… the dealer is just being a douche!! Sorry if I sound harsh i dont mean too, its bothers me that people are trying to screw him over something so simple!

There was one time i kept a deposit… a lady wanted a used car… i got the car fixed up, new parts and all from ford dealer, cert and etested… her dad came in and was like he dont want is daughter in a Ford. I said okay, phoned the insurance to take it off the car, did the paper to transfer name back to dealer! I kept it for extremely last minute notice on day she was going to pick it up, and her dad being a dick.
