Be Aware!

My dad had a guy give him 700 down on a 95 dakota and said that he would be back in a week with the rest and take the truck. 5 weeks, several calls, 3 lost buyers later the guy call back and says that he wants his 700 back. Needless to say he did not get one cent back and the truck was sold to someone else.
Everyone that deals in or with cars knows that a deposit is nonrefundable if you back out of the deal. Once a sale is lost due to a deposit beeing put down you lost your deposit plain and simple.
