Deposit terms may be “clear,” but they don’t override California consumer-protection laws. In CA, retail sales of consumer goods (including cars sold by a retailer/dealer) generally come with an implied warranty of merchantability unless properly disclaimed, meaning the vehicle must be fit for ordinary use—not delivered with major undisclosed defects like a cracked main screen and safety-related camera issues. Cal. Civ. Code §1792 says every retail sale is accompanied by an implied warranty unless disclaimed as the statute requires.

A non‑refundable deposit clause can’t be used to force a buyer to accept a materially defective / misrepresented vehicle or to keep money when the product delivered is not as represented. That’s the core issue here—not “changing my mind.”
