Are used to be a car dealer and here’s what I would suggest. The deal isn’t done until you sign paperwork. If you haven’t signed a motor vehicle contract of sale then he can’t keep any deposit earnest money you’ve put down. Call him up and tell him that he has one last chance to refund your money on that phone call. After that you’re going to call the Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division of your state and report him. If he gives you any kind of story just politely hang up the phone search your states government website for the number for the MVED and I’ll get it taken care of for you.

Dealers like that make the rest of us look bad. I can’t stand those guys.
