deposit cashed on a supercar

Go the guys house with a truck and trailer and get that car. If not, threaten with your lawyer. That is about all you can do. This happened to me just months ago and I was unsuccessful in getting the car. I have half the money back and working on the other half. What a shame. This is a negative side of the hobby! Crooks.

edit... if you have a signed contract and he neglects to fulfill his end of the contract than he is in violation of specific performance. Call you laywer!

I think the fact that he cashed your check and you had noted on the check what it was for gives you a very strong case. Spend the money on a attorney if you really want the car.

I think I have a case, I do not have a lawyer though, need to find one that specializes in cases like this. Something is up because he wants me to take back a refund and cash it. If I take back my deposit, then I effectively walked away from the deal. I read once about a guy cashing a deposit on a rare mopar convert and 1 yr or so later the court made it go to the guy that made the deposit (the fact that he cashed the check consimated a deal). The check itself is my main contract I have(it has the serial number and description of car, and is described clearly as a deposit on such, it was not a basic check). I had the sending bank and receiving bank notarize the check after this all happened. I have voice mails and phone records. This car is well in the 6 figures, and was not to have been built. It has not left his premises yet either. I can use any help, but going there with a trailer ain't gonna work. Need a good musclecar lawyer or advice on whether I am truely screwed.

Paging Lynn........Paging Lynn...........

Seriously, I doubt that you're screwed. You need to really decide if the car is worth the hassle it's gonna be to get it. But if you really, really want it, and are willing to have it take some time, get a lawyer...and the sooner, the better.

If you have a friend in town that is a policeman to get in touch with him wouldn't hurt either.

That blows, not cool.

Free legal advice isn't worth the money you paid for it.

Call the lawyer NOW and dont waste any more time posting here til you get some actual legal assistance. Time is of the essense. (that's my free legal advice as an attorney)

I respect all the help. I talked with Bruce and I think I have a chance. Time for a $100 donation to sYc now, once my wife tells me what our pay pal password is. Many thanks to all. Bob.
