What is the name of your state? VA
Is there any kind of law in VA or anything to back up a car down payment? My aunt put a down payment of $1000 on a used car that the dealership was asking $6900 for. She could not get to the dealership at that time becuase she was in Florida but the lady at the service desk said she could make a down payment and pick it up later and pay the rest. She got a call back from the manager saying they had sold the car on the spot and were refunding her money she put down. She was outraged and said why would you do this and he just said that if he didn't sell the car to the people there he could have been sued for discrimination. We think that they just offered more for the car and he was greedy. Isn't there any kind of agreement with a business like that that says once they debited the $1000 out of the account that the deal had been made? Is there anything she can do? That is just very backstabbing of them
