I accepted a $1000 deposit on my car and we agreed on $5300 to be paid after the car passed inspection. I told the buyer that he had to pay for the inspection and we would negotiate the sale price from there if work needed to be done. They took the car to a dealership and told me that the car needed $1200 in repairs. I was surprised he had taken it to a dealership for the inspection because I think the prices are always inflated car dealerships. I said that I thought that was crazy and I took the car to a mechanic who did the repairs necessary for the car to pass inspection for $650 and also paid for a certificate of inspection. After the work was done, the buyer told me he would come back for the car today. Today, he told me that he changed his mind and he wants his deposit back. I only paid the money for these repairs because he was buying the car. Do I now have to refund the deposit?? He acts like I am trying to rip him off when I think I have been more than fair.
