What is the name of your state? North Carolina
Thanks in advance for checking this. Recently we agreed to sell a car to one of my wifes friends, but they wanted new tires, new battery, and a fresh oil change. Naturally we told him we would do so if he would give us a $200 deposit. The paper my wife and he signes says literally "..$200 towards the balance of the car" with no word "deposit" and no mention of the new tires etc. After getting the battery and tires and oil change for free, since i knew people that owed my favors, they decide that they do not want the car anymore and would like their deposit back. We refused to give the deposit back, since the deposit was taken in case this happened. Now they are taking us to small claims court for the $200. what are my chances?
