Morally, of course, the dealer should refund their money. The law (which involves laywers and politicians and has little to do with with morality) may be another matter. However, you may still have a good shot. Some general advice though on putting down a deposit: Because all car dealers ask for one, like it or not, you may someday be forced to do this too. When I leased my new Supra, they did not have one to my liking in stock. So, before I handed over a check and signed the purchase/lease order, I had them write on it: 5 speed, no sunroof, cloth interior, black exterior. I knew at the time that I would probably settle for something different (metalic blue with a sunroof, in fact), but by having this in writing I maintained all my bargaining power. They didn't give me any trouble about putting this in writing. I simply told them I wanted it in writing so there would be no confusion or misunderstanding later on about what I wanted. -- "The Model CItisen" Mike^Z Zaleski@Rutgers [ allegra!, ihnp4! ] pegasus!mzal
