A buyer agreed to buy a used car I'm trying to sell pending an inspection and gave me a $200 deposit on the car so that I would hold it for him. 3 days later he said he can't buy the car because his wife won't let him. Do I have to refund his deposit?

NO, you're below no criminal accountability. it incredibly is properly time-commemorated that deepest occasion automobile sales are continually "as is". So what if that is been in a harm? All of my autos have been in touch in minor injuries, too. None of them have been our fault. $3700 is pocket exchange while it comprises vehicle physique and paint rates. the shopper would have pulled a Carfax document formerly they bought it. they are able to threaten to sue you, they are able to even document a observe of declare in courtroom, in spite of the undeniable fact that it would not propose they'll win.

I think this is really a morals question. Just give him his money back and put the car for sale again...of course, he did give you the deposit to hold the car for him so...?

You don't have to give him the deposit back..
Whether or not you should is a seperate issue. If he seemed like a good guy, then go ahead and give it back. It's not that big of a deal.

Well it all depends if you gave him a receipt. If you didn't then he can't prove that he gave you a dime. So it depends on what you want to do, unless you gave him a receipt then you have to give the money back.

You have to give it back. The potential buyer would have gotten nothing for his money and that is illegal. Don't make him sue you for it.
