Look I get it, and im all for Tom and feel bad for him. The dealer screwed him. BUT the dealer didn't break any laws/rules. A deal isn't a deal until you walk out with a Bill of Sale at the end of the day. Everything up until that point are games you play. I've NEVER in my life ever signed a "deposit" agreement. Or whatever you want to call it. I've given many deposits but i've never signed one of these because it's ALWAYS refundable. There's no such thing as a NON REFUNDABLE deposit. It's just ways dealers get you to REALLY buy a car. It's all sales tacticsSetting aside debating what a contract is, my point was why would an FE reservation holder sign off on a document ( 1-23-21 ) that boldly states Badlands.
This may not be a completed sales contract but it still is a contract to perform for consideration.
Did the dealer order / locate a Badlands ?
If they did, then hasn’t the dealer fulfilled the contract and can keep the partial payment even if they can’t come to final sales terms? ( barring any state law )
Again not saying what the dealer did was RIGHT, not by a long shot. But i'm just pointing out that people keep calling this a contract when it's not. The more you know about how car sales works, the better prepared you can be when you buy a car. Knowing that the deposit agreement is in no way a contract will HELP people when they go to buy a car. They'll be more prepared.
