whats up /wsr/
need legal request/help
SWIM put a deposit on a vehicle to hold it while SWIM needed to get their stipulations together for financing an auto loan and also didn't want it sold to someone else. SWIM was told verbally that the deposit was non refundable, but that there was an approval so that isn't even relevant.
SWIM came back to get the vehicle, however when the credit application was submitted, the income showed $3000 monthly. Only about $1000 was provable once bank statements/paystubs were provided. This was a sub prime loan so all of that was neccesary. SWIM signed a credit application saying they made $3000 monthly.
The dealer offered to refund about $400 since the vehicle was taken off the market for some time and they missed out on sales and what not.
What ground is there on this? is SWIM entitled to a full refund? The dealer is insisting they said no refunds and they are also saying they have a sign in the show room stating that there are no refunds unless stated otherwise.
If it helps, this is in Texas.

Can't you just string 'em up or roll them in tar and feathers?
Or.. y'know: see a lawyer who deals in contract law

Is there a contract? What does that say?
Generally speaking, courts don't like forfeitures and tend to only permit actual damages.
That the dealership is willing to refund part (? you never wrote what the actual deposit amount was) of the deposit is a pretty good indicator that they're aware of this, because if they knew they could keep the full deposit without a problem, they'd do that.
