Default Re: Is your "word" something to trust?

If you put a deposit on the car, it's a binding contract. If he sold it to another person while holding your deposit he is liable for damages. But you're gonna have to spend a bunch of $$$ for a lawyer to sue him. If that doesn't bother you, go for it. You probably wont get the car but you'll get some satisfaction that the guy who sold it for a higher price will now be spending most of what he got for the car on a lawyer to defend himself against your lawsuit.
