    ? I am sorry first you did not sign a contract, that is mistake one.

    But of course a deposit to 'hold" anything is normally not refusnded, that is the sellers if you don't buy, why do you thnk they ask for it. If they had to just give it back, there is no need to ask for one.

    If you give them money to hold a car for you, and then don't buy the car, they get the money. This is just standard business. You should have asked or found out before you gave them the money
