Trader non-refundable deposit query?
So I found this car - it was a great example of the vehicle, with a seemingly decent history (HPI check etc) and generally all seemed kosher. So I placed a deposit, signed a little slip of paper saying the deposit was non-refundable and went the day after to buy the car with a friend. As we were going to lay down the money…
