It sounds like the entire situation was handled poorly by the dealership. The dealer should have promptly refunded your deposit or cut you a company check for the amount when requested. If asked for a deposit it may always be a good idea to use a personal check or a credit card, at least you have some options in the event you want to back out of a purchase. I think most people will agree that the entire car purchase experience leaves a lot to be desired (with the exception of maybe Saturn). markorton@my-dejanews.com wrote: > > In article <36A5DFF2.B9240CF2@hotmail.com>, > photo703 <photo703@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Advice to El Don: Continue you personal slander attacks against Fairfax > > Honda employees, it will really help build your case with the Better > > Business Bureau. > > It's not slander if it's true. > > > I purchased a 98 Accord in September 98 from the Fairfax Honda...no > > problems and I received an excellent deal.
