I put a down payment on a car, can I get it back?

Question

I'm only 20 and yes kind of stupid because I put a down payment on a car of $1000. The dealer told me to so they could hold it for me. Anyways I found the dealership to be a bunch of a-holes and I found a better deal on the car. Will I be able to get my money back? It was paid on a card and the receipt does not say refundable or non refundable. But since it does not say non refundable that is a good thing right? I live in Illinois if that makes a difference?

Answer 1

Call credit card company and dispute payment.

Answer 2

you should get all your money back.

Answer 3

Did you sign anything when you put the money down?  If you did, read the fine print.  After reading the fine print, call the dealership and ask them to cancel the transaction.  If they won't It may be possible to contact your credit card company and dispute the $1,000. and have them refund the money.  But....Do this ASAP
