As some of you know I think I bought a Jeep Wrangler. Some background, last Thursday I found a 1999 Sport with 66k miles that needs a battery and new soft top. We agreed on $XXXX and I gave them a check for $200 for a deposit and they wrote up a receipt stating I gave them a $200 deposit on a 1999 Jeep, vin#xxxx..... and a balance of $XXXX is due when I pick it up when they get the title and then they signed it.
This evening I receive an email from them saying they cannot sell it to me because their brother came up to visit and needs a car so they are going to give it to him and he is going to drive it back to where he lives and they asked if mailing my deposit check was fine and sorry for any problems.
I replied back stating that we have entered a contract and that I would like to proceed with the transaction as planned.
My question is can they just get out of it that easy or do I have any recourse it they don't hold up to their end?
I noticed that they still have the ad up for it so I think they might have gotten a better offer. Any opinions on what I should do?
