Re: Can i still get my deposit back from the car dealership.

Hello and Happy New Year. Whether

you can legally rescind or cancel

the contract will depend largely on

the language of the contract. However, from your posting it appears

as if this jeep was specially ordered by you. Even though this is the case, you should write the dealer and explain that your financial situation will not allow you to buy the jeep now and request the return of your money. If the dealer says no, I suggests you contact the Office of the Illinois Attorney General (Consumer Fraud Division). I hope my response has been helpful. I will be happy to discuss this matter with you further and in more detail.
