Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
if a I sell my used "as is" car in california and the buyer agrees to purchase it "as is" and a wittnessed virbal agreement was made and the buyer leaves me a deposit til the next day when he will return with the rest of the money, then returns the next day and decides to back out of the deal (again after a whitnessed virbal agreement regarding "as is" condition and purchase, was made ) am I required to return the deposit money?

Since the buyer does not raise any issues as to it, that is it being sold as is does not seem to matter. Unlike land, cars are not unique so you could not force him to buy the car. As the buyer breached the contrtact, you are entitled to recover your losses, which would be the difference in prices between what you eventually sell it for and what the initial buyer offered to buy it for, plus additional advertising, perhaps your time if you could prove how much that is worth.
