Legal Question in Business Law in Massachusetts

Used Automobile
In October, 1998, I put a $500 deposit on a used car. One week later, I told the person I didn't want the car anymore. He said that when he sold the car I can get my money back. On January 14th, 2000, I spoke with him because I brought my vehicle in to his shop for repair. He has a lot full of used cars for sale. At that time, I asked if he had sold the car. He said he had. I asked if I could get my money back. He said that he couldn't give all of it back because of costs he had incurred for keeping the car on his lot, and that he bought the car from a dealer and sold it for only $100 more than he paid for it. I would just like to know if he can legally hold back any money. I believe that I should get the full $500 back. Can you fill me in on the law?

Re: Used Automobile

I believe that a phone call from a lawyer will get you all the money back.

Still, I'd like to see what you signed when you gave him the $500, if anything.
