Seller being a complete ass.

Seller being a complete ass.
I drove three and a half hours and spent 80 bucks on gas to put down a 2,000 dollar deposit on a MINT 2001 Spa with OEM hardtop, all the documents for all it's history, OEM car cover, hard top stand, 5zigen wheels, stock ap1 wheels and even that shitty soft top cover that everyone seems to hate. He agree'd to go down to 17,850 and said if I gave a deposit of 2,000 that he'd hold the car for a week, so I went to the bank, rushed everything and I'm just waiting on the answer today or tomorrow and he emails me back after I tell him the dealership he's selling the car through is only giving me until Tuesday and he finally emails me back after 3 days telling me that he has someone paying full asking price(18,900) and that he said I can have the full week before he was offered full asking price. I think this is complete bullshit. Then he goes on in the email saying how he needs to get back to helping that customer and that I have until tomorrow at 3:00pm. He's trying to get me to back out now.
I just wanted to rant a little bit, but if I have proof he gave me a week, is he allowed to just change his mind after someone else offers? Isn't the whole point of putting a deposit to have the car held, regardless of other offers.

Is this a private seller or a dealership? If it's a dealership, did you get paperwork signed, etc for the deposit? That's your only arguing point. If it's a private seller, it sounds like you're out of luck though. They'll go with whoever will give them the most money since the only paperwork is signing the title and bill of sale. Easy to swap buyers at the last minute.

I don't have it written down on the document that I have a week. I have an email from the seller(not dealer) saying I have a full week if I gave a 2,000 deposit instead of 1,000. But now that someone offered him the full 18,900, he's telling me I only have until tomorrow at 3:00pm

Next--have the financing completed before you make a deposit.

Sounds like a scam if the seller is a private party and selling through a dealership. The dealership, even if it's a consignment type of place should be handling all of the aspects of the sale in order to make their commission. Just my .2
