No, the car dealer cannot do this. Once a good or service has been offered for a price, and a client has agreed to pay that price a contract of sale is created, and any changes to the contract make it automatically void unless agreed by both parties. Additionally, upon the point of a deposit being given, the vendor should have made sure that the customer is aware of the price. If you want to look this up for yourself, search for 'Offer and Acceptance' in contract law. My advice would be to get your deposit back, and if this is difficult, threaten legal action as this should scare them sufficiently, especially as they are not conducting their business properly. Good luck!

Can the auto dealer refuse to return deposit of car if they fail to get the car you want?

I tried to purchase a car from dealer A because they offered the best price, but the car was actually in deal B's inventory. Dealer A promised me they would get the car for me so I paid the deposit $4000 to them.Now a week has passed, dealer A told me that they have contacted deal B several times, but dealer B still refused to give the car to them. Furthermore, dealer B found me and offered price match, and said even if I don't buy it from them, they will never send the car to deal A. So in order to get the car I like, I will have to purchase it from dealer B.Since dealer A have failed to fulfill their promise on getting the car, I think the fault is on them. In addition, I paid the deposit in credit card, leaving a way for future dispute.My question is, how to ask dealer A to cancel the purchase and get my deposit back? Any suggestions?

Do larger volume car dealerships sell cars for lower markups than lower volume dealers?

The more units a dealer sells the less markup he can accept and still make a profit. As to if, the dealer sells cars for less markup depends on the dealer. Theoretically they can, but realistically they may not. All depends on the dealer, and the competition in that market area. I would say you should get a better deal at a large dealership, but at least give a smaller dealer a chance at your business. You might be surprised at the price the small dealer will accept. Bottom line is to shop around, and do your research.

What is an agent who buys and sells securities from inventory called?

An agent who buys and sells securities to and from his inventory is called a broker-dealer, although in this specific situation it should be called only a dealer. It is called broker-dealer because all the dealers, entities that keep their own inventory, also frequently act as middlemen between the seller and the buyer. When they act only as brokers, they make money on commissions and not price movements of the securities. As dealers, they mostly make money on price differences.
