yeah i do it all the time, it may sound unethical but its true. Putting a deposit on a car is just a way of locking you in on the sale. on the reciept it will say non refundable and normally will give u 7 days to pay the rest. but if you put that money down and someone comes in 20 mins later with the cash its sold... then the seller will call u back and tell u there is something wrong with the car and you can come back and get ur deposit money. kinda sucks but that's life...
Typically, no a felon cannot sell a car at a dealership in California. Unless, of course, they are the outright owner of the car in which they are trying to sell to the dealership, (and have all the paperwork to prove this true) OR they are under an employment agreement with the dealership, and it is their job to sell cars at the dealership.
no
yes because you don't have to pay for the car. But if the dealership does not want to buy it you can't sell it to them
Sell it.
no
Laws differ from state, to state.
Yes

In theory no, in practice yes. This is done all the time. You want a certain car and they do not have it in stock. The call around and find the car you want at another dealer. They sell you the car and go get it from the other dealer.
Yes
as seller
You should look into trading your car to a nice used car dealership. A good used car dealership will take what your old car is worth and put it towards your new car.
