Whoa! That's shady!

Has he deposited your check or money order?

I'd try to back out of of the deal if there is any way possible.

Please tell me you had a PPI done to the car already before you put the deposit down?

I'm not one for vengeful ways but this is just too easy to get him back;

-Get your deposit back

-Take his phone number and post it in the local 'casual encounters' section of Craigslist along with posting his shady way of taking a deposit so every other potential buyer knows the crap he could pull.

Good luck! Keep us updated.
