I recently got a car from kids auto/cnac and am still paying on the down payment. i knew on the 17th i was not going to have the entire $400 owed on the down so i called and spoke to a salesman who helped us and was told to just bring what i had was important. i took $250.00 and owed $150.00. the next day heidi(manager) told me this was not acceptable, they didnt take partial payments and if if didnt have the $150.00 I would have to bring the car back and park it until i did.

i asked for my money order back and said "well if im without a car then give my money back and i'll just pay it all at once." she told me the same day the money order was processed and was not able to give my money back, yet, they don't accept partial payments. my first payment is not due until the second week of august and cannot understand why then i am not entitled to my down payment monies minus less what mileage i have used.

they threaten me with repos on a car that the 1st payment towards the prinicipal is not due. they are unwilling to wait unitl the 30th of july. now reading all the bad practices they follow , can i get my money back and if they want the car back before the 1st payment is even due, isnt the deal null and void to be financed.
any help is appreciated

The deal is null!

Technically, this isn't a repo situation because the car isn't yours until the down payment is fully paid. They were doing you a "favor" letting you use it in the meantime, so it is within their rights to want it back.

Insist on getting ALL of your money back. You do not want to consummate this deal. It is worth paying a lawyer a couple of hundred dollars to write a few letters in order to get away from JD/CNAC at this stage.
