Q: Can you explain 715.02.
Does statue 715.02 say a seller can not use a vehicle deposit for tow losses or other, from spot delivering a vehicle when financing fell through and or the seller failed to give a written receipt for the deposit?
Also if a Auto Sales office requests the return of a car, how much notice should they have given me and what is its FL statue?
Also if a auto sales contract states to carry insurance and you become 2 days late, dealer calls and says to reinstate, you do so that day but the dealer tows the car 4 days later when the reinstatement was current. Did he have a right to tow it and charge me $450 for towing and the tow company another $300 for storage when the car was not even there 12 hours?
A:
Florida Statute 715.02 has nothing to do with deposits made on purchases of motor vehicles; it pertains to real property (i.e.: land & buildings).
When you reinstated your insurance, did you immediately notify the dealership?
