I mentioned this in another thread already:

"If the dealer refuses to refund your deposit you simply call your credit card company and have them do a charge back (no delivery of goods, price not agreeable, charge slip not signed - this is the big one, regular merchant agreements FORBID keying in a credit card without taking a manual imprint of the card at the same time, a store can lose it's merchant account if they get caught doing this [as an aside, if they are setup for a virtual terminal/web orders they can accept credit cards over the phone legally])."
