I dunno, sounds pretty simple to me. Thirty days to pay the deposit, it wasn't paid, deal is off.
Right!.... Until the shoe is on the other foot !!!

Now you are going to nitpick everyones responses!?! Change the word deposit to PAID IN FULL and you get what they MEANT!!!
Just a question, if I were to come to your dealership and give you a deposit to hold a car and I'd bring you the balance in 30 days... 30 days comes and goes and I don't put up... what would you do?!

So, "X" days later show us a bank statement that confirms the funds as available and I will personally talk to Jim and have him give you the extra time. Oh, wait, you can't do that as you are "waiting on the funds...." 
Jamo, please block me from posting, this is WAY too easy and I've been a BAD boy.

As an ex "unofficial" cobra (mustang,corvette,MGB,TR6, camaro,to name a few) trader I have to say that I am amazed that you are complaining about a deal gone sour, especially since you are the one who did not follow the deal as set forth by your own negotiations. Every deal I've ever brokered pretty much states that if you do not come up with the funds over a set period of time, you lose your deposit. That is done to weed out the wannabe owners from those who will follow through in the time period alloted. My time is valuable and is not to be wasted, as is the time and effort it takes to find a buyer for a particular car (bike, boat, house, commercial warehouse, etc and so forth), hence the deposit then covers my wasted time should a buyer back out of a deal because "the dog ate his money". In this case it sounds like JBo was quite patient with you, especially when you were the one to approach him on the potential sale of his car to you (or your brother)....Of course if you had told him you were a dealer/broker, I'm sure he would have told you to have all funds up front, as any real dealer would have his financing in order before making an offer on a car, if not, then that dealer/broker must not have his act together. Once again. I do hope you figure things out one way or the other, but coming on to a public forum as you did and trying to drag someone through the mud (metaphorically speaking) without telling the whole story seems to be a bit dastardly and certainly not the right way to handle things. You being from Australia has nothing to do with it, different time zone has nothing to do with it, you breaking your word and not following through in the time you yourself agreed to has all to do with it.
Sorry if my post is tough to read, I do have a tendency to ramble a bit but you will get my meaning as it does appear you are a smart man........

ONLY ONE QUESTION ,ONLY ONE ANSWER REQUIRED,,, WOULD YOU HAVE CANCELLED THE DEAL THE NEXT DAY. OR TRIED TO WORK OUT A MUTUAL OUT COME (BALANCE OF MONEY) IN A WEEK OR TWO. ok 2 questions.
i am not a car dealer, i love cars (COBRA #1), and have owned 200 cars in my life 90% sold for less than i paid. thats why i am a WATCH dealer. 99.99 % sold for more than i paid.

Well I guess that negates my original view of you.
If the deal was broken because you did not follow through, and I did not NEED the money, I'd walk away from it and either take the car off the market, or go find a real buyer with the funds in hand.
Enough said.

Remember, you are the one who approached him as a buyer for a car that was never listed for sale in the first place. JBo negotiated the terms and conditions in good faith with you. Both legally and morally it's your fault that the deal went south. Again it has nothing to do with being a dictator, you failed to close on time and you lost your deposit because of it. Make threats to take him to court, but you will lose because you did not follow through in the timely manner in which you agreed to. Can't type it up any clearer than this. I know you feel it's unfair, but you have been in business long enough to know it right up front when you set the wheels in motion.
