It totally depends on which country you are from.

Check the Terms and Conditions of the contract, which you should have done BEFORE you signed it. Some dealers will not refund a deposit or down payment.

Depends on the laws in your state. Go to your state attorney general on the web and look for a 'consumer' or 'consumer protection' link.

How can you get help with a downpayment when your credit score is 600 or lower?

What do you need the downpayment for? If it's for a mortgage on a house, then most states/counties have downpayment assistance for people. Search for it on Google, or I guess you can look it up in the yellow pages. If you want to search for it put "downpayment assistance" (with the quotations) in the search box and then put the name of your city, and press search. Then go back and try it with your county name. They have a lot of programs out there.


Is it possible for the dealer to back out of a contract once you signed it and drove off the lot with dealer plate?

The dealer should be legally bound by the contract which the two of you entered into , a mutual agreement , unless there is an "escape clause" that the dealer can exercise as an option in the contract ; you would best consult an attorney regarding this matter .


What can you do if you made a down payment on a car but after a week the dealer told you there was a lien on the car and could he be getting a better deal and what are your options?

I believe you can get your down-payment back if you do not have the car. But, if the dealer is doing that to sell the car after you have made a downpayment (depending on what the contract/receipt states) then you mave have legal options against the dealer. Some lawyers have free consults. I would contact a lawyer for free consultation before getting my down-payment back because the dealer may have breached a prior agreement/contract, whether verbally or written. State laws may differ.


Do you get your partial downpayment back if you have to return the car due to not being able to come up with the rest of the downpayment?

That would depend upon the lending terms in the purchase contract, and in some US states the consumer law relating to the matter


Car you return a new car after a purchase?

You can of course return it but the dealer can refuse to take it back and in 99.9% of the time would refuse. After all the car is now a used car and cannot be sold as a new car any longer. The cooling off period law does not apply to the purchase of a vehicle new or used.
