Daytona Toyota rip off on 'good faith holding check' - they cash it anyway - supposed to be for holding only, not cashing Daytona, Florida

   There is no such thing as a check written "just for holding".     You wrote a worthless check?  Why would a worthless piece of paper hold a car for you?

   You're lucky that they didn't turn it over to the local D.A.  Writing bogus checks is against the law and you can be prosecuted for it.   While we're at it, post dated checks are also valid on the day they are written.    You appear to have a lot to learn about how checks work.

" dishonesty prevails after you make a 'good faith check' JUST TO <"HOLD"> a car for you ... (it was not a down payment or deposit )  "

   You've got a lot of gall to talk about dishonesty.   Good faith would imply that you are not trying to pass a bogus check.   Any check that you write that has no funds in the account to back it, is by definition a phony check, written in bad faith.   You're a real piece of work.

His word was as good as his check. They lied, your check was no good. A marriage made in Heaven.

Do you honestly think giving someone a check they can't cash will take a vehicle off the market? A non cashable check is a worthless piece of paper. You can call it whatever you want but what you gave them was a refundable deposit. If some one asks you for a check assume they are going to cash it. If some one else came in later that day to buy the car you seriously couldn't expect them to send away a paying customer without some real commitment from you.
