Took a deposit on the saxo last tuesday, bloke said he would pick it up monday and would call at the weekend to confirm a time. Weekend went and no call, tried calling him yesterday and have left 2 answerphone messages and still not herd from him Had to turn other people away aswell which is dam annoying; am i rite to refuse the return of his deposit of he should get in contact and its fair to sell the car again As looks like i may loose my Type R because of this

take his cash..sell the car to the next person!

sell the car elsewhere but keep the deposit and see what the fella has to say when he calls... if he is understanding about it all and asks for the deposit then give it him back... no one has lost out etc.
if he is an arse about it then just keep the cash

Yeh main problem is i have left a deposit on the Type r so am in a situation where i may loose that.
I had someone to call back if it did fall through but have missed a number on her phone number which is just bloody great

If it is a reasonable sized deposit then chances are there is a good reason why he's not called you, if it's just pennies then he probably isnt arsed about his deposit.
Sell the car to someone else if he doesn't get back to your first but be prepared to refund his deposit if he has a valid and good excuse.
Common sense really...

£80 is pretty much pocket money tbh given the value of the car... I'd of made sure a deposit of atleast 10% of total value was paid up before holding it...
if nothing by wednesday, then I'd just let it go to someone else, £80 isnt worth holding on for ages if you know of someone who can pay up right away!
as for not refunding the deposit, i'm not sure about that one... was anything written up/signed stating the deposit was non returnable? still have legal rights regardless if its a private sale
