Legal Assistance with Car Purchase - 500 Euro Back

Questioner

I wanted an option on a car (used) they asked me to pay 500 euros or more in advance, I paid 500 euros in advance but I still want to cancel this purchase, am I entitled to my money back, I did not sign an agreement and they want 20% cancellation costs, what right do I have?

Dear questioner, If you really only took an option, you are entitled to a refund of the money. If there is an agreement (even if it is verbal), you may owe cancellation costs. By the way, does one want to keep 20% of the deposit or 20% of the purchase price?
