Contracts

I went to Michigan and put a deposit on an RV yesterday. After running an Auto check there is a period of about six years unaccounted as to the whereabouts of the vehicle of 5-6 years. The RV shows massive rust underneath. The engine was told be 'probably 300 hp or more' and upon VIN check, am told it is 275 hp based on the letter in the 10th character of the VIN. I put a $500 deposit but now can't find peace in purchasing the vehicle. The dealer said the deposit was non-refundable. It is less than 24 hours since giving the deposit. If I demand the deposit back should it be given? I signed nothing except my check. If I simply put a stop payment on the check, am I within my rights? Thank you.

I placed an order from a major electrical distributor for a long lead item. The item was 4 months delayed and didn't meet the attended specifications as ordered. Because of the magnitude of my project $ 6.3 million the owner terminated my contract. Since losing the project we under-covered documentation that the item was not built by the intending factory because it was in the process of selling the line to another company. This information was never disclosed. We continually asked for update on the gear and was continually told 8 times that it was going to be sent. Currently, my corporation was forced to file BK and also has filed a lawsuit against the Distributor, Intended Factory and the actual factory who manufactured the product. The Distributor continues to indicated they are protected by UCC in California. Can their behavior void the contract. This has been a very difficult situation. I am small women owned contractor who had all of my investment properties used a collateral on the job and has lost all.

I am a independent distributor and we had a recient price increse along with new HHC are questions are not being answered and the priceing that they said we were to get is all messed up and keeping me from serviceing my route. the said in are contract we can go to arbitration. How do I go about this?
