I forgot to mention, if it is determined that the dealership was at fault, by court decree and pauldz paid with a credit card. You could use that court decree to force the credit card company to do a charge back so easy peassy collection. :-) Or if you are really ticked off, and the dealership won't pay you back, have the sheriff put a lock on their door until they pay you. That would hurt them more in business than actually paying the $1800. This should also protect you from collections for the chargeback as long as you have a court order.

Florida law may be different and may have more or less restrictions on evidence rules in small claims, or have tighter or looser restrictions on compensatory damages, etc. Always check with free or paid legal services about your legal exposure and procedures as described above. There should be attorneys that will allow you to have a free consultation and give you a better picture of the pros and cons of legal action. Also even if you do we in small claims, you will still need to find a way to collect what they owe you. Make sure you speak to an attorney about this too.
