Bad Situation....

So I went to a car dealership to look at a Mitsubishi Eclipse I'm interested in. I took it for a test drive and was convinced to put down a deposit for the price they were giving it to me for. I asked if I could get a refund if it falls through (they don't offer financing, full cash only). They said yes and go back and forth telling me "congrats on your car!". "I'm like dafuq?" I signed a purchase contract that stated a deposit is non-refundable yet the dealer told me I could if worse comes to worse. Even the manager came up to me and said if need be, we can refund it. Bad situation. Am I SOL?

Do you want the car or not?
If you weren't 100% sure, you should not have put a deposit/down payment down.
Car salesmen are total liars. The last car I bought, the salesman told me the 100k power train warrantee for their car is awesome because it covers the entire engine (unlike most car companies)
You signed the purchase contract, and gave them money. You are pretty much commited now.
Might as well finish the transaction.
Did you at least use invisible ink on one of your signatures or imply with the secret handshake and doing the silly walk around the parking lot that you are one of these rare birds that needs to sign a minimum of 10 times to accumulate sufficient acumen to generate a binding agreement?
Yeah, you don't put money down unless you are 100% certain you want it.
Not 50%
Not 90%
100% - yes, I want this car.
