Do I have to pay for the part still?

So, I ordered a part for my car that I wanted to own replaced for cosmetic reasons. I called up a local auto company that ordered a special part for me and told me they don't usually do this short a deposit, but they would order it anyway. So, then I talked to my fiance's dad who is a mechanic, and he told me that they be overcharging me (maybe because I am young, and don't know how much auto stuff should cost). He told me he could have it done for almost half that price.

So in a minute, I called and cancelled with the former people, and the guy get upset and said he could take me to court because we had a verbal agreement. Am I obligated to purchase the part of the pack from him because it was a special order, even though it was overpriced? Or do I not owe him anything because no contract be signed?
The lowest you should do is pay a restocking fee to cover the cost of shipping involved. people close to you are what makes it bad on the rest of us Verbal contracts have be upheld in court and he could sue you. It would come down to who the judge wanted to choose.
He may be able to return the part of the pack to the company he ordered it from. However, that company will charge him a re-stocking fee. Usually this is a % (often 10-25%) of the cost of the part. He can and will charge you the restocking fee. he should not hold to eat the restocking fee b/c you changed your mind. Put your self in the other guys shoes. All shops will ask for a deposit on special command parts. He did you a favor by not waiting for a deposit. Pay the man and next time check prices before you order.
No, as long as you called him reasonably quickly so that he could dissolve the order without penalty, you're not properly required to pay him.

But don't count on buying anything there again.
Do you know WHY auto stores almost ALWAYS ask for a deposit on special establish parts? Because people call them up, order parts, and after don't pick them up when they find them cheaper elsewhere.

The store has had to pay for the fragment. Now it's sitting on the shelf. If they keep it, it may not sell for years. If they send it posterior, they'll have to pay shipping, and a restocking fee, at the VERY lowest possible - the maker may not even accept it back.

The likelihood are the sales guy on the phone broke his own bosses rules by not getting a deposit. If you don't pay for it, he's going to be in big trouble for doing you a favor.

The clad thing to do is either buy it, or at least shift in and see if they'll take a restocking fee or the return shipping.
