I went to see a used car and I loved it at first site. It seemed to work nice, and the test drive was perfect. I decided I wanted the car so we settled on the price. I decided to pay half while I was there and then pay the rest when they cleaned it (since they haven’t done that yet). Then I agreed to come back and get it, then pay the rest for the car. Something compelled me to look at the car fax (report) on the car. And I saw a lot of red flags, I was wondering if i could get the rest of my payment back. The car isn’t in my possession yet?Please don’t judge me it was my first time lol.

Yes as they have to clean the car anyways, however the salesman wants to sell you a car(as commission is his wages) so won't mind if you decide to buy a different car on their lot as the salesman still makes his buck. If you want to go elsewhere, then they will complain but life is full of changes. You have not taken delivery on the car yet so they have to undo the paperwork....you can string them a line like "I am under investigation for stealing cars from car lots with fake money" Maybe THAT IS TO OBVIOUS? You can lie your way out of it if you try. They lied their way into selling you the car (it is not lying if they just don't inform you about anything)
Mommy won't let me have it; the money is for college. or My ex is seeking "child support" and has gotten that OK from the judge. That means I can't afford a car right now.
Or some lie you can imagine to I got the carfax on this car and it is a PoS.
Please don't make any decisions because on a carfax report. They are often incorrect.
You will have to review the contract you signed to determine if you are able to back-out of the deal.
The worst thing you did was not get it checked by a mechanic first. If the car comes with a short term warranty, make sure you get the mechanic to check it asap
You should never put more then $100 down on a car deal. You're about to find out if you're dealing with a fair used car salesman or a shrewd lowlife POS.
Read the sales contract. But do not believe so much on carfax reports. If the car test drove fine, the car might be ok. I drove a used car with 11 red flags for over 100k miles.
Read your contract. If it says the deposit is 'nonrefundable', you maybe in trouble. This is something for your local lawyer to look at, not Yahoo Answers.
