If you go the new car route, DO NOT give a deposit to the dealer untill the car you want to buy is on the lot and in front of you. I gave a deposit to a dealer to bring in a car. First they brought in a color that was completely unacceptable, which we had previously made very clear to the salesman. Then they said they could get the correct one in 3 days, then another week, then there was a "paper work" problem so it would be a few more days. Another week went by and so on. Ended up buying a different brand as the vehicle we were looking for could not be found at any dealer from NY to Maine. We were royally getting jerked around by the original dealership. The fight is still on for the money... it started last July. Other dealers didn't take a deposit or guaranteed we could get the money back no questions asked even up to delivery. If a dealer requires a non-refundable deposit, go somewhere else.
