What is everyone's opinion on this?

A dealer I had contacted called me today and informed me they were allocated 5 and I was the first person they've contacted about it (ie- I'm #1 on their list).

Obviously someone would jump on it if I passed it up. They are asking only sticker price, no more. And $1000 down.

My next week or two are going to be pretty busy (GM chose a bad time to start ordering for me) so I inquired if it could be done over the phone. He said yes, took all my info and what I wanted to order (SS2, Silver Ice Metallic, Black Leather, RS Package, Auto, Sunroof) and told me I could mail a check for the $1000.

I confirmed (verbally) the options and that the price was the same as what I came up with (using the info online) and he said that he had the same price in front of him ($37,275).

After the deposit is received he said he could mail, or eMail, me confirmation (unless I can get to the dealership soon).

Since I haven't mailed the check yet I can still back out (though I'm not planning on it). It would probably make the dealer angry, but at least I wouldn't have to go through trying to get my $1000 back.

I know some people were talking about ordering from CamaroScotty and having the car shipped to their local dealer. I assume that would have been the same as over the phone?

Just want to make sure I didn't make a horrendous mistake before I send the deposit.
