I put down 1k as well. To be quite honest most of the dealers I went to on the 13th had no clue and wanted nothing to do with me. By the 14th at approximately 9:30 am I had priority one and a placed order with my 6 digit confirmation. The moral of my story is I was just happy enough to be priority number 1 with that 6 digit number and a 2010 camaro @ MSRP. So the 1k deposit was well worth it to me.
