He is going to bring his deposit sometime this week at MSRP. I wish I was that 1st guy on the list but I am buying a house, so you know how that is. I also have a 68 Camaro I need to sink some money into and finish. For now I will have to wait.

If your customers are told the truth about the Camaro and its release date and are given the ability to agree on a price, then i don't see any problem with it. The beef is with these dealers that are taking deposits from people with no guarantees on anything more than a chance to buy one of the first Camaros. If a dealer is charging people a grand deposit just to get their name on a list, then that is just wrong, but it sounds like your dealership isn't doing it this way.
