I prefer a deposit as it helps keep dealers honest. I had tried to by a car that was already ordered. Dealer and I agreed on 1k over invoice and got a piece of paper with our signature on it with no deposit. Some one came in after me but before the car arrived and agreed to msrp. Guess who got the car? Dear told me if I put a deposit it would have been mine but no deposit doesn't hold a vehicle.

$5,000 nonrefundable deposit. I would have driven to another dealer, no matter how far. That is ridiculous!

If not they have you by the balls and can demand some crazy markup - you literally have zero negotiating power. See that you have a 2014 SS. Definitely wouldn't try to trade it in. They could try to screw you over there as well.

The deposit for a car thing is nuts to me. GM used to frown on dealers taking deposits. Maybe all you saying refundable is the dealers loophole. It's not like you ordered a red car with yellow interior...

I'd rather put down a deposit with a receipt to hold something rather than a verbal agreement. It gurantees that it's mine.

Thanks laborsmith. When I went into my dealer on 10/28, he ordered it on Workbench and gave me a printout that was TRE. He said if you want this Camaro call me back and I'll order it for you. I called him back an hour later and pulled the trigger. Maybe then he changed it to SRE. I going to call Ken tomorrow.

The first dealer I spoke to wanted 20% NONREFUNDABLE up front, he said he had been burned in the past by people ordering and not taking the vehicle. I immediately ceased communication with him. Second dealer wanted $1000 refundable, I said that's fair and I traded in my car as the deposit which was much more than the $1000 deposit.
