Just placed my deposit - YES! #5

Also wanted to pass on my dealer experience and search. I called almost all Socal delaers from San Diego to The San Fernando Valley and also out to Riverside. I got many "we won't sell at MSRP" and many replies that is was too early to take deposits. I also found quite a few with lists from a dozen to 20+. Of course many folks do drop off those lists as the months wear on and especially right at the end. Finally I got spot #5 for MSRP with $1k (refundable anytime) down. The spot and price are, perhaps obvisouly, in writting. If anyone is serious I will pass along the name of the dealer and sales manager who was pleasant and responsive. Spot #6 is probably available now! Let the painful, but exciting wait begin. I'm praying for a sighting at the Detroit auto show.

Do you mind sharing what you received in writing? I want to make sure when I put a deposit down I get the same gurantees.

Depsit amount is up to dealer and buyer. And like everything in life, it's negotiable.

I placed mine a year ago at #9 in Portland, but may be a higher volume dealer. I would never agree to above MSRP. There are plenty of dealers who are not greedy.

It is pretty simple though, you should have a couple of basics in WRITTING and signed by a sales manager. Price of the car, MSRP is common, I wouldn't pay a penny more; Spot on allocation list; amount paid; refundable - yes/no. That should cover it.
