Isn't that the whole point of a deposit? Like you're giving a person money to represent the fact that you will in fact buy the car no matter what unless said car is not what was described in sales negotiation, etc. Or is it different between private sellers and dealerships?
Even if you are buying a car privately the deposit is not binding. Like I said I put 5 deposits down to buy this car, only bought it ONCE and one dealer. Got all my other deposits back.

We agree to disagree.

If I write the receipt for your "deposit" as an "option to buy" for a fixed timeframe you will not see a refund from me if you choose not to exercise the option.

Car Info: I've had cars...BRZ next
AWESOME!!!! Such help couldn't be more welcome at this time. This thread has not only helped my plight in so many ways but also to re-link with the past.

I want the STi version and between now and then (whenever the STi comes) I think my wife may soften in her rejection of the BRZ. I told the dealer I'd like to change the order and the answer was, not at this time. This is also the second date I have been told the car would be there...will it really be there? I am preparing.

I acknowledge the deposit may be lost, but the sale is still not binding.

They (the dealer) would have an argument with you if they car was there but they don't have it there so they have no leg to stand on. And even if you signed a agreeing to buy based on deposit it's CA so it wouldn't mean **** without you having the keys in your hand.
And if a dealer wanted to fight you on it it would do more harm then good for $1000. They would get way more bad press trying to fight it. There's already a lack of good subie dealers in the bay.

im a sales as well. dealerships ask for deposit its really just make sure you are serious lol even if you sign the paper and walk out the door and change your mind in the last min before taking your car home, you can still say no to the car, and dealership can't do anything about it. that is why dealers tries everything to tell you TAKE THE CAR HOME TODAY! once the car drive off the lot, its YOURS!

deposit use it properly is to hold the car that is very high on demand, or in this case ordering the car. so once the car get to the dealer, you will have the first dip getting the car. if you decided you didnt like it, just take your deposit back, and the dealer wouldn't care at all, because they will sell it right away if the car is high on demand, unless you order a yellow or red one lol
