Got put on a second list today. First place put deposit down 4th in line.
Went in to have one of my cars serviced at a dealership I have called a few times requesting to put a deposit down. They have denied me every time I have called. So, went out on the showroom and a salesman came up to me asking if he could help. I asked him if I could put a deposit down on the upcoming Supra and he said they were not taking deposits. So I asked him if he could ask his supervisor/manager and went with him. He immediately shot me down as well saying they would not take a deposit as they do not know when they are getting them.
So I said, "That's funny, because "insert other dealer I have deposit in at" is taking deposits right now on them without knowing either and it isn't a big deal".
He shot a look at me and said again he was not sure when they were getting them or the colors immediately available and told him that was fine that I didn't care just wanted to be on the list to have first pick. He told the salesman to get me a credit app and we filled it out and he took my deposit so I am first on the list there now. Be persistent! Lol.
Should note - I am employed through Toyota so I have a special purchase program that limits any and all mark-up. Get @ dealer cost plus some other things.
