Ordering a 2005

When you order a car, some dealers request a show of "good faith" or a deposit, this should be between $500-$1000, and all it does is show that you are serious about the car. You can negotiate the price of the car at the time you order it, should be pretty close to invoice if you shop around. After the price has been settled upon, the dealer may ask for a "good faith" deposit, just to show that you are serious. This IS refundable, but make sure you have the sales manager sign the negotiated price as well as stating the deposit is refundable. You are not obligated to purchase the vehicle at any time, and even upon delivery, you can walk away for whatever reason.

hope this helps, if it's not clear let me know
