Sorry, name is misleading I actually live in North Dakota. Either way, yes he said the 5k was refundable but I honestly couldnt care less if its refundable or not if I cant put that money down in the first place. I would much rather put say, 1000 down and have it non refundable, as I am very serious about getting this car. I am going to visit with the salesman again and see if we can negotiate something different. I need to convince them that Im dead serious about the car, because I am. I contacted another dealer about 100 miles away and they would take $500 as a deposit, only catch is they have their RS marked up a fair amount higher than my local dealer.....
Ill keep you posted on what I find. Thanks guys for the input, and hopefully I will be joining the RS community in the near future if this works out!
