ok, i want to go in and order a tc, but i have a quick question:
when i go into order it, does the dealer take your down payment and trade *then* or do you have to wait until the car comes in?

 

You'll put a deposit on the car, but nothing else will be done until the car comes in (down, trade, financing, etc).

 

thanks. and how much is the deposit? would it vary by dealer?

 

Usually varies, but expect to put $500 down.

 

Unless they are able to do a dealer trade (which was what they did for me). Then yes, you do all the paperwork before you get the car. I turned in my trade-in and they gave me a loaner xA to drive for 3 days until my car came in.

 

My deposit was only $300. They usually do $500, but they let me put down only $300. Yeah, trade and everything will be taken in when the car is delivered. They will evaluate your trade before hand though to give a value.

 

My guys wouldn't even look at my car, cuz as they said...we could give you a value, but say you get into an accident, that value will change, so we won't quote it until the car is in and we're ready to deal.

So, unfortunately, I just had to HOPE big time, that my car could give me something. I would ask the dealer how they go about it. The one where you'll be ordering your car.

Oh, and btw, I put down $500 for mine.
