or can u just put $1000 down and have them order it and then when it arrives u can pay in full??? Cause my dealership told me that they dont have a TC to test drive, that i can order one and test drive it and if i dont like it i dont need to buy it...but im makin sure that i dont haveta finance the car until i get my tc???

Most dealerships, if not all, are asking for a deposit either to order or hold a tC. I deposited $500, some are 250, 1000; they differ per dealership. You do NOT have to finance until the car comes in and you make a final decision whether or not to buy it.

Yup, all we need is a deposit.

Deposit only. That is, unless your credit sucks so bad that the dealer doesn't believe you can pay for it once it does come in. They don't want to take a car off the market for other customers in cases like this.

These cars will sell so the dealer is unlikely to ask for a credit check. All you need is a deposit with the amount varying by dealer. The two dealers I went to in my area wanted $200 and $500, both refundable.

Here's what other people said and what they put down...

Yep, $500 deposit for me....of course, this should probably just be in the other thread...

so NO is your answer.
