On a side note, the salesman I am dealing with, though very nice knows nothing about Z's, makes me feel even more uncomfortable...
Don't do it. You'll have to: 1. wait for car to arrive 2. battle either the credit card company and/or the dealership for your deposit refund 3. deal with a salesman who doesn't know anything about his product (WTF?)

When I was shopping for a Z, I had left a deposit (more than $500) at a dealer in the city so that they could bring one in from Jersey. Two weeks later, with no car, no word and no money, I just went to a Jersey dealer myself and picked up the car for less than MSRP; the first dealer couldn't negotiate on the pricing because they would be bringing it in from another dealer. Getting the refund took about another two weeks of dealing with the credit card company.

If it doesn't feel right, then it probably isn't...
