Here is the updated situation here in Vancouver, Canada.

Last night, I already had deposited $1,000 at dealer 1. From the beginning dealer 1 said they would give me a better deal than dealer 2. However, they played around with the numbers and tricked me in forgetting about freight and pdi. So today, I go into talk to my dealer 1 salesman and asked for a on par or better deal than dealer 2. The salesman says, "no, that would put us at a loss so we would just refund you the deposit".

After making me wait for another 30 minutes or so (him doing nothing but chatting and walking around, thinking we are stupid), he comes back and says, the general manager who signed it isn't here and isn't picking up his phone. So, preventing us from signing with dealer 2, he says, wait until tomorrow and the general manager will call me.

We ask for some kind of assurance that we will get a deposit back but he says that is up to the GM and won't agree (even though he would refund it in his office).

In this case, will I get the $1,000 deposit back? What is everyone's experience in this case? I would have liked to go to dealer 2 and signed today as they only have one left that I want. Now...it seems like dealer 1 is just playing a time game with me and making me wait for another few days.

Please give suggestions.

Thanks!
