I didn't see any mention of a written agreement or a deposit. Therefore, I don't see any foul here. It's all just talk until it is put in writing or money exchanges hands.

john,
 
if what he says is true then he got a screw-job by the dealer.

Even that doesn't guarantee anything. We had an 03 Dodge Ram 3500 sold out from under us back in July. We had financing approved and a $500 deposit on the truck. Just had to get down to pick it up since it was 300 miles away. Didn't find out about it being sold until we got there. So deposits really mean nothing when it comes right down to it.

New/Used Car search engine by rhsbob

Years ago I used a search engine on the Edmunds site to choose a car. By specifying horsepower, transmission, other option sI was able to determine that the Maxima was the best car for me. Later on I used the same search engine to isolate my pathfinder from other SUVs.
 
Anyone know if a search engine like this -- one that lets you specify equipment, HP, price, etc -- still exists?
 
thanks

Well, I HAD put the "customary" $100 down... A letter from my attorney got that back within 7 days. There is no logical reason that I would have continued to do business with such an unethical (stereotypical) car salesman after that!
Like I said, do your homework beforehand - check around for the dealers' reputations. Do not deal with the unethical ones!
