The salesman told you that he couldn't take a deposit or hold the car for you. I don't think he did anything wrong. It's just an unfortunate situation when demand is so much greater than supply- people always think it's BS when someone tells them not to wait on a deal, but for the2010 Prius it is true.

The person who has the car now paid for it before you did, fortunately for them it's simply first come first served. Saying "I'm leaving my house" and "I'm at the bank" means as much to the dealer as 'The check is in the mail'. You have no right to the car until you hand over the money and sign the contract.

The sales manager said they would honor the deal you made, you'll just have to wait. If you don't want the next car to be bought out from under you, you should put down a deposit.

Well you said it before I could. That is what I was reading from your story. So sorry for you, I remember as a child my father trying to make car deals in the L.A. area and I'd swear the same sharks are still there.
Yes C4C ends Monday and true that the car could have been ordered but I don't think there are any dealers willing to do that as they are still waiting for payments from the Gov. that is overloaded.

Wishing you better luck next time.


Enjoy as Always!
