No, to me that is not normal practice. All dealers I've ever inquired about ordering from never question me about my finances prior to ordering. If they ever did then they are probably judging you based on your appearance. Worst case scenario is having to put a deposit down. But other than that, sounds to me like I'd take my business elsewhere if they can treat a potential customer as someone who can't afford a car for no legitimate reason unless they're that determined to have proof of income.
Just sounds like it takes the excitement out of the ordering and customer experience imo. Fortunately, my dealer is reputable in customer service satisfaction so ordering from them doesn't begin with the hassle of proving anything beforehand. They placed my order without a deposit and trust I will not back out or will have finances secured when the vehicle is ready to be taken for delivery.
