It would have at least secured you for one of the early allocations of the car.

Plus if you didn't like the car, you always have an exit-plan on the contract:
Subject to finance(to your PERSONAL BANK, *not* a third party)
Subject to test drive.
Subject to satisfactory pricing for the customer.
Subject to your SO. lol

FWIW I put down a deposit for both 86($1k) and BRZ($5k). Am glad I got one of the early ones too :P
People make up all sorts of reasons/excuses to justify and defend. First its LOL you put money on something you don't know the price of, now when they can't get it they will say LOL I'll get next years with all the kinks worked out, then when it will be LOL i'll get the next gen with more power than you.

In reality a lot of people like to talk but never intend to really commit, which is why a lot of aftermarket companies are hesitant to produce parts for certain cars and why we should embrace the boom surrounding the new 86.
