Yes I thought the deposit was high as well. Have confirmed that's the going rate at this dealer, not just a special price for myself as I opted out of all upsells. They were trying to hard sell dealer undercoating. I'm fine with the deposit as long as the car actually comes in a somewhat timely fashion. And if I decide at some point to buy something else or get tired of waiting I'm not really worried about that money sitting there doing nothing for me. My only concern really is if they somehow become insolvent and I lose my money. Unlikely I think but I don't have access to their financials, so my comfort level is based on......nothing. Lol.
My other local dealer as mentioned is a $500 deposit but the total price is $1100 more due to them not budging on their upsells. .
Last real sports car was a 350z. Then I got a 2015 Mazda 3gt sedan which never felt like much of a sporty car to me and was written off about a year ago due to a deer. I replaced that short term with a 2010civic coupe which I just sold after getting the 2022 taco. So currently my wife and I are sharing the Tacoma and a 09crv until hopefully a new gr86 arrives. Then I'll sell off the crv. Have a few other vehicles as well, motorcycles/full size pickups that don't get daily driven.
My wife has been super excited about the taco so I have been daily driving the crv quite a bit. A fine automobile if you don't care about automobiles. Tacoma is a manual and the crv is an auto, rarely ever own or choose to drive a auto myself.
Serious first world problem having to wait for a sports car. But I appreciate the input/thoughts anyways.
