Deposit/Documentation Question
I just put a deposit down on an 06 5AT w/Nav (DGP--don't hate me for the color) at $28,371 + $45 doc fee + $5 (CA tire fee) + TTL. All of this has been via email and over the phone as the dealer is out of my area. She did give me the VIN, though.
My question is what documentation should I have her fax me to ensure that the car and price will be honored when it arrives (Late Dec/Early Jan)? I just want to make sure I use the correct terminolgy. Any advice?

Which dealership did you order it from? I would think an email is sufficient, but maybe somebody else can answer that. As for the car I bought, I spent a week hunting the CGP w/ Navi down and finally found one in Torrance. I was glad the internet manager gave me the price all the other dealerships we're offering. I didn't want to put down a deposit for a promise... c'mon we're in So Cal, there are plenty of Acuras to check.

I dealt with Mission Viejo Acura. No one in the San Diego area would come close to their price. Some quotes were just laughable. I would write them and tell them so, but I don't want to burn any bridges after some people reported problems on deals that were promised (see bradyxp's posts).

xingu, you have it in writing. And if the dealer doesn't honor the deal, like what happened with bradykp, you'll just have to take measures to enforce the deal or go somewhere else.

Hey, bradykp, I never said your deal was laughable. I was referring to other dealers in my area (San Diego). They were asking more than $1,500 over invoice when Mission Viejo was offering just $500 over invoice (+ $45 doc fee). That's what was laughable. Do they really think we don't comparison shop? Thanks for the other advice.
