Exactly. I'm paying full sticker. Not sure why they're still trying to make extra money off me. First they want 3k over sticker because they got other customers to pay 8-10k (pat yourself on the back) then tier one elite apr is 3.99% which is a lie and now my deposit isn't being applied to my purchase??? This guy has been stressing me out for no reason. Needless to say that I don't trust them. Just give me the car and go try to rip someone else off.

I second that, you've already paid funds towards the full purchase price, they should credit that to you're purchase price and you owe the remainder. It's not rocket science!

I know which is why this entire process has been infuriating. This is what he emails me "please refresh my memory, the deposit you gave me was on a credit card right? I need to know so I can have a check made and mailed out to you." I'm sure as hell he wouldn't forget if I DIDN'T give him one. He wanted my debit card for deposit- umm no.

Honestly, I would press the sales guy on this and not back down. They should be crediting it directly back to your credit card and not via a mailed check.

In fact, my CA was clear in pointing out that my deposit was refundable, but I would need to provide the credit card in person for them to do the credit back.

My deposit was also nonrefundable. Someone ordered this car then backed out- not sure how that means it's nonrefundable to me. Because this car won't sell if I don't buy it right? All those crazy options the M2 has. I'm going to pick up the car in a few hours. We'll see if I end up flipping his desk over.

Yeah I think that's some bullshit - it should be a line item on the overall invoice, with an exact amount reduction in what you owe.

I would escalate the issue within the dealership internally...there's no way they've got that right.

Oh I would be calling CITIBANK right now.

They should definitely apply your deposit to the sale.

Ask for the general manager when you arrive.

Keep calm and get your car !
