We're only getting one red and it's getting the most attention.

If you're serious, I'd put down a deposit if I were you. I sell 90% of these out of this store, I know what to expect.

How do you guys/girls interpret what he said???
He's full of ish. No doubt about it. If the car is such a shoe-in for quick MSRP sale why is he asking for a deposit. He's leaving money on the table. Somebody with deeper pockets could potentially walk in when they're rolling the car off the truck and offer $35k on the spot. He knows that won't happen though and by getting a deposit now you're essentially agreeing to pay a set upon price (MSRP).

I'm in sales. You can't bull$hit a bull$hitter. Trust me on this. That sounds to me like a desperate salesmen trying desperately to not sound desperate. LOL. Get another quote from another dealer. Don't imply any urgency whatsoever on your part. Make them work and let them try to create the sense of urgency if they choose to go down that path.

Here's another tip. Always buy a car on the last 3 days of the month. The dealerships, the sales managers and the sales reps all have monthly budgets. They're taught to never walk away from a sale they can make today because tomorrow isn't promised. At month end they'll bend over backwards to make a deal. Just don't convery the impression that the Evo is "THE CAR FOR YOU" and the time to buy it is "NOW". Walk in there as if this is your first day of car shopping and you're looking to make a decision sometime before summer. Good luck and thanks for serving.
