"REPUTABLE dealers?" Those terms are mutually exclusive.

So far, so good apparently. Sounds like you did OK.

Dealers could still provide PDI, parts, accessories and service. They would save tons of money on floor plan, advertising and, by reducing the number of liars (salesmen) on staff, salaries/benefits.

Another great example of why I'd rather have a sister in a whorehouse than a brother who's a car salesman.

Irrelevant. A security deposit paid to a landlord is very different from paying a deposit to a dealer for the purchase a new vehicle.

Gotta have it. Gotta have it NOW!!!

What???? You don't say! There are actually TWO nice car dealers in the United States. You're so lucky!!!

Yeah, sooner or later, somebody would probably be interested in buying it. It was very nice of the dealer to forego the deposit. He was really trying to help you out. Gotta love 'em, those car dealers.

The OP mentioned $500 as a deposit amount. At an annual interest rate of 3.30% , that amounts to $16.50 per year. Divide that by 12 months and your losing $1.38 per month in interest. I don't claim to be a math wiz, so please let me know if I didn't calculate this correctly. So, it costs $1.38...

Jenny is referring to Gary Yeomans Ford - Daytona Beach, home of the infamous "damaged in transit" Maverick.

Look, we're all friends here, right? If the OP will post his name and address, we can all contribute to his legal fund. I pledge the first $1.00. When he wins the class action lawsuit, we all will be raking in the cash. Why didn't somebody think of this sooner? BTW, the term "reputable lawyer"...

If he's buying the truck from a dealer in PA and he lives in FL, how is that dealer going to have a title or registration? Someone correct me if I am wrong, but it's my understanding that the dealer will provide the manufacturer's statement of origin, which would be used to register the truck...

Today, a license plate. Tomorrow, world peace.

An acquisition fee pertains to a lease. I suggest that you go to the dealership and verify exactly what you are paying for. You need a buyers order signed by a manager or owner, not something the salesman verbally agreed to.

The plot thickens... This very issue would drive me into the depths of despair. Woe is me!

I would also be concerned about "mandatory" dealer add-ons such as nitrogen in the tires, tint, protective finishes, locking lug nuts, blinking brake lights, etc. The finance guy is likely to hit you up for all sorts of things. Also, there's the fake "doc" fee which is pure profit. Maybe you...

I think there is a 12 step program for orange addiction.

Weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth... 1. Can you not take the license plate from another vehicle you own and use it until you complete the registration process. In my state, as long as the license plate is registered to your name and address, it can be transferred to a new vehicle. I...

I have a question. What is incomitance?
