[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t imagine a dealer not holding a car for you for 2-3 days if you give them a deposit. Also, not returning the deposit sounds almost criminal. If you are new to dealing with used car salesmen ask your step dad to help out. [/quote]

Think of it from teh dealers' side -- if anyone can come in, leave a $1k refundable deposit,and now the dealer can't sell that car to someone who walks in an hour later ready to do a deal, then people could abuse it. Find cars they like at 3 different places, and put refundable deposits on each. THe deposit is meaningless then.[/quote]

OP HERE:
Thank you to everyone on here who has responded thus far.
It appears that even though the miles are low, buying an eleven-yr. old car would be a huge risk.
I am seriously reconsidering my purchase thank goodness‼️

I did offer the dealer a non-refundable deposit vs. financing, but looking at it the next day I do not think this would be such a wise move after all.
And yes - if the dealer gets a cut of the financing then I can see why the car salesman pressured me to finance.
However I do not want to go that route.
I prefer paying in cash because I want to avoid the hassle of time filling out paperwork, waiting around, verifying my info, more waiting….and so forth. 😬🙄[/quote]
