Thanks for the insight Scott.
My original delivery was mid to late February, early March at the latest. In yesterday's email, he said the week of March 2nd.
It seems logical that the price would be locked when the order was placed, but the automobile business is obviously different in ways. They are allowing me to back out of the commitment, which of course makes sense.
The paperwork I signed shows the actual price we agreed on, which is $500 over invoice. They want to know if I'm okay with the new price, and I assume that will make my deposit non-refundable again. This will make it difficult to refuse the car after delivery.
The main thing I'm wondering at this point, is did they actually place the order when I gave them the deposit? Or did they wait to group it with a larger order, and the price increased? Is it fair for them to pass this added cost on to me, or should they eat it?
Thanks!
