I personally don't see the questionable sales tactic or possible bait and switch. LD's has a high turnover in units and if you want to assure that the unit you are interested in is still available you will need to put a hold deposit until you do/don't make the deal. Are you sure he did not mention that if you are interested in this particular you would have to put the deposit down to hold it to otherwise risk the chance of traveling from New Mexico to Florida only find out the unit was gone? That is actually a pretty standard practice that I have run into at other dealers.
I personally put a 500 deposit on a MH with LD's several years ago but after not being able to agree on a deal, my money was refunded. Two years later put another deposit to hold a unit, that was also being looked at by two other couples, then took a couple of days to inspect with the knowledge that my deposit had bought me some time.
Now as for as him not having pictures I would guess the unit had not arrived yet, which happens quite oftern but he should have explained that.
Remember that salesman is in competition with the other salesmen at LD's the quicker he gets a deposit and hold the better chance he has of making the sale.
