Remember, the OP is looking at a used trade in that has not been delivered to LD yet. I think LD was telling the OP that his deposit put him first in line. IF the unit, when it came in was to his satisfaction, he had the FIRST right to purchase. If he did not like the unit, he got his deposit back. NO DEPOSIT, then he takes his chances that another purchaser puts a deposit in or beats him to the purchase. CarMax does NOT take deposits on their used cars. To get the car you have found, you must purchase it. Think about it for 1 hour, someone else may purchase it. CarMax will refund your total amount if you do not like the Car after purchasing. But, they do NOT take deposits. Car dealers still do a version of Bait and Switch, but do it the legal way. They advertise a bare bones Auto with NO AC or options, knowing that almost nobody will purchase it, then upsell you to a more expensive model. They usually have 2 of those models, because SOMEONE will buy at the LOW price, and they have a back up when it does sell. REAL Bait and Switch is when they have NO Cars at that advertised price and cannot produce the Invoice or Stock number to prove they did have one. Remember, when you see those ads, you will see the Stock number mentioned and also that they only have 1 or 2 at that price. Doug
