I have been in the automotive business for over 23 years, 20 years of that time in management. The credit card bit is nothing but a gimmick that any legit dealer won't try in today's market place. I just bought a new Gray Wolf last year and the dealer held it a month in the winter time till I could get my trailer out of storage due to quite a bit of snow. They never asked for a dimes deposit. Many years ago dealers would do that in order to prove that you weren't wasting there time. There are way to many dealers out there that will welcome your business and not ask for a deposit until you make a deal and that is to secure the unit till you pick it up. I work in a major GM dealership in the Midwest and we NEVER ask for a deposit until time to secure the vehicle in a dealer trade, order unit or to hold it for a few days till they can pick it up.
