Need advice with a possible deal

[janegowest]

There is a dealership that has two locations. One is 2 hours from us and the other is 5 hours away. I thought I was calling the one closer to us, but accidentally called the one farther away.

They had a 5er that I was interested in, so I wound up talking with that salesman anyway. He offered to have it delivered to the location closer to us, if we could agree on a price and put down a refundable deposit.

I said I would talk it over with my DH and let him know tomorrow. Then, I got to thinkin'... How can I agree on a price on a unit that I had not even seen, except in the photos? That does not make sense to me. Is this something that is commonly done? Agree on a price to have it moved to another location?

What's the name of the dealership?
Maybe another forum member will share their experience with the dealer..

No, I would not agree on a price without viewing/inspecting, and the agreed on price including anything I wanted changed/fixed. I would be wondering about a refundable deposit, which may mean if you buy a different trailer from us.

NEVER EVER put money down on anything till you inspect it. if they want to bring it closer to you ,thats great , but don,t commit to a price. and remember the golden rule, never ever beleave what a sales person tells you.

If it ain't in writing it doesn't exist

So I would have to have an E-mail at minimum that states 'No Obligation and ALL monies for deposit are refundable if no sale'

Is this a new 5er? If so as a retired RV sales guy I did it a lot. You have right of refusal upon your inspection and best of all it is a refundable deposit!
