yeh, and whats the point of leaving a deposit if your just going to get it back? may as well not leave one at all and just wait til you can bring a cheque for the full amount of the car
like alternate said im also turning away potential buyers, keeping the deposit makes up for the loss of those possible sales.

oh also ive prolly now lost my deposit as i left a deposit on a forrester, i havent asked for it back and i probably wont coz i know ive possibly cost this guy potential sales as well, id feel like an asshole asking for it back, kinda makes me wonder the nerve of this guy asking for his back.
