We had been negotiating a car and came to what we thought was a good deal and were ready to buy. However, the color combination wasn’t what my wife wanted, so she tried to get a different one, but nothing was available. They had some due in, but being the last day of the month, they wanted us to come in and give our full down payment ($9000) plus fully sign the contract for the car with a rough estimate of when it would be in.

We found this unreasonable to expect us to “buy” the car on the last day of the month and not pick it up for several weeks, so we said no and walked.

Anyone else ever hear of this or think it sounds as unreasonable as we felt it sounded?
