Better do some research on that vehicle before committing to anything. Not a good plan.

Don't put down a deposit until you're ready to buy! Doing so, in some jurisdictions, could lock you into the purchase, whether you like it or not! My Sister lost $500 when she learned that lesson the hard way and to add insult to injury she lost again in small claims court! But she learned her lesson, the hard way, and never did that again!!
