Nick, back in early 2011 when I found a dealer in Alabama for my Laguna seca, he and I had a verbal agreement for sticker, he wouldn't draw up an agreement or even take a deposit. Of course I was nervous, but I went with it.
A few Months later when the vin and build date was assigned, he called me, asked if I still wanted the car, still for sticker, and I said yes. only at this point did he take a deposit over the phone from my credit card, and draw up a purchase agreement that he overnighted to me for me to sign and send back to him.
A few weeks later the car was built, and a few weeks later courtesy delivery to my dealer here in Mass.
It was one of the most honest, smooth transactions Ive ever done for buying a car.
