I am amazed at how little people actually know about the car industry. It is one of the easiest industries to study/learn about and one of the most scrutinized yet so many people like you figure they already know everything about how to buy cars and how dealers work and how dealers SHOULD work.
You don't see Future shop or most retail outlets putting up with your haggling skills. Most people are just happy to pay the 50 - 100% margins they collect.
I think people use car-buying as an excuse to go on a power trip and act like someone they're not.
The biggest thing a deposit does to any deal is that it separates the buyers from those who just can't commit.

because nothing in Future Shop costs $25,000. you can't compare buying a vehicle to paying for something at retail, they're different processes
