I decided to back out of my order for a CT4-V BW because after mulling it over, I'd actually like to go for the CT5-V BW. Salesman stated my deposit is refundable throughout the whole process.
I email yesterday about backing out, salesman says nobody else has ordered in my spec and because the car is in production, he wants to wait until he sells it to somebody else to refund my deposit.
Is this common practice? Not sure, haven't worked with GM dealers before. I've definitely gotten my deposit refunded immediately everywhere else I've been (that had the policy of refundable deposits). My best guess is that as long as he has my deposit on it, no other salesman can sell the car I built, and that's the real reason he wants to hold it.
If it's not common practice, I am considering burning bridges by writing a bad review on google, as this "refundable deposit" policy was not shared with me at any point in the process. It was overall very smooth and easy to go through, so I was considering ordering the CT5-V BW with them, but now I'm having second thoughts.
