I need all the luck I can get! F's on the east coast are ridiculously hard to find. I've seen TWO F's in person in my whole life... one in my town 3 years ago @ a car wash.. and one yesterday at the NYC Jacob Javits car show

Since 3-year leases are ending soon, should I wait until there's more selection, or work with the good deals I've seen?
The matador red is awesome plus when you wash it with all the right products you can see the paint really pop. Just my two cents

OK, so I think you guys were right regarding the "refundable deposit". I spoke to a few dealers and they want a deposit, before I see the car. But what is the guarantee that I will get my money back if the car sells, or if I decline to buy the car?

Pay your deposit with a Credit card and have it written that its Non Refundable...Dealers will not screw you over deposit, if they attempt...you can call your credit card company for dispute.

Salil, that's a great idea. You mean have it written that it's refundable?
