Keep looking, I had the same problem as you until I found a dealer that didn’t require any amount of money just to order. Those stealerships that require a deposit amount are just money gougers.
I’m gonna have to switch dealers then. I called them to clarify and they said they’re doing that just to make sure I get a spot for a reservation. Their excuse was, if they didn’t do the $1k refundable deposit then everyone would just be putting down orders. So dumb.
