Did you get your car? A few points. 1, paying up front was just sales man’s way of you not backing out of the deal, ie, not a trustworthy person. 2, You can order your new car with in 3 months of the end of your contract the dealer can take the order earlier but can’t order the vehicle outside of the 3 months. 3, If the car is pulled of the scheme usually they still honour the deal unless they stop making that car. Hope all went well.
