I have the number ONE spot from my dealer since I had put down my deposit of $1000 a long long time ago ... I don't have anything in writing but I've kept in contact a couple of times and my sales rep always looks and sais my name is at the top ... Should I get some sort of written statement assuring me of the spot ...
also, what is the dealers say in a situation where someone is willing to take over my spot for a premium ... is it at my discretion or the dealers? ... Can I just call and say scratch my name off and put Johnny X in that spot? ... or do they say sorry #2 is now #1 ... ??? If they don't seem receptive to such a scenerio is it common practice to give the sales person a kick-back per say to avoid getting management involved or does changing names on a list go through a ladder of signatures?
INFO greatly appreciated,
Dario

You can do anything you want if you're the Godfather.
Normally, you have to buy the car under your name, then have the real buyer do a change of title. Yes, that means the buyer need a private contract from you to make sure you don't run away with the money. Most dealers don't like their salemen doing under the table dealings.

In addition to your allocation number i would definitely get a written statement of price. IE MSRP or MSRP +/- X. Also make sure your check is cashed, The transfer of money makes the contract binding in most states.
