u/Either-Suit-1722

Hi! Located in West Michigan and put a deposit on a 2026 Crown Signia XLE - oxygen white paint and tan interior. The estimated OTD price is 49,297. They said any negotiation comes after once the car gets to the dealership. Is this common or was negotiation supposed to happen prior to deposit? This is my first time purchasing a car from a dealer and it seems like toyota Rav 4 and the CS XLE are all getting reserved with deposits so I jumped the gun and did it.

Also any tips to negotiate would be appreciated! Thank you.
