$3000 is a lot to risk losing if the car is totaled.
no doubt. check with your insurance company on pay out options. they might be able to help with that. I am guessing that with any dealership, all the terms are negotiable to a point. So maybe it could have been changed.
When I went with my lease search, I sent out queries to 9 dealerships. Actually only wanted to send out 3 but went thru an employee purchase site to submit my proposals and I was not able to pick dealers. they picked 3 based on the zip code entered. So it took me a while to figure out how to get a proposal to the dealer I wanted who was 83 miles away. During all this time I was hitting the back button thinking I was starting over but as some as I typed my target zip code in, the request for a discount code was sent. Needless to say, my inbox was pretty busy that morning. But my request stated I would be doing business only if 90% of the negotiating could be done electronically and for zero down.
out of the 9, only one responded initially with my request and that is where I went.
