When I bought mine, they didn't have the color combo I wanted in stock. They picked it up from another dealer about 40 miles away and drove it back.
I negotiated the price and put a deposit down. When the car came in a few days later, I went back to check it out, did a test drive and then signed all the paperwork.
Don't feel obligated to buy a car from anyone. If it doesn't feel right, walk away.
I made the mistake of buying a forester xt after a horrible dealer experience. I was actually in fear of being physically assaulted by the manager. He was roided out and screaming at me pounding his fists on the table like a lunatic. My wife was pregnant at the time and got very upset and we left. Stupid me actually went back and bought the car, but it was the only one around I could find at the time and it was still almost a 2 hour drive away.
