2020 Kia Stinger — seller asks for a deposit before showing the car

I'd treat this like cash with a paper trail. A rushed deposit before you can inspect the 2020 Kia Stinger is enough reason to walk. I'd do that before spending real money. On “seller asks for a deposit before showing,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the sequence I'd use. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
