Don't overreact
It doesn't matter what this guy tells you; it matters what the price is. Of course a salesman is going to test people and see what happens. I was told the same thing and I simply said, "I could probably do that."
A few dealers later the dealer called and said that "... he had a meeting with the owner and decided to sell me the car at MSRP."
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of non-serious buyers are wasting a lot of dealer time so some pre-screens are legit.
I am putting my $5k deposit down this morning. I'm paying a premium, like anyone who buys one of only 3000 cars made in a year, but I'm not paying over sticker and neither should you.
