Buying X5 but salesman refuse to take credit card deposit

[o2happpy]

I went to a dealership and found the X5 that I wanted but it was at another dealership. Salesman told me he can get the car in his dealership in 3 days. Everything was going fine except when I had to leave a deposit. I wanted to leave a credit card deposit and when I gave him my credit card he left and then came back and said that the sale manager cant do a credit card deposit. I would need cash or debit card. Thing is he should have known before he took my credit card. I told him I dont want to use my debit card, since it seems strange that he cant charge my credit card. So I left there not leaving a deposit. And salesman was fine about me not leaving a deposit. When I got home I call another BMW dealership saying if I wanted a car, would I be able to leave a credit card deposit? Saleman said no problem. Anyone had a problem like this before. Let me know cause it seems strange why I couldn't use my card, and his explanation was just that they cant use it.
