It sounds like the entire situation was handled poorly by the
dealership.  The dealer should have promptly refunded your deposit or
cut you a company check for the amount when requested.  If asked for a
deposit it may always be a good idea to use a personal check or a credit
card, at least you have some options in the event you want to back out
of a purchase.

I think most people will agree that the entire car purchase experience
leaves a lot to be desired (with the exception of maybe Saturn).
