Or they're trying to see what kind of ADM you can afford when the car comes in.Current credit pull is irrelevant and useless. If the car takes six months to come in your credit could tank for all they know. And even if it didnt they will need to pull it again to check when the car comes in. Credit should only get pulled the day/week you sign. Two hard hits makes no sense.
Edit: just saw youre using a credit union. NO credit pull ever by the dealer then. Theyre trying to get you to finance with them to get more kick backs.
