Deposit to order a car
I'm about ready to order my 330 and I sent a list of the options I would like to the dealer. I asked him what I would need to bring for a deposit and he said $5,000! I intend to lease the car and put $2,000 down. Has anyone been requested to leave such a large deposit? I've seen $500 and $1,000 mentioned by people but not $5,000.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I replied back to the salesman that I would happily leave the $2,000 I plan to put down on the lease as the deposit. If he won't accept that there are two other BMW dealers in the city here.

Geeez what dealer is this? $5K for a deposit?? :mad:
Even $2K is too much, this is not a good sign. I'd bail on this dealership fast.

mine asked for 1,000. I gave my VISA. They never charge it ...
I don't like the 5,000 story. fdc

i left 500 bucks.. and i ordered a "weird" car...
leatherette, with a whole bunch of options... so IF i backed out, it probably would have been harder for them to get rid of.

I went to the dealership this past weekend to finally order my car. We go through all of the formalities and evetually get to the price. I have a ton of options and even added the alarm, tinting, and having them chrome the sport wheels. The total came to over $53,000 (I told you I added a lot of options). I then offer $49,000 and the salesman tries to tell me that they don't negotiate on custom-order cars. It was getting close to dinner time so I said that I had to leave because I was getting hungry and I'm sure my wife was wondering where I was. Suddenly he got the urge to go talk to the Sales Manager about their policy of not negotiating on custom-order cars. I really was hungry and told him just to e-mail me his offer. He later countered with $51,8xx. We're still going back and forth.
