Question about ordering

BMoney · 11-08-2006, 10:35 AM

I'm about to place an order for a 335i and was wonder what dealers are requiring for a deposit? The first dealer I went to said 5% which sounds high to me. I was thinking more along the lines of $500 to $1000.

I paid $1000 that was completely refundable if I didnt want the car. Upon delivery it went towards the down payment.

My dealer asked for $1000.

I told my CA "I'm 24 and don't have an extra $1000 just sitting around." They took $500.

$500, refundable

Same here....but other dealers have been known to accept as low as $500.

$1000.00, refundable.

tommithy · 11-08-2006, 11:51 AM

$1000 refundable for me too.

JW28 · 11-08-2006, 12:22 PM

$1,000 refundable here as well.

mrahp23 · 11-08-2006, 12:32 PM

$1000 refundable.

IrvRobinson · 11-08-2006, 02:59 PM

Try for 500, unconditionally refundable and use a credit card

BMoney · 11-08-2006, 05:32 PM

They want me to put down like $2200 non-refundable. I told them to take a hike! Time to shop elsewhere.

they asked me for 500 refundable i just put ahead 1 bc I figured Im going to be paying it later anyway

John 070 · 11-08-2006, 08:44 PM

They asked me for 50,000. Then when I get the car, they give me a 5,300 credit, which I can use for BMW accessories. What a strange arrangement....

Just kidding, $1000 refundable.

sflgator · 11-08-2006, 10:46 PM

$500 refundable as long as I didn't order any wacky comobos i.e. phoenex mettalic yellow with red interior or some crap like that
