Never had to pay any deposit. Placed the order for what I want, and signed lease paper work a week before delivery.

i paid a refundable $2000 deposit on my m3...

but for my 328 sedan that i had to before i paid no deposit whatsoever.. i think it really depends on how easy the car would sell if the buyer changed his mind bout it.

I paid $500 and my CA told me that it was non-refundable because not many people buy cars equipped with manual transmissions off the lot which I thought was reasonable but things couldn't have worked out better for me.

my deposit was refunded !

I deposited 3000 for 328i in BMW of Orlando park and when I canceled the order the CA was really helpful; he gave me a complete refund . I did a good research on pricing and they(BMW of Orlando park) gave me better deal , so I'm ordering 335 soon! So what's your status now? Did you order the car with knauz?

i am doing some intel gathering with each of the dealerships right now. I am still waiting to receive my driver license before i place the order. I am Canadian studying in Illinois, so it is a bit complicated to get the driver license and SSN.

its pretty well loaded, but nothing out of norm. i am thinking of getting at least $1000 over invoice with the dealership at chicago.

do you guys think i should ask for more?

how much is the sales tax on luxury vehicles at Illinois btw? i just moved from vancouver to here last year.
sales tax depends on the county you live in ; if you live in downtown you have to pay around 9%(8.25+ city tax) ! Dupage 7.25 ,
