how much down to special order?

[PsyRN]

how much did you have to put down to special order? one of the local dealerships mentioned that they require 10% non-refundable deposit for a special order + some special shipping fees as opposed to buying something already on the lot. that seemed a bit steep and somewhat unreasonable to pay extra fees. the salesperson was pretty young, and seemed a bit inexperienced in selling cars so he might not have all his facts in order. this was just in casual conversation on the lot, and I didn't dig deeper since all I wanted to do was test drive one.

My dealer required 1000 down as a refundable deposit. If when it comes I wanted I could take it back. Seems a little silly it's definitely going towards the $ down. But being told 10% non refundable the salesman probably just isn't all that familiar with the process but if that was the policy I'd go elsewhere.

I handed over $100 to place my order.

Mine was $500 ... I saw everything from $250 to $2000. I would be leery of a dealer wanting 10% deposit plus some other fees.

Non-refundable $500 for Tri-City. Ilderton Dodge/Jeep in High Point (closer) wanted $1000 at MSRP.

9 weeks is in the threshold of 8-12 so thats great

Mine was $500 nonrefundable.

Mine was refundable but put it towards down payment.

Not JT, but for my JLU I put down a $500 refundable deposit which went towards my down payment when the Jeep came in. Either your salesman is inexperienced or trying to pull a fast one. I'd go somewhere else.

I only had to put down a $100 deposit that was then added to the down payment.
