Deposit amount?

///M Boss · 06-29-2008, 06:45 PM

This is my first time buying a brand new car and i have no idea what dealerships are charging for a deposit. Edmonton BMW charged me 2500, all my friends tell me that it was a lot for a deposit and usually its 500 . How much did you guys have to deposit to get your 1

$1K deposit

If you are financing, then it's around $20 for every thousand you put down FYI

0 here..... I brought it up, the CA just never once bothered with it...

I am planning to put 5k as a down payment on my credit card though...

Bringinthewolf · 06-30-2008, 01:21 PM

$2000 for a custom order back in January.

ridsama · 06-30-2008, 01:25 PM

$5000 on VISA, max amount they told me they would take on credit cards, which later I found out about the VISA merchant policies that is not true, they can't place a limit on how much they charge on your VISA...

the1andony · 06-30-2008, 02:05 PM

2500

desmat · 06-30-2008, 03:15 PM

500$

1Ronnie · 06-30-2008, 03:31 PM

2000 for me as well. I don't think this is too odd for Canada.

Yeah I hate when they limit you but figure even 5k on your Visa cost them $85 at 1.7%.

I wanted to pay for my girlfriends Yaris ($19,200) on my American Express but they limited me to $5,000 as well... the rest had to be cheque.

I'm thinking I'm going to order a 135 this week. It's a custom order through Gallery BMW...they want $2K down which I thought was reasonable.

10,000.......my whole life savings!
