How much y'all putting down for deposit

[Lee358]

ZERO - THEY'RE NOT ******* SELLING a CHEVY VEGA here! If you don't buy it - They'll make one call and sell it anyway - They're just trying to **** you over. Period. Find another dealer!

How is putting down a $1500 deposit getting ****** over?

^^^ What @RaptorScrew said. Anyone who puts 'money down' is being fleeced. Honest dealers don't need extra money right now. The one's that are demanding it - run away!!!

Let me clarify - A credit pull and a hand shake should be sufficient. When the rig comes in if you don't pick it up within a specified time, I'll sell it!

If you order something off the wall, then maybe a REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT within reason... but, shit, it'll sell anyway, I wouldn't worry as a dealer of a Raptor sale...

I put a $1,000 down, and am totally ok with that.

I have a problem with the NON-REFUNDABLE part. Maybe I may have missed part of the thread...

I'm cool with 100% refundable deposits but a NON-REFUNDABLE is BS in my opinion.

I've ordered many specialty built vehicles and have NEVER put down a deposit. What are you putting a deposit on when it comes to a Raptor? Just another Raptor being built. Shouldn't require a deposit. Now, if you could order some crazy color, then I'd understand a small deposit. But these things sell immediately when they hit the lot. That deposit is just paying off dealer's loans for their new showrooms......

I'm at roughly $500 over invoice on my order, and roughly 500+ miles away. As a business owner myself ~ whether I knew I could resell or not, I'd still require a deposit.

These people don't know me, have never met me, and know me simply by a name and phone number. Ordering the options just the way I want, does carry some risk, albeit small for the dealer. With that said $2500 might be a bit high for some, but I felt it was fair on both ends. And again, its not a "non refundable"

Awesome ... You should win a gold medal! Telling someone they are getting fleeced for simply putting money where there mouth is, is a bit misguided. Just because your experience is different than others, doesn't mean we're getting fleeced.

If we want to take this farther .... $2,500 averaged out over what ... the next 3 months in a decent 3 fund portfolio will garner you roughly $14.50/month @ a safe 7% assuming the markets are good to ya. I get 2% back on my CC that I used for deposit ... I got $50 back from that transaction, and would have "made" $45 of that same time span having that cash sit in a 3 fund portfolio.

I actually made an extra $5 bucks

Exact words the dealer told me (minus Vega thing) no deposit for me.

Um... Good for you! If you need help patting yourself on the back for that awesome savings - let a family member know...

Another one for zero down. Dealer told me that he will sell for more should I not take it.

Yeah, had to go back unlike that last ******* comment. Money managers have always pissed me off with their snobbish logic. Good luck with your purchase and enjoy the new truck.
