I do not give anyone a deposit for any reason, refundable or not. If they cannot wait until I am ready or they will not order without a deposit, I move on. All a non-refundable deposit tells me is the company does not have sufficient working capital or they have problems with customers cancelling a sale, which usually means the customer was not happy.
If I were the dealer it would tell me you are not serious about buying the unit. If you are special ordering a unit some type of deposit is in order.Why would the dealer allow you to increase there inventory or spend there capital as customer seems fit. You actually believe the dealer should special order a 50K unit on a handshake?
