When i got my last car three and a half years ago i was told by the dealer that i would have to pay £2350 before they would order the car,mobility told me its up to the dealer they can ask for full or part payment any time they want i had visited bmw before they wanted £500 before they ordered.
I recently ordered a x1 and they asked me for a deposit and as they gave me £500 off the AP i just gave them £600 came to £1100 off the £2300 ap times are a changing and not fot the better.
