npggirl Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Hey all... I am ordering my 2008 Ford Edge in about 5 weeks... For those of you that already ordered, what did you have to put down at time of order? I assume the payments do not start until the edge comes in,but what did you have to put down at time of order? I want to make sure I am totally ready. Thanks for any help!!! :elefant: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Glad for you. Each dealership has their own expectations when ordering a vehicle for a retail customer. Some may not require a deposit and others may want as much as $500. If it is a stange order combination, they might require more. Before your vehicle gets in you should check alternate financing just to make sure you are getting the best interest rate. Check the Credit Unions, your bank, etc. Depending on when you want the vehicle, you could ask what is in their orderbank already. If it is not serialized, they can respec a stock ordered vehicle to your needs. Remember, the BAMR, 20's and SYNC (therefore Limited) are high risk - ie. demand is outpacing supply of commodities. Any of those can delay your order from being scheduled. Your payments will start on the sale date to you and your first payment is usually part of the settlement paperwork if you are going through Ford Motor Credit.

jamers1 Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 My dealer requested a $500 check but they are not cashing it until I actually take delivery. It kind of a good faith gesture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeKC Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 My dealer asked for $200. I ordered on 8/15, was supposed to be built on 10/01. They did cash my check. Said it should be here in about 10 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
