Depends on the dealer. I was told zero, but they know me and I'm a longtime customer

I put $1,000 with my dealer a few months back to make sure I was #1 when orders can be placed.

Dealer I went through in 2011 asked $500...seems standard. I gave a $1000 since it was going to down payment anyway.

My dealer does 1000 but it goes toward down payment when truck arrives.

It goes toward down payment so you can use any amount you want but the minimum we take is $500

None. I was not required to put down a deposit =) My order was accepted, punched, and I have my VON :P Said if I was unhappy with the way it is (i.e., if it locks prior to details being released), I can just order another. Honestly, my dealer is pretty high volume, so they'll easily sell every loaded Rubi 4 door they get. They're not worried, and I've done a ton (mostly service, but have purchased three vehicles or so) of business with them in the past.

I just spoke to my dealer and he said $0 down but if I wanted to put either $500 or $1,000 down to ensure that it has a purchase attached to the build and cannot be taken by another dealer/customer, I could do that, and it would be completely refundable if I decide to walk away. He said any custom orders will sell right away as soon as they hit the lot so he's not concerned with people changing their minds.

My dealer said this time is a different situation since it hasn’t been released. They normally do a non refundable $500 but in this case they are waiving it and I can pick a different vehicle if I don’t like it.
In my situation I am moving and need a car regardless so I’m getting a wrangler whether it’s a JL or JK so I am fine if it was non-refundable anyway

$1k for me. Should be refundable, but I'm not worried about that. I set the amount.

No deposit here, I was told if I'm not happy with our deal when my order comes in he'll have no problem selling it to someone else.
