Export Policy Agreement
Hi;
My new SUV is arriving.
Looking for some solid advice, or expertise on the Export form.
I have no problem signing the Export policy agreement. Plan on keeping the car for 5-7 years. Even told them to add the 3 year PPM, and up the warranty to 6 years.
But are these dealers asking to hold a deposit for 1 year?
This dealer has asked to hold $10,000 for a year, so they have collateral in case its exported.
I have no problem signing my life away for their form.
$10,000 interest free hold, sounds crazy.
Has it happened to any others?
Thanks.

I have never heard of this kind of arrangement. Not Porsche. Not BMW. Not Audi.
I just ordered a car and if my dealer is asking such, I would cancel my order at time of delivery as this kind of disclosure should be made from the time I put in my order.

You can try but I don't think it'll get you anywhere. They've put that export deposit on pretty much every GLS order. Whether you like it or not, there's way more demand for GLS then there is supply right now so if you don't want the car they're more than happy to take the next customer who wants it and is willing to pay. That's just the reality unfortunately.
