$5K deposit??/ What's up with that???
My dealer only wanted a $500.00 deposit from me. Hmmmm....sounds more like a downpayment than a deposit. Your dealer is tough
Only problem with my dealer is he won't tell me when its coming...hasn't answered my voice mail yet!!!

Congrats from a newbie!
Congrats pogo!
I placed my $1000 deposit last week on a Feb. delivery car. My only decisions yet are colors and options. I'd love to see REAL pictures of the red bordeaux color scheme. The websites aren't very accurate in appearance, and I'm torn between red or black. I can understand why you can't sleep! If you can, post some picts when your baby arrives.
It'll be here before you know it!
Good choice!

Pogotango, congratulations! You seem to have just about every option other than nav.
I thought you wanted nav? Why did you change your mind?
Are you paying msrp?
I have an order in for February/march delivery but have not chosen color or options yet. I have to find an outside color to match charcoal/merlot interior.

I have a feeling that he wanted a big deposit because of the color choices of your car. As you know the majority of AMG cars are either silver or black with charcoal interior. If for some reason you do not take delivery, this E55 will be more difficult to move. Is this a refundable deposit? I think 5 grand is way too much money for a deposit. The dealer is asking for this large of a deposit, because he wants to see if you are serious about this car.
Anyway enjoy your E55 when it arrives.

pogotango,
Did you order with the House? I was unsure from the last post I read where you were a little disgruntaled with us & the E500 you are driving.
Congrats anyhow!! I am sure the $5k deposit is due the fact that you ordered a very unusual color exterior and interior.

Thats bullcrap...if you are a good customer you should only need $500 bucks. If you back out they will sell that car to someone....hey even at invoice they still make money!!! They just want money!!!! But then again don't we all!!!!

pogotango-
That's a pretty nice collection of cars for a 22 yr old. I'm guessing you're either:
- very lucky (lottery)
- very successful
- very spoiled
- very much a poser, and are still making payments on the 88 brougham.
What gives?
Hope you don't mind if i pry...
