Dealers will often justify asking for a deposit for a "custom order", which is basically any order but they're almost leading you to believe that yours is such a unique specification that no-one else in the country will want it!! Very doubtful in this current climate and most dealers will either have a standard policy around this or as you're placing the order they're busy assessing how easy your chosen specification will be to sell on in the event you pull out of the deal which might drive how strict they are around any deposit...
