Default Interest on down payment

Has anyone besides myself complained about down payment for a car not being delivered as promised. Or was I the only one that had to put in a down payment when ordering?

PM me your PayPal account. I'll send you the $1 interest you're missing out on.

I was thinking maybe they will throw in a few extras. interest is not the point just a little pressure on Porsche for the delay
So you can all have a little laugh on me
I have 4 porsches in the garage now and have the GT3 and a targa on order, thought maybe with history get a few things

The count is two. I also put a substantial amount down. It would be nice if they retro the fire extinguisher I forgot to order.

I put a deposit down. Not really missing the opportunity cost of that $, only missing the car that I'm trying to patiently wait for!

Curious how much deposit is being asked at different dealers.
My dealer asked for a $5K deposit. Others?

I put 5k Down to secure allocation. I Wouldn't give them a down payment of 20% until the car arrived!

5k is very standard and I heard of 10K. I happened to put a quite a bit down because my accountant advised me to do so. The dealer did not ask for it.

$5k.

That 100 bucks in interest will break me. I really can't afford this car.

I was asked to put down 10% on an estimated $160k build in May of '13. I guess I'm the big sucker here...

I wish I could get a 2% return on my checking account.
