Based on all the other posts about putting down deposits, I guess that's pretty unusual.

We had to order the wife's 17 Impreza since she had to have the top trim in a certain rare(ish) colour. They didn't want a deposit either and like you that made me a bit nervous. All went off without a single hiccup though.
