25% sounds like a lot just to be sure you come and colleges the car you ordered.
I think most Belgian 45e owners are leasing them. I also do. So I just can return it at the end of the lease. Or if the price is still OK I can buy it and cell it my self. But at least a can't be stuck with a heavily devaluated car.
I didn't have to do a downpayment to the dealer because the bank put the order with the dealer

I understand yout point of view, but my situation is different : I pay the car with my money, no bank, no lease, I am the owner. I work for an embassy and in order to have privilleges and special prices is compulsory to own te car, no lease, no rent, no...
At previous car I pay 10% advance, now I was informed that due to some unexpected cancellations the advance must be higher, just in case. Anyway, te car must be paid in full prior to delivery.
