Reasonable Down Payment?

I was looking at a 93 Chevy S10, V-6, manual, for $1995 (roughly $2700 after tax, title, doc fees). I offered $280 for a down payment (just over 10% overall vehicle cost). They came back at $700. Are they way out of bounds on that or is that normal on something like that?

    Lenders are likely to ask for larger percentage downpayments for older vehicles. That $700 is probably covering the whole cost of the title and doc fees and a percentage of the sales price/taxes. Seems reasonable to me.
