It's not the deposit, that is accounted for somewhere else. It's showing as a discount overall. First one I've heard of or see on the forum, congrats if it sticks.

Gotta read those footnotes, E24, aka we can change this if we feel like it, and you can't do anything about it.

Speaking of footnotes... So our deposit agrees to the purchase price but that price is subject to change if the dealer feels like they want more or they keep your order as their own? I'll just call Ford and see what they think.

I don't see E24. Perhaps it's because I only have a reservation and not an order.
Can you provide a screenshot of the footnote you are referencing?

It's a few posts up, "E24 - Difference from MSRP" aka ADM / Dealer Markup
and, yes, it's only visible when you go to convert your reservation to an order and/or in the summary after you have placed the order.

Update: I called Ford (not the dealer) and they said that the dealers are allowed to do it and that it seems they have figured out a way to use they system to their advantage - because you either pay the ADM or they keep the truck and sell it for more. So, even though Ford claims to frown upon this, they actually said it's allowed, which is why they were able to add the ADM on their website after I was assigned a VIN. Pretty bad if you ask me...

I hope other dealers don't do this, but it's not right how that have the ability to do so. I guess we really don't have a lot of info on this until orders start being delivered. Ford asked if I had a sales agreement, which is weird because my dealers have all said they can't sign an agreement without an actual vehicle in their dealership. So, wouldn't the order acceptance and deposit be the next thing? They said no.

So, I called the dealership now and they claim that there won't be any ADM since it was ordered and not one on their lot. Sounds like people aren't sure what's going on and I'm not sure who changes the order page that shows the markup. Either way, I have all of the documents, so if I need to submit a consumer protection complaint, I can do so. I'm hoping for the best though!

You may want to reach out to @mikelevine from Ford on twitter about these dealer shenanigans. The whole purpose of the Lightning wave order invite process was to prevent dealers from the truck arrives at dealer and price jacks up activities that have been going on with Bronco and other models. A bit of pressure from Ford with the dealer losing allocation will have them toeing the line.
