Dealers need to slither and eat. If they can sell your cancelled order and make ADM, then there might be less pressure for them to charge ADM on someone else's custom order.
I'd be nice if Ford could reduce the allocation for these types of dealers, or reduce the Hold Back payments. It's probably the only lever of control they have.
