I had a similar conversation with Ryan Hensen at Larry H. Miller; their terms were when I ordered: $2000 refundable deposit and a dealer markup of $1200 (maybe you'd call this ADM). Ryan is pretty knowledgable, responsive and businesslike. We have executed an agreement for my '22 oder laying...
Sorry for coming off more critical than I intended - at this point I’m happy that the higher price for me might work out as a quicker delivery - I hope you get yours as quickly.
My Denver dealer is charging MSRP + $1200, he has 260 orders and has shown me my spot in line (not sure that they really know very accurately - so as a matter of conjecture its not super accurate, given commodity constraints). One might quibble with MSRP plus, but in the scheme of things ... ...
It’s tough for Ford to control pricing to the high end … the only way is to build vehicles quickly - there always seems to be some aHole who has to impress by being the first.

My point is we don't really know that ... if they produce more than what has been allocated across all dealers where does the excess go? My guess is they'll reallocate. I'm not saying the allocation scheme is fair or that I agree with it, just wondering if it's doomsday.
I may be missing something ... the assumption everyone is making is that the sum of all dealer allocations for 2022 is less than or equal to 2022 production. Does anyone know for a fact or have a reasonable set of numbers that indicates this is true? I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just asking...
Not the same? The value of the voucher is determined by the increase in the model you had on order - so far most option prices seem unchanged - you can apply the voucher to another model, that is the distinction.
