90% to 100% chance there will be an ADM. That will not protect you at all.

Kearney Mesa is a quality dealer in SoCal that can take care of you. Try them.

I’ve been

SoCal?

I hear that everything is cost reasonable over there.

I've seen it at a good 50/50 split between dealerships.

I didn't get a purchase agreement on my original order, but dealer signed one for me when I re-ordered in October '21. Certainly had no VIN at that time.

Good to know. What state are you in?

if you're in socal (costa mesa) , I would recco Theodore Robins Ford ask for Raffi. They were honest and easy to work with but you won't get any updates until its delivered so you'll have to get by with your build week group.

Avoid Huntington Beach Ford,

If you're closer to San Diego, Kearny Mesa Ford from what i've heard are honest and were great with updates.

I've been working with Airport Marina Ford and a few in the valley and so far it hasnt been unpleasant, aside from not giving a solid answer on opening date on Order banks.

Make sure you put down at least one dollar with your signed agreement. I’m not sure specifics about CA and contracts but something signed with nothing exchanged is just considered a promise in a lot of places (which isn’t legally binding).

I've heard cases where folks put down a deposit and were still hit with a crazy ADM, so I'm not sure how true that is.

Honestly it’s all about how good and honest your dealer is. You can have every piece of paperwork and legal precident in your favor but if they want to be shady, they’re going to be shady. At the end of the day it’s not worth the time of money for most people to go after a dealer for a 5-10k adm. even if you have all the stuff backing you up, attorney fees will kill you. Dealers know this. Best you can do is have all your ducks in a row and if you have a decent dealer they’ll honor it. It’s the Wild West out there.

California, they need the VIN to enter into the computer to find out the vehicle taxes/registration.

They can in theory figure out the sales tax, but how would they know what the taxes are going to be in the future? It's Cali, they could go up.
