I've long been wondering what the penalty was for selling an order to someone else.
I've heard it's severe but no idea what it is.
I doubt many would take an order from Alice and sell it to Bob directly. But what's to stop a dealer doing a price gouge at delivery via ADM or some other made up fees? Or intentionally massively under pricing trade in? And price Alice out of completing the transaction? Dealer could just sheepishly be like "Alice didn't want it" and now it's their 's to sell?
For a while, a bronco sold on a dealer floor would be able to command a huge premium I'd assume. You'd have a furious would be customer, but a happy new bronco owner plus a fat stack for the dealer.
Edit: what recourse would Alice have? Could flame the dealer in reviews obviously but that is the equivalent of doing nothing
Anyone have specifics on what ford is threatening so this doesn't happen?
