I was wondering if anyone else is getting weird requests from their selected dealer when trying to get an order in for a 2023 E-Mustang?

When I filled out the order form on the Ford website it asked me for a $1000 deposit which I paid and which shows up on my credit card statement as having been paid directly to the dealer. However, the dealer wants me to cancel the deposit and to give them a separate one which strikes me as odd.

In addition, the dealer just contacted me and wants me to sign a BLANK Purchase and Sales agreement with them before the order can go through. I I look at the Ford website it appears that my order has already been processed so I'm not sure what this request is all about, but it is making me VERY uncomfortable.

My dealer is in the Northeast if it makes any difference.

Anyone else seeing these requests?

You never ever ever sign anything blank. My sales agreement was filled out with a few dealer money grabs which I said no to and they deleted. They then sent it to me signed by them. I signed it and sent it in. I though the standard deposit was $500 refundable. That may have changed. The reason they want you to change may be that it would then become non-refundable. Don’t know. Canceling the website deposit may also be taken as canceling the online order. They may have a reason for that also. Possibly gets around the lack of ADM on an online order. Don’t sign the blank and don’t cance the deposit.
