My thoughts on this from what I've seen reading documents - it appears Dealerships have a screen they can go in and make price adjustments on a vehicle. This way when you go to order that pricing shows up either replacing the MSRP Ford puts in or shows along side of it, I'm not sure which. It seems the goal is for you however to know any adjustments or ADM your dealer is going to do at time of order, it would truly be up front.
The problem is the dealers don't add it there and why would they, Ford would then see for sure who is adding mark ups. So instead afterward they just print a copy of your order and hand write it. They keep it out of the systems.
A bigger question - why would Ford even give them a place like this - I guess I can see it if there are discounts being given, but it shouldn't allow markups. Either way - if they do it hand written after the fact, they hide from the mothership on the ADM.
I'm not a lawyer, but my gut also tells me that printing the order and signing it would have little legal bearing, it is nothing more than maybe intent. To buy and truly agree on a price it must be on a MVPA - Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement and that only gets filled in at time of sale when you are handing over money and getting the key to drive off.
