They will give you your deposit back and kiss you on the mouth.
They will be giddy about the markup they are going to do - and it will be gone that day.
If it was a non refundable deposit then the dealership can keep his deposit AND sell the vehicle to someone else with a markup. It's been done, there are posts on this very forum about it. Hopefully the dealership the OP ordered from isn't that scummy though.

Funny enough, our (Oct'21) $500 was refundable- when I came back from out of country and no Mav in sight we bought a used Civic (Jun'22)and cancelled our order. Then got an email a few months later it was in production.

So we put the deposit back on it, then got emails it was delayed... and delayed... and delayed... then rolled into a '23 truck instead, and stopped getting emails. Then March23 got a phone call that it had arrived LOLOL.

So then what did the dealership say about your deposit? Are they willing to refund it if you don't take delivery of the Maverick?
Prior to asking I wanted to hear what the experience of others were. I'm not partial to re-inventing the wheel. I do not anticipate any issues but I also believe that others have wrangled a better deal and so I asked.

Okay? That doesn't answer anything and I have to admit it seems like you're purposely being obtuse in this thread. As I and many others have already pointed out, the deposit is 100% dependent on what you agreed to when you made the deposit. What agreement did you have with the dealership? If you aren't sure then the only way to know if it's refundable is to ask the dealership. NO ONE here can tell you that. So again, what did they say when you asked?

If you don't ask, you don't get.

I cancelled my order on the original Maverick I ordered. They had no issue giving me my refund back.

You are such a breathe of fresh air! I'm amazed at your internet acumen! Such a person as yourself shouldn't be hanging around here with the peons but soaring with eagles.
Seriously, why are you asking strangers on a forum that have nothing to do with your dealer, haven't see anything you've signed how to get your money back before you've even just asked?

Look, teachers are liars, there are stupid questions.

I'm not going to take delivery off my now being built 2024 XLT hybrid in FT. Myers FL.
What the best way to get my $500 deposit back or make some money??
I guess I would ask the dealership for it back if you want to make money, take delivery of it and sell it yourself.

If you read between the lines in this thread and his past posts t's clear that he doesn't want his deposit back. What he wants to hear is that he can definitely make a profit if he takes delivery and resells the truck. What he's looking for is one person to tell him what he wants to hear, that he'll definitely be able to do that. He's already said that he's having financial difficulties so that is an awful plan on his part.

This is terrible advice. He's already said that he's having financial difficulties and cannot afford the truck. Could he buy it an make a profit on it? It's possible but the more likely outcome will be that he takes a loss if he tries that. He should do the sure thing in his case and just ask for his deposit back.
