I had left a 20K deposit on my car with a sticker of 250K. I knew the dealer and have bought many cars from them. I had to cancel because part of the deal was the delivery date. The car kept on getting delayed, so I canceled it. I had to fight to get my deposit back. I did get 99% back the last few dollars they would not give back. I had given my old car which was less than a year old as a trade in, and they sold it for a profit. They lost my business and I will no longer give them any good recommendations. I have a lot of friends who have bought exotics from them, I told them the story, they were surprised as I was.

deposits vary by dealership policies which is affected by their previous experiences. Like if they were burned few times , then they are more strict
the other factor is your relationship not only with the dealership, but with management

I don’t think this is a question of being legal or not. No one will litigate this. It is a question of ethics and will make it very hard for a dealer to ask for over MSRP without risking their reputation.

if it’s reputational leverage, that’s obviously different. But I still don’t think it would have any effect.
