Agreed. But likely someone will tell everyone how they scooped a buddy’s spot on the list and the dealership will be left with a hundred angry list dwellers.
Ya, they might be mad, but how does it affect them? It doesn't at all unless he was really going to abandon his spot and who would know unless he did? The fact of changing spots doesn't affect them one bit. Unless one can see alternate futures.
That is what most dealers do. When an allocation comes up they give it the next taker on the lists. This also could be so they make sure the allocation isn't sold to someone.
This means your dealer is one of the good ones. For all they know, you friend is selling his allocation to you and once you trade allocations he will get his deposit back.
