Whenever you order a vehicle, you pay a small bit down, but full purchase isn’t until it arrives. Sometimes you can get deals on custom orders that fell through at the last minute that a person didn’t buy.
I did the same thing in Germany, but the down payment was much higher so people tend to commit fully. It’s actually more of an exception in the US as people tend to not custom order as dealers have loads of new cars ready to go on the lot.
Frankly I’d prefer them to switch to a custom order model, but there are too many impulse car buyers here.

Sales people here are hyper aggressive at trying to get you to buy something today. I ordered my last vehicle and they fought it tooth and nail kicking and screaming. They ended up doing a national search with a 3000 mile radius looking for what I wanted at other dealers. When that came up empty they finally yielded and let me order the damn thing.
Seen this is Spain, but only when someone ordered an unpopular colour or something
Edit: actually, one of my bikes is this - it was a model available in custom colour combos for a bit extra money - mine is green and blue which is a bit off the wall, but I like it … and I got a new bike for 1000€ less than the asking price :-)
