However, I'm worried that I'll basically have to pay ~MSRP since there will be such high demand. Does anyone have experience with this process? Do you think this will be the case? Under what conditions is the deposit refundable?

Paying near MSRP on a F32 vs. an equally priced F30 at almost invoice is going to be a tough sell for me. Almost $100 more per month.
In most state a deposit on a car is refundable by law.

Pricing will depend in a big part on your relationship with your dealer. A dealer might be more open to agreeing to discount a car for a repeat client that also uses the dealership for service than someone from out of the area who they are not likely to see again.
