As soon as you countered with anything other than MSRP they know they have won. They now know that you will pay more. Either way they have won.What was bizarre to me as I was sitting across from the sales guy and I told him that the markup was too excessive and it would not work and he went to get the manager they made no adjustments or even attempted to find out from me what pricing I could work with or afford. After a back-and-forth he just said āif you canāt buy it then donātā . I replied āthatās not cool I built this vehicle but youāre telling me if I donāt pay $82,000 for it thereās no way Iām getting itā The gm sent me a list of comps in the area that were selling for over 79,000 and said thereās no way he can go less than market value. Around 2 oāclock on Tuesday I countered with 64,000 because thatās when I went to the dealership prepared to pay with a little wiggle room of Cours but he never countered even before all this started. Iāve bought over 10 vehicles in my lifetime already I have never had a dealership not at least try to sell me a vehicle and I have never bought a vehicle at Msrp itās always been below. Every conversation we had though the one thing that kept coming up was the fact that he didnāt want to sell it to me for a price that left me any wiggle room to make a profit if I was to resell it. I couldnāt figure out how that was relevant to my purchase.
Good. Keep going OP. A lot of folks have your back here.I want my bronco
What a piece of shit dealership. That makes zero sense to take that tactic on a vehicle with the VIN you were promisedWhat was bizarre to me as I was sitting across from the sales guy and I told him that the markup was too excessive and it would not work and he went to get the manager they made no adjustments or even attempted to find out from me what pricing I could work with or afford.

No just venting . I made a video outlining everything last night I was talking fast and it was freaking 20 minutes long.I get the feeling OP has given up...

Iām so sorry, that this stuff continues to happen. I hope that you get it at MSRP in the end, itās only right.Went to my dealer today with my deposit and financing to pick up my bronco after waiting 12 months only for them tell me that the sticker price of 57500 that ford sent me in email is not what the vehicle is available for, and the actual cost is now $82000 take it or leave it. This can't be right. pretty upset especially after all the hype. i even convinced my wife of all the family trips a trail rides we can all go on.
Let us know if that bears any fruit. Good luck
I think this may be a strategy that the stealers are adopting. My rig was delivered on a thurs and I waited for the call and never got it. On sun when they were closed I drove over and physically laid hands on it. Then when I called them on tues the following week I had to make an "appointment" to go talk about what I thought was my truck. When I arrived the bronco was no where to be found so I'm assuming they had no intention of selling me a vehicle that from Ford had my name all over it.... with that info the dealer said "so"? whats your point... all dealers are charging an ADM. luckily I found an honest dealer about an hours drive but my deal is for msrp and its all in writing.... although it sucks sometimes its better just to walk away....Had a similar experience with a dealership in Ohio. Ordered my Big Bend, was given a printout with a breakdown of the pricing, which we both signed. They hit me with some OUTRAGEOUS $650.00 monthly payment on a lease (even though the initial print-out said $388/mo with the criteria we entered at the time of the order). I told the salesman that I can do math and this is out of control - I'm paying half that on a leased Wrangler that had a higher sticker price - he just shrugged and was like "oh well, if you don't want it, we will sell it to someone else". The only way the numbers would have made sense would be if they put a $20,000 markup on it (or were giving it like a 40% residual), but they wouldn't even show me a breakdown of how they arrived to these figures. They didn't even let me test drive it or even see it before talking numbers, which I thought was a huge red flag from the start and should have walked out then. So, it turns out I live in a small town where everyone knows everyone who knows everyone - I found out they had promised a friend of a friend the Bronco that I had ordered and she paid $10,000 over MSRP. She actually signed for it and drove away that morning before I even went to the dealership - which is why they wouldn't show it to me because they didn't even have it! (By the way, it is supposedly illegal in Ohio to sell an ordered vehicle to someone else, but what am I going to do about it?)
I walked and re-ordered with another dealership so back at the start. This time I ordered an OBX, will stand pat with the hardtop and however long it takes, it takes. I'll probably buy instead of lease (which I NEVER buy a vehicle, I like getting a new one every 3 years - but this time around I like the Bronco enough I don't think I'll get sick of it).
The thing is, no matter how excited WE may be about a Bronco, there are only so many people in this world who are willing to over-pay for a novelty vehicle like this. Once that customer base is exhausted and things are more back to "normal" with this whole supply chain / chip crisis, etc, this price gouging is going to have to stop - or we may even see lots with 20+ Broncos lined up going for $10,000 off MSRP (wishful thinking). I'll just be happy to pay the price that is listed on the printout my new dealership gave me when I ordered my OBX when it comes. We will see what happens.
