Maybe. Before taxes, on each end of the deal. The days of flipping non-raptor broncos are fading fast.Just take it and then sell it to CarMax for a cool $10k profit
Take delivery, mark it up 10 grand and sell it in a flash. Guaranteed somebody is gonna make money off it. Might as well be you.I am posting this with some trepidation as I know it might frustrate some folks who have been patiently waiting for their Bronco for a LONG time. Nonetheless, I am curious whether anyone has any experience or information about the situation in which I find myself. I ordered a 4 door badlands with soft top a long while ago, and received word from my dealer that it has been built and is in transit to the dealership. During the wait, I made arrangements for another vehicle and am loving it, so I am on the fence whether I want to take delivery of the Bronco at this point.
I know if I choose not to take delivery at MSRP (which the dealer is honoring), the dealership will be offering it for sale with a $15k markup, so I am curious whether anyone has heard of someone in my situation who has been compensated any amount by the dealership to refrain from taking delivery from the dealer.
I ordered the vehicle with full intentions on buying the Bronco and enjoying the heck out of it, and my order was in no way intended to flip the vehicle and make a greedy buck due to supply shortages; however, my situation has changed and I am just exploring options. If anyone has any insight, I would look forward to hearing it. Thanks in advance.
Maybe for the pain and suffering of this horrible mess Ford has created? Maybe to offset what he might have paid to get one sooner? I can think of lots of reasons. Why walk away from something that might have value?Not a flame in any way, but why do you want to be compensated for something you don't own and you don't want? Move on and be at peace.
I think the risk is that certain dealers will refuse to sell to you if you indicate you’re planning to flip itSome of you are missing the point... If you tell the dealer you are not going to buy it, but want them to pay you for it -- they won't. But if you sell the idea that you will buy it and flip it if you have to, but would rather save the time, money and energy by "selling" it to them for less--there is nothing stopping them from making that deal. Maybe they will, and maybe they won't. But if they can sell it for even $10k over, why not pay you $4k to go away? Maybe you make it more appealing by taking Ford Accessories instead of cash or something. It is worth a try and has virtually no risk.
Well, that is the slight risk I was alluding to. It's not much of a risk if you really don't intend to buy it anyway. I think it is all in how you approach the dealership. It could make financial sense for everyone, but they may refuse on "principal." LOL.I think the risk is that certain dealers will refuse to sell to you if you indicate you’re planning to flip it
Thank God, but they are not fading as fast as I wish as a non-scheduled res holderMaybe. Before taxes, on each end of the deal. The days of flipping non-raptor broncos are fading fast.
