• We are offering an additional -$300 to X-Plan qualifiers.
• There will be no “hidden fees”. You’ll know before you get here, exactly what to expect.
• We will offer additions to your new ride, such as extended warranties, accessories, etc. but none of that will be mandatory or pre-installed without your approval.
• We’re working to provide bonded and insured shippers for every vehicle (if the customer wants to go that route) and we’ll work with the customer’s choice of shipper if the customer wants to take care of shipping on their own.
• Everything pertaining to the purchase will be “above board” prior to your commitment to our dealership as the receiver of your reservation.
• We’re working on trade-ins and the possibility of getting your trade-in appraised prior to arrival at our facility.

The Details.

Below is a comprehensive plan for delivery of officially reserved 2021 Ford Broncos

For X-Plan customers will the doc fee be capped at $100?

It says "current reservations" in your plan, I assume the same will apply if we switch over from somewhere else?

What he said. I'm currently reserved at sheehy in gaithersburg md.

Greetings folks!

We're back and we have a plan that we think everyone with a reservation will be happy about!

We've setup a special page on our website where we have posted a summary of the plan and the details of the plan, as outlined below. We have also included a signed copy of our plan, by our General Manager, to make it formal.

We know there's going to be questions, and we will endeavor to answer every single question presented to us in a timely manner.

We want to give a shout-out to Granger Ford for stepping up to the plate and being the first to come up with this type of approach!


Our Offer.

We are offering to sell 2021 Broncos to those with current reservations for -$1000 BELOW INVOICE. There are no gimmicks. Also, if the customer qualifies for the X-Plan (Ford), we will allow an additional deduction of -$300. Again, NO GIMMICKS. This is all 100% above-board.

We are transparent. Everything we do in regards to the reservation process will be an open-book. It’s truly the only proper way to conduct business. We know it, our customers know it.

The question is, do you have your reservation for the new Ford Bronco? Reservations are now closed and the first round of Broncos are not being allocated by the manufacturer to ANY dealership. However, through the reservations, customers are able to pick the dealer they want their new Bronco delivered.

Why does it say reservations are closed? I just checked the Ford website and they're still taking reservations.

 

[NHCheef]

I understand. I just want the total

can I assume the total is $250 + $15 + $265 = $530 ???

I think it's $250 + 6% sales tax ($15) = $265 total

 

[Gamecock]

It reads $265 total.

 

[Bronco4lyfe85]

I’m closer to Granger but this is awesome you’re doing this! Bravo!!

 

[Toffs]

Thank you Stephens -- I will be talking to you in October!

 

[ZackDanger]

Welp...

Just made a reservation, listed Stephens Auto Center as my dealer (for a fly-and-drive home to MA) and within minutes of doing so I got a personal phone call from John thanking me.

If that isn't a good sign, I don't know what is.

Thanks!

I think I'm just about there, too. Looks like a pretty easy (and affordable) flight to CRW from Logan. Not a bad drive home either through what I can only assume will be some pretty country!

 

[Major_Bullsteak]

I believe its just $265 added. In his post he was adding it for us is what it looks like. 250 + 15

 

[Yosef]

This is great, thank you! Can you clarify pricing on options will that be invoice as well? For example, Sasquatch, automatic transmission, 2.7, etc. (if not standard on bronco)

 

[Garbone]

Assuming agreement by authority higher than myself.

Could we get the papers/payment done before hand and have the Bronco dropped at Yeager Airport?

Do you accept Zelle payments?

 

[siddious33]

For X-Plan customers will the doc fee be capped at $100?

I'm curious about this part too. I thought using X-plan meant any doc fee was capped at 100.

Same here, nice 12hr drive back to Salem!! Just need to get the Mrs to sign off on it, she's got a Brother in WV so I'm sure a trip to visit him will seal the deal!

You really should clarify your pricing of the options/accessories at MSRP or Invoice.
That is critical for the Bronco which is a perfect vehicle for adding options and accessories.

I appreciate your personal feelings about not wanting to charge over invoice for these items but the official decision and word is critical.
Thanks!
