I mean, if someone's gonna throw down 40-60k, I feel like 'loose ends' should be at a minimum. I understand why they're ambiguous on the the "this is the day the B&P tool will be out", but by all means when someone says by September or by February, I look at that as before September or February.I believe Oct 31 is the deadline.
Also, I am not sure there is a need or requirement to have the B&P before committing to a dealer. You either know your current dealer is offering a discount or they are not. For example, my dealer, @StephensAutoCenter , is offering $1,300 below invoice. If your dealer is not, then no matter what the B&P says, I am paying less for the same vehicle.
What am I missing on all the talk about B&P being important in the decision to change dealers?

Ehh avg price for a new car last I looked was something like 34-36k so I'm figuring most other than base will be in the 42k-50k being the sweet spot for most we are not that farLong time lurker, first time poster. Psyched to play with the configurator.
Honestly not sure why there’s so much confusion about Mike Levine’s position in all this. If we all agree the average Bronco is going to be 50% more expensive than the average new car then I think it’s fair to assume we all have a good idea how big companies work. That is, they don’t. Someone like Mike is tasked with dealing with us crazed maniacs and told to keep us excited about the next Bronco thing but given no power to make anything happen. When he asks the IT group for the fiftieth time when they think they’ll have the Bronco configurator ready they just roll their eyes at him and point to the brilliant timing of the F150 configurator. He can’t light a fire under them any more than we can. He does get to deal with any angry Bronco zealots, so there’s that.
I think its more a Ford cultural thing; the FANG companies disprove your assertionI think it’s fair to assume we all have a good idea how big companies work. That is, they don’t.
I already have my dealership chosen (Granger). I just want build and price up and going so I can screenshot my build and add the picture to my special nighttime collection..........I believe Oct 31 is the deadline.
