It wouldn't surprise me if the upcoming B & P only applies to reservations before Sept 18.Assuming that a reservation after Sept 18 <whatever> allows use of the same B&P that comes out in <whenever> and placing my order in January. Same Granger deal, same B&P tool at the same time as 160K+ other folks.
Reserved doesn't mean ordered. Dealerships are going to do everything they can to make sure all orders go with the customer, as there are heavy penalties for not doing so.Well, I hope you’re right, because based on the language of the letter, I will not be able to get a 2021, but rather a 2022… Whenever that becomes available to build.
So you’re telling me that a Ford dealership will not have unreserved Broncos to sell prior to me getting the build that I was promised?
What you say here is not actually what the letter says. You say “Any reservations made after September 22nd will be MY2022”. In reality, it’s only the case that reservations made after that date don’t affect dealer allocation in the formula. A dealer may crush the formula (high reservation conversion, big dealer, lots of competitive registrations) and get enough allocation to fill reservations of theirs that go beyond the September 18th date.Here is official communications confirming that the new reservation move cut-off date is January 31, 2021 and the 2021 Model Year reservations cut-off date is September 18, 2020 (any reservations made after September 18, 2020 will be 2022 Model Year).
Maybe uncommon, but I doubt 'exceedingly rare'. I think Ford's low reserve/order deposit will result in a much higher % than other reserve orders (Tesla etc) seeing as people don't really have much to lose by ordering and then not taking delivery. I'm sure they will be marked up to high hell though. I think they made a huge mistake only asking for $100.Reserved doesn't mean ordered.

Broncos that were ordered, but then turned down after a delivery will be exceedingly rare.
You just called @Granger a LiarIn the effort of full disclosure, I just spoke to the Ford rep in this area. Bronco Sport allocation is known. Full size Bronco allocation info has not been communicated to ANY dealer as of yet. If other info is out there, it is almost certainly incorrect.
Thank you and stay safe.
You make a valid point. If they got rid of the manual- I would never drive mine for fear of some of the forum hooligans stealing it while I was trying to enjoy a slice of pineapple pizza.It could just as well be the other way. There could be (likely be) new options but it would surprise me if Ford cut back on the amount of options.
Yeah - I think they are boxing Granger out with this move.Cutoff date for reservations is a move targeted at Granger.
Again, a reservation isn't an order. Lots of dealers are going to require an additional deposit at order time to weed out those that truly have no intention of actually purchasing a Bronco. The dealers don't want the penalties from orders not going to the customer.Maybe uncommon, but I doubt 'exceedingly rare'. I think Ford's low reserve/order deposit will result in a much higher % than other reserve orders (Tesla etc) seeing as people don't really have much to lose by ordering and then not taking delivery.

A high percentage wouldn't be able too. I have had to drive mine at the tire shop and car wash a few times because they had no one who knew how.You make a valid point. If they got rid of the manual- I would never drive mine for fear of some of the forum hooligans stealing it while I was trying to enjoy a slice of pineapple pizza.
There isn't any.....There needs to be an additional thread that explains the important and meaningful info from this thread. ?
