This is an unfortunate reality i was trying to bring up a short bit ago but was shit on for it. This date memo is a bit of a joke and laughable, because as it stands, reality could have a drastically different view based on the allocation plan. while yes fulfilling orders based on their order would be wonderful, there is also the problematic side of late availability on some things, 2 door vs 4 door, color, ect. Ford doesnt want all of the allocations going to one region.
Ask yourself why anyone would believe that white would be a late production color, and then proceed to ask yourself if you can believe the rest of what they said.
Delayed production listings change daily, a factory shutdown, power outages, transfer of production line to making other options, etc. This does not mean it will be delayed production at the time of order just that as of today, Oxford White is on the list. Sat right there and looked at the computer with her and there were other options/packages on the list as well. Again, it changes daily and is dependent on what the plant has in stock, what color runs they are doing/have scheduled that day. The list wasn't just Bronco specific but Ford production in general.
The $100 was only for the reservation. When it comes time to order, expect to put a deposit down--generally, non-refundable--to place your order. Should you choose not to purchase your Bronco when it arrives, plan not to get that deposit back.
If your Bronco arrived differently-configured than what you ordered, you could get your deposit back and probably qualify for a new order placing you in line for quick production, but if you simply change your mind or can't get financed, the dealer doesn't have to return your deposit. The deposit is because the dealer then has to assume the risk of selling the vehicle. Being a Bronco in hot demand, if you weren't able to purchase it because of a hardship issue, you likely could get your deposit back from a decent dealer, since they should be able to sell it within a day.
So, the $100 really only differentiates someone who is likely to consider ordering one from someone who just thinks they're cool and doesn't mind being on a "no obligation" list. Order time is what separates the men from the boys. ? Put up or shut up. Put your money where your mouth is. Etc.
When we switch year to year there aren’t any tooling changes. Especially between 2021 and 2022 Bronco.
Well I have one reservation with a small dealership and another with a large dealership, I guess I’ll wait and see.
That’s why one don’t have just one specific model being built at a time. And I’ve never seen color runs.
Ok...I keep hearing this, but seriously? It takes 2 to tango as they say. Who is the rube who just fell off the turnip truck who buys a "like new" used vehicle for MORE than new msrp? In my state you couldn't do this because dealers must close on Sundays (salesman wouldn't be able to advertise "one owner car, only driven to church on sunday"). Are Atlanta area dealers open on sundays?
I doubt we'll hear much about 22's until the 21 model year has been built out. As Ford always states, they don't comment on future products.
thats cute. So you have put 2 and 2 together then as well as to just what i was saying that has ben confirmed for most of the day? That allocations to dealers could dramatically affect whether you get a 2021 vs a 2022, no matter your reservation date.
Well you are going to know its been titled previously. We got a saying in this business, they are only new once!
