They were basically acting like it was THEIR order and not yours. I always suspected shadiness from them, but this really confirms it. Glad you were able to walk away.

Yeah, AK tried to convince me that they had to submit the order to give me pricing, and they had converted 50 orders already and nobody had requested pricing before converting. Either they are lying, or there are 50 stupid people out there.

I guess those nitrogen-filled tires don't fill themselves.

Consistently one of the worst websites year after year. I think the only way a Bronco makes it to the show floor is if one of the dealer mannequin vehicles is ready by then. I also wonder if the show will be a “look, but don’t touch” affair this year because of COVID.
Went into Krause-Alpharetta yesterday to convert my reservation and had a similar experience to what others have posted here. Reached out to them this morning via email to express my concerns with not having the numbers finalized, extras being added on later, etc. The Sales manager called me shortly after and put everything into writing and that I dod not have to pay anything other than the below. It broke down as follows for folks that don't qualify for special pricing plans:
They are converting reservations at MSRP with no ADM.
+ GATAVT: 6.6%
+ Doc Fee is $799
+Tag and Title is $170 (Title Fee $18, Filing Fee $149, Lemon Law $3)
Net Sales Price
- $1,000 Cash Deposit ($100 via Ford + $900 to place order)
=Balance owed
I was told I did not have to pay any other fees or junk costs (ie Paint sealant, seat protectant, nitrogen tire fill, window etching, etc).
I got the impression from reading the forum here and sharing DM's with other users that the issues folks have had at this dealer was that they were perhaps not talking to to the right people. I could be wrong, but after talking to their Sales Manager (who was not in yesterday when I was there), I felt much better about where things were at. I hope it works out as expected.

Oh, there are way more than that.
Would you mind sharing which dealer you switched to to get invoice + $500? That sounds like the best local deal going right now.
Thank you.

I’m at Mall of Ga Ford in Buford. Told me I was in their earliest ten orders due to reservation time stamp. Initiated the order in the system but said nothing would really happen until mid March when orders get locked in. No drama so far but no deal either. Flat MSRP plus some junk fees that I don’t love but can live with. I did not realize we could move our orders around. Gonna have to look into that. frankly the dealer said they hope people cancel so them they can get the markup (assuming they can get more allocation??) apparently they have to honor msrp on these initial reservations?

Submitted my order last Saturday!
Super easy and thank goodness the guy at the dealership knew his stuff about the Bronco. I didn't feel like I knew more than he did (well, at least not a LOT more).

Did they hold true to invoice + $500?
