Talk about Bronco price gouging 😱 [Update: vehicle is demo unit not for sale yet]

Maybe you are a much better traveler than I am, but the current options quite a bit higher. Hell, rental car prices alone would eat up nearly half of your $5k budget. But good on ya.

The market will decide if it's worth the $20k adm, if it doesn't sell they'll drop it. If it does sell be glad if you bought from an under invoice or MSRP dealer as you got a hot ticket item.

I've sold $600 PS3s for $2500 and a $4k rifle for $9k so I ain't mad at folks trying to make money off the impatient.

Our dealer can’t do this if we ordered through ford right?

You ordered through the dealer, Ford does not sell direct to the customer.

Car buying 101, you never order a car unless and until you have negotiated a price and you have it in a written, signed by the general manager, contract.

So damn glad I moved my reservation from Bob Davidson Ford to Leonard Town Ford!!!!

Well shit, with that logic, nobody really needs a Wildtrack or Lux model Bronco at all. Those models are about $20k more than the Base, which is a great, capable, option.

don't understand what the big deal is on the markup , don't like the price move on , somebody will come from behind and take it home. capitalist America at work and it works for all . free market , buy what you want pay what you want , price it at what you want to sell it. win win for all

What do you expect from a Ford dealership 30 min outside Baltimore, a city that has a mean household annual income of $51,000. This makes perfect sense. Way to know your market, Bob!

Maryland actually has the highest medium income ( $ 86,738) of any other state : https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/interactive/2019-median-household-income.html

And unfortunately there will likely be at least one well paid lobbyist or attorney living in Bethesda or Chevy Chase willing to pay the mark-up just to be the first on his block with a Bronco.

Does it matter ?
If you can’t figure out how to vacation in cool ass places without spending 20k your doing it wrong....

I’ve been all over the world and haven’t and won’t spend 20k to
Do it...

good for you...spend your own money how you want to, and think everybody who spends more than you is an idiot. I promise, they don't care what you think.

I find deals and spend time figuring it all out. We stayed in a VRBO in Maui that was beautiful and way cheaper. In Kauai we had a great hotel and got a great deal. Just gotta look around.

Went by Bod Davison Ford today to look at the blue Wildtrak 2 door and saw this

Well. It will sell. At least they are honest about dealer markup…..

And I wouldn’t call it “gouging”. No one is forced to pay that… it’s understanding the market… and surviving. Dealerships are down to 10% of regular inventory. Folks need to keep their jobs. This is the most anticipated vehicle Ford has produced since ???. It will sell.

There is always the possibility of negotiating the price on the window, right? Or is that a locked in number that can’t move? I was under the impression that it was just a starting point, so why get so worked up over it... I still think it’s a customers order that is letting the dealership sell for them. Kinda like all the folks selling 10 year old junk for new car prices right now. Ok, I know I’m probably wrong on every count, so y’all continue bitching.

It could be worse. Could be an Audi RS6 wagon..

there’s one story of a dealership trying 100k over MSRP

https://www.thedrive.com/news/39805/audi-dealer-marks-up-rs6-avant-100000-over-sticker-price

As a rule, I don’t do business with a dealership that does this. I also won’t do business with a guy if I know he cheats on his wife.

I got married in Hawaii and was in Maui for a week and than Kauai for a week. I literally did whatever I wanted the entire time and I still didn’t spend within 5K of that figure. That includes the money I spent for my wedding lol.

Nicely done. We got married in Vegas in 2015, spent $2500 total for a week stay, including travel. I like to think of myself as a thrift expert.

Reckon how much the general contractor made off of your house... just for making a few calls to get workers and stuff out there?

Dude if you think that’s all a Contractor does, build your own damn house and see how easy it is. I learned a long time ago, don’t criticize what someone else does unless you’ve been there, done that. Now there are plenty of scheisters in contracting, but it isn’t the norm.

Sad thing is the person that buys this will have more money than sense. They don't really want a Bronco. They just want the new hotness. A conversation started. A status symbol. And more than likely after the newness wears off they will trade it in probably a few months down the line. Another Bronco that could have been in the hands of someone who really wanted it.
