Here starts the dealer games

[Colorado buff]

Can’t wait for the death of the dealership model. I know there are a few good dealers out there, and I know it’s their livelihood and careers, but the bad dealers FAR outweigh the good ones.

Yeah the guy who got screwed should have confirmed price in a written document, but only a very small percentage of car buyers are even aware of ADM. And for someone who isn’t into cars or hasn’t purchased a really hot vehicle brand new or done a ton of research here would have no reasonable expectation that the dealership would be charging 150% of MSRP. Shitty behavior. I think in 50 years dealerships become just service centers/new vehicle storage and delivery hubs. Everything will be purchased direct from the manufacturer.

Hence why I buy used. I hate the dealership experience.

Came across this post on a 6th Gen FB page. Hope everyone got a signed purchase agreement when they ordered their bronco.

Actually I’m trying to be respectful of the person who posted it.

And that was the right thing to do. Posting her name her on the forum isn't cool in my opinion. Why do people need her name? Are you gonna slide in her DMs? The entire post was copied here, no need for searching her out. This is a public forum, anyone can see this info and not everyone has good intentions.

I agree and I don’t. I like haggling price.

Agree dealership model needs to die. Sell the vehicle for the fixed price for everyone period.

I can't wait for my dealership to stick it to me on my trade in... Knowing full well that I'm not gonna easily walk away from my Bronco.

You have the power w trade. Take it to carmax or carvana instead. Don’t leave it up to the dealer where you have no leverage.

My thoughts exactly, they probably just want to be nosey and creep.

It’s gonna happen a lot more than people realize. Dealers can’t predict trade prices when your Broncos actually delivered. It’s the only piece of the puzzle without answers.

You’re confusing my statement that Ford locking in MSRP is indeed helpful to buyers, with me saying what this dealer did is okay… which is not what I’m saying.

That email was sent to all reservation holders, creating an illusion as tho it was directed at all of us and we were somehow protected. Either you are making an assumption on who that statement was pointed to or ford was being pretty damn deceitful in making it seem like this was a good thing for us reservation holders. I don’t know if the story is completely true or if there is something not being told, but the dealerships praying on ppls wallet to help themselves is pure greed.
I understand market economics well and supply and demand, but us reservation holders should not be concerned about showing up to a dealership after all this time and msrp shown at time we converted to an order, for a dealer to change their mind and drive the price up when we show up to pick it up. Sounds like that isn’t ur plan at granger, so that’s great!but if the story is true, there is 0 reason to defend them.

Says the 2 guys that clearly went and looked at what she looks like You wouldn’t be saying this if you didn’t have a reason to. Either way, I looked it up because I wanted to read the entire story and replies, it’s a public Facebook post for Christ sake.

I don’t know why it’s hard for you to understand dealerships are their own entity. When Ford sent everybody the email, they were saying that they would not increase the manufactured suggested retail price on a vehicle. Typically every year on vehicles the prices are increased. They charge more for certain options and so forth. That’s what they were saying when they won’t raise MSRP. Now a dealership is free to charge what they want on the vehicles they sell there is no such thing as UPP(universal pricing policy) in vehicle sales. In other words if your bronco has ADM it’s your dealers fault. Now Ford could come out and say if excessive ADM is charged it could affect your allocations. Ask yourself this would you want to screw with someone making you millions of dollars?

So we should be aiming to get a signed MSRP agreement with our dealers asap then?

The only way , must get general managers signed sales order and your signature for a contract to be enforceable, anything less is no good .

Steve, you should save the humor and wit for those that actually possess humor and wit.
