Photo added: Just got the call - My Bronco has been delivered --- but damaged hood!

On a serious note I hope they are just exaggerating and everything is straight.

Is there a thread out there for people who have gotten a Bronco delivered and driven it farther than I can throw a cow without something breaking or looking like a kindergartener built it?

I‘d propose starting one, but don’t feel like doing enough research to keep the forum nazis from shitting all over me for thinking about discussing something somebody already thought about discussing…as that is clearly unforgiveable.

I’m glad you feel the same way. Those guys are assholes and I’ve declined posting so many things just because I don’t want to deal with their shitty responses that I should comb through thousands of years old threads.

This is the downside of special order cars - which all of these are. Typically, a good number of cars arrive at dealerships with some damage, but they don't go on the sales floor until they are fixed. We are learning about all the damage because we know when they are being delivered. I hate it for everyone that has to deal with it, but it may be more common for other cars it's just this forum is scrutinizing every minor detail.

Yep, ain’t nobody got time for that. So what if something’s already out there.

Lots of damaged Bronco stories popping. Are they shipping these things with USPS or something?

That would actually explain a lot...

original post updated with photo. Dealer is saying there is one small paint chip on the hood and several dents in the hood.

So nothing wrong with the roof as originally reported?

not that I know of - he clarified that he only sees damage to the hood of the car.

Just spoke to the sales manager - he told me that I have no options here. They are going to fill in the dents and re-paint the hood. The work will be done by the dealerships body shop.

Good news is hoods aren’t a commodity… YET

bondo is not a commodity either - which is what it looks like I am getting.

Screw that. They need to provide a new car without glaring defects. They owe you a hood.

You always have the option of not purchasing it, I wouldn't be happy with my order arriving with hood damage.

@flip any other options?

Fill in the dents?

I’ve used a dent guy who does magic pulling/pushing/rubbing out dents.

And I have given him some good sized dents to work on!

Yes there’s a story behind each one, but my lips are sealed.
