Just an FYI kinda thing here and thought I would share this random text from my original dealer (switched 2x before landing at Granger). The guy texted me yesterday and wrote that they have 4 Broncos unclaimed that they just got in and have a 2DR on the way in a few days. All unclaimed. I never told him I switched dealers but whatever, he was clearly never that interested in selling to me.

Does anyone else think it's kind of :poop:y that this place is going to have 5 trucks and many of us (early rez's too) have no line on the horizon to take possession? Further, what kind of nonsense resulted in them having 5 unclaimed rez's? I asked if a test drive was possible and he did not respond. I've seen dealers having a truck perhaps that maybe the dealer/owner ordered or a possible sale that fell through, but 5? :unsure:

If and when I have a chance, I may swing by the lot to see about pricing/markups.


UPDATE:

Well, there were only 3 Broncos in the lot and 1 in the showroom. The place was closed so I did not want to draw too much attention to myself wandering around the place after dark. Not sure if I did not see one or it sold. Did not take great pictures due to poor lighting so my apologies...

So what was the markup? $20,000

This was a 4DR Badlands and the final sticker was over $80K. Again, sorry I did not get more pics but with the darkness and poor lighting, it was a futile endeavor. I may go back for a test drive in this beauty tomorrow if they allow it. I will try to take more pics in the daylight if I go.

This 2DR was the only one under a decent flood light. It's my first in-person 2DR and if she rides as good as she looks, I might just live in my new truck. My God, this thing is incredible as a 2DR!!

Would depend on the size of the dealership. Chicago dealers have to be much larger than the average small town dealer that only has 5 new Fords of any model on the lot at one time.

Or they are unclaimed because people are wise enough to not pay $25,000 ADM on a $55,000 vehicle. How far are you from Mattoon, IL

It’s a shame that the financing fell through for all those dealership employees, and they had to abandon their orders to dealer stock. My heart breaks for them in this difficult time in the auto industry. :cry:

You transferring from a place and going to one of the most popular dealers on this forum, with a huge order list, probably didn't help your place in line. But I'm sure you knew that was a cost of getting the deal that Granger is known for.

As far as the old dealer having 5 trucks. I don't see the issue. There is no context here. These may be the first units they have received. Its not like they are getting some kind of preferential treatment. They had a number of them on order, and they are going to come in batches based on when transportation can be scheduled to deliver vehicles.

Nothing to be sour about.
