Hey Bronco fam of Georgia. Just wanted to know if anyone has heard of any demos making it to the peach state?

Also, has anybody ordered through Autonation Marietta? I have had an absolute miserable experience with them and wish I could change dealers now. Have a early day 2 reservation but they have had absolutely no communication with me.

My dealer (Lithia Springs Ford) should be getting I their Wildtrak in the next week or so. Hopefully dealerships should be getting in their mannequins soon!

Yeah, i think i got real lucky with LSF as my dealer. It seems like the Atlanta area got shafted in terms of quality dealerships....

@awerk66 - I ended up with Hardy Ford in Powder Springs. Couldn't be happier with the communication and interactions to date. That said, here's my 1 start google review from 7 months ago with Autonation:

Don't bother writing an email to inquire on car pricing. Recently asked about their plans for the selling the new Bronco as some out of state dealers are offering incentives. The disrespectful reply from my FIRST INTERACTION with the dealer included the following:

In the realm of economics there are only two words...supply and demand. With limited supply verses demand price becomes the focus. This dealership respecting the trust and confidence of our patient clients will honor the A and Z plans. Retail customers will be MSRP plus a $699.00 Doc Fee.
Let the record show we have no interest in matching other advertised discounts from out of state Ford dealers.

Absolutely NO Interest in dealing with Carl Yarber nor this dealership. Easy and professional way to say the same thing would've been something like "we'd love to earn your business, however we've decided to sell the Bronco with the following terms". No sense talking down to a prospective customer. Let the record show you're not getting any profits from this Bronco buyer!

@g8rb8t At least they didn't write they'd go far over MSRP, but just another douche bag car dealership and salesman; get used to it! No shortage of shady dealers here in Georgia.

@g8rb8t yeah I went with them for convenience and truly regret the decision. Ended up going ahead and selling my vehicle I was planning on trading in because of how sketchy they are.

I have asked for information countless times and either don’t get the response, or get something along the lines of “things are fluid”….

Carl Yarber apparently deals with all new orders and is simply “to busy to provide any information.” I will never deal with them again, nor get any service there.

Yeah, from what I've heard, I've been very unimpressed with most GA dealerships through this. Thankfully mine has been great and is doing $500 over invoice.

It's no Granger, but I'm also getting built in a week. I would have been outside Granger allocations.

I ordered through Jim Ellis Ford, although it was something else when I made the reservation last summer. I've never purchased from this dealership, but they were respectable and assured MSRP would be the price; I'm perfectly fine with that given everything surrounding Bronco. When I placed my order in January, it was a simple process. I just shared my build sheet and they put in the order minus accessories such as the winch and roof rack and rock lights. This sort of raised my suspicion, but seeing that the winch won't work with the Lux package, making more sense now. They did say that they'd add that stuff when I get a VIN or install at dealership. I prefer my rack and lights come from the factory accessory center, so we shall see how that part plays out. Overall, I've seen and heard good things about Jim Ellis, but these were for his luxury dealerships which generally don't try funny stuff with informed buyers anyway. Take for what you can on this testimonial.

@BigDeal you can install the winch, but it conflicts with the forward facing camera, so you lose some camera function.

@BigDeal Confirmed- winch does not work with Lux. Ford rep with Wildtrac Bronco was in Augudta today. The adaptive cruise control is the issue. If Ford didn't sort out the camera then there will be after market remount kits that will.

I was also planning on getting the winch, so I'll wait until a front tow hitch is available and will install a hitch winch so I can swap front and rear...

@BroncoRob_Reignited Thanks for the info. Yeah, I looked into it some more and read the same thing. I like your Idea about the hitch mount.

I am going through Hardy Ford in Dallas, GA. Allison Brock has been great with taking my order and communication on my build. I am hoping the rest of the transaction goes well. I have had my F-150 serviced there a few times and they were very responsive and did a decent job.

So change dealers. Hardy is the way to go, their Bronco specialist Alison knows her stuff and has like 19 years in the business. My wife is the marketing director at Hardy so we know Alison on a personal level. She and her husband are beyond wonderful people and we could not ask for better friends. My wife and I can't wait until we all get our Bronco's and tear up the trails with the Brocks and everyone else in the area.

@TheColemans05 Is it even possible to still change dealers after you have placed an order?

@awerk66 I belive once the order had been placed, you are locked in. Maybe someone else can verify this?
awerk66

@BTomorama That was my understanding as well, but i am going to reach out to a few dealers and see what they know. They may be able to pull some strings for the business.

Do you have your VIN yet? You can change up until you have a vin number.

@TheColemans05 No vin yet, I plan on reaching out and seeing what they can do. I will report back in here if I have any luck.

Goodluck bud! If we can do anything to help just post up! Most local Georgians have been super helpful and kind. We're just one big happy family!
