🛠 12/13/21 Build Week Group

[Elevator Man]

Anyone else out there taking delivery at Fairfield Ford in CA? I think there are 3 of us. Bronco Bill and first 2golast2no. Looking at the spreadsheet from page 1 of this thread, I think we are all getting them in the same shipment. My eta is 1.15.22 on one of the Ford trackers and 1.9.22 through 1.15.22 on the other. Wondering if anyone else delivering to the same dealer is tracking the shipment? I'm not but if you are, can you give an update? Also, I was promised multiple times no ADM and don't have any reason to think otherwise from the dealership, but please let us know if they try anything funny.

Shipped since 12/31, coulda driven from Michigan to Louisiana by now

Sitting just outside Chicago , 3 Hour drive, been built for weeks ....still waiting , this is arguably worse than waiting for the initial here is your VIN# and build week email. Very frustrating knowing it done and sitting there so close .

agreed. I’m going hunting Thursday-Sunday night. I anticipate a call from the dealership while I’m in the stand. Gonna piss me off

I texted my dealer yesterday, as some of you have received no shipping email or info and had your Bronco show up....but unfortunately he said mine is staged awaiting shipping. Ugh....I did do they financing and only had a small hiccup with Ford's extended warranty (a little info from a friend at another dealership helped tremendously) but when presented with the "this is BS" they rectified that......I heard the finance guy mumbling something to my sales guy but I clearly heard him say "No....This is an Order" so I think some ADM monkey business may have been considered but My salesman seemed to have done right by me! I guess a little good news will help us keep the faith.

What I’ve found is that once financing is done, the order is complete. No more tracking. Takes a few days, but tracker stops working. Even if no delivery.

Heading out in an hour to pick ours up. Shame it's started raining here in DFW. No top down action this morning!

How long did yours sit at Alliance before being trucked to your dealer?

Is there a 12 step group or something to get off of these things, or do you just have to go cold turkey?
I suppose it won’t be too bad if you’ve got your Bronco, but if not it could be a rough time!!!

No lean holder. I'm just worried about timing for the check to clear.

when I worked at CarMax & someone sold their car we would cut them a Wells Fargo certified funds check for the amount of the positive equity. You should technically be able to cash that at your bank or any local bank

When selling a car to a 3rd party like CarMax or what ever should I have them make the check out to Ford? Funny enough, I have never traded in a car (or sold it to a 3rd party) last car was totalled in an accident, car before that was kept and given to my daughter...

You could it make it easier on you and take the CarMax or KBB quote straight to your dealer and see if they’d match it. That’s what I did with my last car. If they won’t match it, just take the money from the buyer and use it as downpayment. Most dealers will match as they figure they can make some extra cash on your old car.

Just got back from the dealership, without my Bronco (but it is so close!) and they are matching my Carmax offer!! Mine could be here later today but definitely Monday, we're thinking! While I was there, they had just unloaded 2 Badlands and I got to check them out.. so in love! Can't wait to see mine!

 

[ActMoritz]

I give up on waiting.... starting to prep a few things ..... Heck bronco was supposed to be here before theses showed up.... You would think for what these cost they would have came assembled...

I too am getting my Bronco from Ford Fairfield. My shipping hasn't gone as smoothly as I had hoped The tracker finally posted “built” but my January 15th estimated delivery date changed to Jan 22nd….I contacted the dealership to confirm and they verified the bronco was in fact built was was still awaiting shipment and a fail car was still not assigned. So I think I’m just going to have to accept I won’t be receiving my bronco before the 22nd. But to put your mind at ease, I too was told there would be no ADM on my Bronco purchase.

Noticed this cool little extra while getting gas today.

I think they did that because we'll be spending a lot of time at gas stations.
