$2000 off Invoice on October Bronco Reservations at Granger Ford

[Gamecock]

So... your advice is spending money to increase output (requiring the additional and considerable extra expense for premium fuel that would be required over a lifetime of mileage) in a heavy vehicle where it will never be quick, fast, or nimble on the street and is geared so that it is arguably over-powered off road to begin with, as a fix for Ford's short sighted engine design. Whoops, I forgot the aggravation and expense of walnut blasting every third year with the mileage I run.

In addition to spending what the larger engine would cost up front to make the smaller one 'work' for three years, I don't see Ford offering the tune on the manuals anyway, they spec'd it to be marginal on the 310 torque rating of the 2.3 in my opinion anyway. If a tuned 2.3 would work, then a stock 2.7 would be fine as well.

While I am assuming you were trying to help, the 2.3 DI is not for me due to a number of problems (low RPM fueling problems with fuel wash/oil dilution and carbon build up inherent with DI engines.) If I am forced into an automatic to get a suitable (for me) engine, then I have a lot of options other than the Bronco, especially at the $50K and above level. The manual is what draws me to this vehicle, not the doors falling off or whatever, no interest there for me. Removable top? Sure, I would use that sometimes, but I have a convertible and a motorcycle already (for the 100 days a year I am actually home). This truck would be a work/winter beater for construction sites all around the middle third of the Country. It would get lots of highway miles during the week and local trails on the weekends as location, schedule, and weather permit. It would also have a secure container to hold many cigars. (the bike and convertible wind screens both block the wind enough to enjoy a smoke at legal-ish highway speeds)

My Subaru gets me to almost everywhere I need to be (6-speed manual), I don't need a Bronco, so I don't have to settle for what I consider to be crummy powertrain combinations.

Yeah, if I were you I wouldn't buy the vehicle...if it's just for the manual, no way is it worth it....good luck in finding what you're looking for! #rockthesubaru #itsawesome #dontneednostinkingbroncoIrollinasubaru

I don't mind being pushed to 2022. I know I wouldn't have been the first person on my block with a new Bronco under any scenario. Oct 1 res at Granger and keep my first one just in case. By the end of January 2021 I have to decide what res to use. Now with another $700 savings, what accessory to add???

If I swing an October reservation that gets delivered in 2022 can I make my reservation for a Plug in Bronco?

Hi everyone, my name is Zach and I am the dealership owner at Granger Motors. I want to thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating to our employee Albert @Granger Ford , the reception he has received has been humbling. He has done a great job as an ambassador for our company and will continue to be a resource to you moving forward.

I’m here today to announce a couple of changes that we are going to make moving forward. Due to some new information we received on Friday (9/25). We’ve had to make some adjustments to our business plan with Bronco. This will necessitate some changes moving forward. These changes should allow us to do a better job fulfilling the expectations that our current reservation holders have, allow us to accommodate reservation holders that are considering switching to us, and be able to continue to grow the Bronco reservation count overall.

1 – Albert is going to be moved into our “Bronco Expert” role. Not that he hasn’t been doing this full-time already, but we are going to take some of his other responsibilities off his plate. This should allow him to be a great resource to the Bronco6G community for the rest of this year and into 2022 once all of the reservations have been fulfilled. He has been an employee at Granger Motors since 1996, so he’s not going anywhere soon, unless he decides to retire.

2 – October Bronco Reservations at Granger Ford will receive pricing at $2000 under invoice. If you have make a Bronco Reservation that is timestamped in October we will honor this pricing. This will not apply to you if you transfer your reservation you previously placed with another dealer. To be clear this reservation is not for the early adopter that made your reservation on the initial reveal night or previous to October 1st. This is for the customer who is on the fence about signing up for a Bronco, a customer who is price sensitive and considering a Jeep Wrangler, or a customer who is willing to wait out the initial first rush of customers. We are looking to grow the overall reservation count of the Bronco SUV. You will not be the first person in your town to receive your Bronco in all likelihood. Delivery may not be until the 2022 model year. Ford has stated they will fill reservations before stock orders. But you will be at the end of the line of 165,000 and counting reservations.

• Does this help or hurt existing Bronco Reservation holders at Granger? – We are doing this to help our existing Bronco reservation holders get their Bronco quicker. The 3 factors in the allocation process are the number of reservations of a store, market size and Ford sales of that dealership. We can control 2 out of those 3. We are doing our best to sell as many Ford vehicles possible, even purchasing inventory from other Ford dealerships local to us to sell in an effort to increase our sales numbers. The biggest piece of the puzzle comes with adding more reservations that convert to orders.

• How does this make sense for the dealership? – We are selling these new Broncos like we sell all our new cars. We sell our new vehicles at or near our cost. We get paid a commission if we arrange finance for a customer, sell accessories, sell service contracts, sell the traded-in vehicle, and on work performed in our service department. Our dealership is in rural Iowa with low real estate cost, our land and building are paid for, and we do not have a huge fixed expense budget to cover. This allows us to sell things this way and maintain profitability at the store.

• When can I expect my October Reservation? Ford has announced that the Bronco has 165,000 reservations and counting and they anticipate 75% of those reservations to convert to orders. They have also stated that some of these orders may be filled as a 2022 model year vehicle. So based on that math, they are predicting a little over 130,000 Bronco’s to be sold already carrying into the 2022 model year and you should anticipate your order to be filled then.

• Why am I optimistic about a quicker reservation fulfillment? A Tesla Model 3 and a Ford Bronco are just about polar opposites. But that is the only reservation example we can pull from with comparable numbers. So let’s take a look at history with Tesla’s Model 3.
o Tesla required a $1000 Deposit and had a longer wait time initially for the Model 3. They announced a total reservation count of 450,000. Estimates on the reservation to order conversion ratio was around 30-35% for Tesla.
o Ford requires a $100 Deposit and a shorter wait time for the Bronco. A reservation count of 165,000 and is estimating a 75% fulfillment. If Ford were to fill at a rate similar to Tesla’s on the model 3 that is approximately 50,000-55,000 orders that will come from the 165,000 reservations.
o Obviously this is pure speculation by anyone at this point at what percentage of reservations convert to orders. But I am optimistic that our reservation count will turn convert into orders at a higher rate than the national average because of you the enthusiast at Bronco6G.

• Can I transfer my existing order in and receive $2000 under invoice? No, it is not our intent to steal other dealerships existing reservations with this offer. Our intent is to grow the Ford Bronco brand by aggressively offering the best deal on this new SUV.

• I already have a reservation with Granger, Can I receive $2000 off invoice? You will need to cancel your existing reservation and make a new one with an October timestamp to receive this discount.

• Is plan pricing in addition to this discount available? No, we will honor our previous plan pricing offer. But any plan pricing is completely independent of this offer from Ford. There is no requirement to qualify for plan pricing in order to get this offer as well.

I want to thank Ford for the great opportunity to be a dealer representing their brand. The Bronco is a fantastic SUV and we would not have this opportunity if it wasn’t for all the hard work of men and women at Ford who spent countless hours on this project. We are going to do our best as a dealership to fulfill the expectations of our customers and we feel like this is the best way to do so knowing the information that we now know.

You can certainly help us as a dealership by sharing this offer and information with whoever you know that may be on the fence about a potential Bronco purchase or that are scared at the potential sticker shock that Build and Price may offer. I have attached pricing information below showing the minimum savings this offer will give based upon trim levels for a 4 Door Bronco.

Bronco Trim Level Minimum Savings Off MSRP Base $2498 Big Bend $2897 Black Diamond $3349 Outer Banks $3450 Badlands $3560 Wildtrack $3798

Thank you for the opportunity!

I am on the fence of buying new with Granger or waiting for a new used (reduced cost). This is a fantastic offer and this business model makes me want to support Granger. Once B&P comes out, I will know for certain. Granger never ceases to impress. Great job guys.

 

[Heymking]

Maybe I was just spoiled with great customer service, exceptional product knowledge, and genuine kindness after talking with Albert from Granger, but after going into my local Ford dealership in Austin, Tx, and calling another in the area, no one knew anything, or even exactly how much the deposit was (“$100-500?”) ? So disappointing. If everything is able to be worked out, I’m down for a road trip to Granger to support their business and offer to help us out!

So will the link on your website be updated to reflect the $2,000 off starting Oct. or would that be too confusing for those not on this forum? If we’re going to reserve in Oct. how will we know we got the this deal...just trust that it went through that way? Not trying to be snarky. Thanks!

 

[SamR]

People also need to realize of the opportunity to build your rig to your specification at the great deal that Granger is offering. When the stock begin hitting the lots, a buyer will have a choice of what is on the lot or from other dealer's inventory to choose from. If no inventory matches what a buyer wants, a dealer can submit a build but there won't be a discount for accommodating specific needs.

That's actually a really good point that I've overlooked. Employee pricing, rebates, etc. Are always on new dealer stock. If I'm paying this kind of money for a vehichle it needs to be exactly like I want it not some random truck off the lot.

So... your advice is spending money to increase output (requiring the additional and considerable extra expense for premium fuel that would be required over a lifetime of mileage) in a heavy vehicle where it will never be quick, fast, or nimble on the street and is geared so that it is arguably over-powered off road to begin with, as a fix for Ford's short sighted engine design. Whoops, I forgot the aggravation and expense of walnut blasting every third year with the mileage I run.

In addition to spending what the larger engine would cost up front to make the smaller one 'work' for three years, I don't see Ford offering the tune on the manuals anyway, they spec'd it to be marginal on the 310 torque rating of the 2.3 in my opinion anyway. If a tuned 2.3 would work, then a stock 2.7 would be fine as well.

While I am assuming you were trying to help, the 2.3 DI is not for me due to a number of problems (low RPM fueling problems with fuel wash/oil dilution and carbon build up inherent with DI engines.) If I am forced into an automatic to get a suitable (for me) engine, then I have a lot of options other than the Bronco, especially at the $50K and above level. The manual is what draws me to this vehicle, not the doors falling off or whatever, no interest there for me. Removable top? Sure, I would use that sometimes, but I have a convertible and a motorcycle already (for the 100 days a year I am actually home). This truck would be a work/winter beater for construction sites all around the middle third of the Country. It would get lots of highway miles during the week and local trails on the weekends as location, schedule, and weather permit. It would also have a secure container to hold many cigars. (the bike and convertible wind screens both block the wind enough to enjoy a smoke at legal-ish highway speeds)

My Subaru gets me to almost everywhere I need to be (6-speed manual), I don't need a Bronco, so I don't have to settle for what I consider to be crummy powertrain combinations.

Doesn't the 2015 WRX also have a direct injection engine? Are you seeing these problems on your Subaru? I have an older EJ so I don't have any experience with the newer FA engine. I would prefer the 2.7 manual combo as well but the auto isn't a deal breaker for me.

 

[Used2jeep]

We will email you confirming pricing.

If we are x-plan eligible then we could have a choice of which offer to use? Even though the 2k is most likely the better of the 2.

Sounds like another Subaru would be the way to go.
The Bronco sacrifices a lot of hard top comfort for the ability to go naked. ( topless & doorless. )

I gotta be close. What's your number?
