Just missed a call from the dealer that she’s finally there!!!! Now I’ve got to wait he’s not back in until late afternoon tomorrow and need to see about getting off work and a ride to go get her…. (This dealership is an hour away so it’s not a quick skip over to scope it out tonight) Can’t wait!!!! I can wait for paying for it, that’ll be a hard pill to swallow Woohoo!!!!

Looks accurate

Spoke with the dealer today hoping to talk about discounts etc, I was excited but now it's not sounding promising, very frustrating. In some ways it's not that much, but in other ways yes it is! Both times I spoke with Ford marketing they gave me a certificate number that I was eligible for, the dealer said oh if it comes up on your sheet you'll get it....hmmm Then got through the red tape that I apparently had to do for the first responder eligibility being verified through the ID website, but it looked like in tiny letters at the bottom it said something like not eligible on Broncos, what's that discriminatory crap about? I don't care if it's a popular model or not, it shouldn't matter. Was also hoping since it's now last year's model to get something.....I seemed to be shut down quickly. We'll see tomorrow, I'm worried, I know it's not a huge deal in most ways but it's disappointing. It's the difference between getting a light bar or some mod I want or waiting for it. How about something for a year's loyalty....?? I am still excited but it honestly put a dark cloud over it all. Ok, rant over, thank you for listening
Anyone have luck with discounts?

For some reason I was given a discount on my Outer Banks when was previously told there would be a $2k surcharge? Who knows?!!!

I ended up getting some quirky-looking car cupholder coasters ($9.99 retail value) from my salesman since I had to go back to the dealership 6 days after getting the Bronco to have a scratch buffed out.

No discounts though! I also tried to see if they'd give me accessories instead of a higher trade-in value - that was a nonstarter since the Ford accessories are already a bit overpriced.

Was your discount $2,595?

That sounds about right.

I didn't know there was a first responder discount. Too late at this point. I hope it all works out for you! I hate that salesman cant give us a break. They act like they go through life without trying to get the best deal for themselves in whatever situation in life.

So far I’ve been bumped from any discounts and the friendly demeanor in his voice disappears when I try to ask about them. My last hope is the first responder discount but the way it’s going I’m not holding my breath…. And fearing I’ll get the final price with a bunch of fees. I need to go get the bank check soon so I need to know. He said he didn’t get my email last night for the first responders certificate number so I just sent it again, no response yet frankly you shouldn’t need a certificate number if you really support and want to show your appreciation the dealership should just give it, and it shouldn’t depend on what car you got

When did you put your deposit down? I put my $500 down in ‘22 just before the ordering freeze. I ordered on 3/27/23 when the banks opened. When I went to pick mine up, I was surprised to be advised I was going to get a check for a little over $2100. Believe it was because of the freeze.

The most recent delivery of the litter has arrived!!!! meet Betty (after Betty Grable) I had the best intentions for my list of printed check overs from here…. That went out the window when I saw her In between nasty storms here at the moment …. No hall no hail no hail! (We never get hail but it looks like it may this time!) but I wanted to get a quick post in for all you waiting
