Aloha Bronco6G’s,

I just had such a great experience ordering my new ram with help from their forum. I knew this was the place to start.
She would like an Outerbanks with the Lux package and a few others. She wants to buy at the beginning of 2023 when she moves to South Carolina for nuc school, she is in San Diego now. I have used the search function and have found great information, the first was x plan, I cannot seem to get the spreadsheet with dealerships to open.

1, Should she order now is the wait for an Outerbanks a year and a half?

2, She has her MCA membership. Can this be used for a car on the lot or only a sales order?

3, Recommendations for a dealership and sales person in San Diego and Charleston SC, that accepts x plan or does better?

4, Anything I forgot, please chime in.

Mahalo nui, Charles

Welcome Charles, a lot of us in the San Diego area are dealing with Kearney Mesa Ford and Eric Bunch the internet director, you can go to the regional forum California and find him on here, as far as how long it would take to get a Bronco for your daughter it's anyone's guess but a year and a half sounds pretty close for your situation, thank your daughter for her service, my dad was Navy and him and mom are resting in Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery 🇺🇸

Maybe @mpeugeot can help. He bought through military dealership although he is making payments on a Bronco stuck at dirt mountain. No x plan available from what I know on this forum.

My son was pressured into nuc but held fast for CTN. He is in Suffolk doing cyber security sh*t. I basically know what he does but not entirely. Navy E5.

Check out Stephens Auto Center in WV. 7 hours drive from Charlotte SC. I went with them for $1k under invoice. (NE Ohio)

Just make sure you warn her about the dangers of Carolina Squatters before she goes. We cant have anybody bring that back to the islands. There is just too many toyotas for that out here.

if she wants to get via a SC dealer, tell her to go to Dick Smith Ford in Columbia. I can put her in touch with someone. I personally know the owner. its 2 hors between charleston and Columbia

Thank you that might be the route to go, with wait to pick it up there after the move.

Fantastic, everybody on the ram forum is buying from Mark Dodge in Louisiana, still selling sales orders for 4 or 5% below invoice, so that is an option I was thinking about. Great for your son, thank him, way more honorable than anything I have ever done.

Mahalo, my father was in the navy too, that is what is so cool for us, she was just commissioned this May from the academy, he was a 60 grad. I will have her take a look there when she gets back to SD, in Norfolk for 45 days of training. Later

Bluffton is big money. We have several clients with homes there. Weather is not near as good as CA in the summer but Bluffton is beautiful and very high end. I live in the mountains of NC, I have a lot of clients who live in places like that for the winter and summer here where the average summer temp is 78!!!! The Smiths are clients and good friends.

Military Auto Source is not an option unless you are returning from overseas assignment.

I would put in a reservation as early as possible and convert it to an order as early as possible with a dealer you trust. Although she would be at the back of the line 2023 is a way off. I would consider one of the dealerships that have proven themselves on this forum as offering great deals and customer service (3 examples Granger, Chapman, and Stevens - there are others too and some will be closer than others).

Even if she makes an order in early 2022, depending on constraints, I would expect late 2022 delivery at the earliest, especially if she happens to want a hardtop. There are nearly 80k reservations in front of her. Make sure she negotiates a firm contracted price at the time of ordering, some shady dealers have been known to add additional dealer markups (ADM) at delivery.

Congratulations on her commissioning!

My sister is in Raleigh regional manager for Belks, I use to hang out in Cary (containment area for relocated yankees) my companies training center is there. and bought a vacation rental done in Bluffton, my Mom liked it out there got out of Danville for a million seven on a house they paid 89K for in 76. I have friends looking at the NC mountains or Scottsdale, very different. I will be in Scottsdale, when I am there my back is great, and one of my bothers is there.
