Hi New England future and current Bronco owners,

Has anyone on the forum gotten theirs in Maine yet? I've seen one or two around town. Just wondering how the dealer experience went. Still no build date for me but just wondering if people are honoring MSRP or not.

Ordered mine on 12/27 at Wiscasset Ford so I’m a long way from getting mine. The experience with them was fine but I had really done a lot of research myself, just used them as the medium through which to order it. I signed the order form with the msrp on it (exactly what I expected based on the build and price tool online) and I’m really hoping they don’t surprise me with any markups

Where did you see the ones around you? I’m guessing southern Maine? I live in Gardiner and I haven’t seen one yet.

Also, you’re from Maine and your name is Ben, so that’s neat!

Great to meet another Maine resident waiting for one! Hope your dealer works out. I went with Yankee Ford in Westbrook since I'm down south.

Can't take credit for being from Maine unfortunately but at least I can say I came here from VT.

Hope you get yours soon.

I am on my forth build date with a growing pile of accessories/mods. Dealer experience has been fine, will report back once built and delivered to dealer. Hopefully this one sticks and more Broncos start rolling into Maine!

I tried to buy one at a Maine dealer, terrible experience. Made a deal over the phone, drove 12 hours to pick it up, and when I got there my sales guy just kept insisting that before we could take it for a drive he would have to get me another pair of pants. I told him the jeans I was wearing should be fine, but he just kept saying he would get me some pants and we would take it for a test drive. I got frustrated and left :(




I don't know why he was so adamant on getting me some Khakis to drive the Bronco? :D

Wait, what? You could not drive the Bronco due to your pants?

WHAT! That has got to be one of the most absurd things that I have heard lately. Where was it?

Sorry, I thought y'all would understand the joke... Let me start by being clear and saying that this was a joke, and didn't happen at all. I was saying that the sales guy kept wanting to get me the "car keys" so we could go for a test drive, but I heard "Khakis" due to the Maine accent, and thought he wanted me to change my pants ;)

Ahh, I see. A play on our most excellent accent. When you speak like that everyday it's hard to register the underlining humor.

I ordered and received mine this past November from Ripley and Fletcher in South Paris. They honored MSRP. Contact forum member ProjectRally, as I am pretty sure he got his at Yankee.

That's awesome, Congrats! I have been seeing a couple here and there. Stopped by my dealer last week and they had just gotten their first 22' in.
You will see me cruising around Augusta with a 2dr EG hopefully by this summer.

That's awesome, congrats!

I'm waiting until builds are scheduled through June, then hopefully Darlings will refund my deposit if no progress.
