I’m on the bubble as a 7/15 reservation holder. So I’m likely going to miss out on a 2021 at my dealer because of allocations — but not because of my overall reservation order across the nation. That doesn’t sit right with me.
But, it also seems to fit the definition of ”anti-competitive” behavior. Basically, by giving all dealers an allocation of Broncos, they have reduced each dealer’s need to compete for reservation holder dollars. And, as a result, many (except the good folks at Stephens, Granger and others) do not have to compete on price and can sit back and charge MSRP or greater for someone to get one of their allocations.
Here’s the definition I found of anti-competitive practices:
Anticompetitive practices refer to a wide range of business practices in which a firm or group of firms may engage in order to restrict inter-firm competition to maintain or increase their relative market position and profits without necessarily providing goods and services at a lower cost or of higher quality.
Bingo.
Any Bronco6G lawyers out there have an opinion on this?
