Bronco allocations released to dealers

[Zach@Granger]

Well @Granger Ford @Zach@Granger @StephensAutoCenter you going to break our hearts or give us some good news?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The true test is when the numbers come out in April or May after the orders are converted.

The allocation was about where I was anticipating things to be. There are some headwinds with a shorter production run, etc. But overall I think we're in good shape.

I'm not able to get across what I want to get across. My apologies for wasting everyone's time.

Not a waste-If you mean MY21 total allocations-yes they are most likely known.

 

[Bronco4lyfe85]

I reserved on 9/10 so I should be getting one sometime this year I would think.

It doesn't matter though. I thankfully don't need a car right now and it gives me time to think about what color I want (Area51/Carbonized Grey)

Huh? I’m like 8/7 and I’m not even sure I’ll get one within the first few months of 2022.

 

[Zach@Granger]

Oh!!!!

Hahaha.

That makes sense.

Truth-be-told, sometimes I see something @Zach@Granger posts and I get really confused because I don't remember having typed it...


Though, sometimes I do enter a fugue state and go on a B6G posting spree... so I don't waste too much time worrying about it.

Maybe I need to change my profile picture to something more differentiated to make sure you don't get confused. ?

That's great Zach. Are you going to provide any communication to your customers regarding the numbers? If it appears that someone might not make MY21, will you let them know?

For everyone who is okay with waiting: can I have cutsies?!

You get a cutsie. He gets a cutsie. Heck, even that poor guy that ordered in September and still thinks he will get his Bronco this year gets a cutsie.

But what in the heck is a cutsie?

Oh, come on man, I am cutting in front....cutsies!!

Like cutsies in line! Ya know, like jumping in front of everyone else patiently waiting...but cuter and more innocent looking!

It's all speculation at this point.

Just my simple math. The production capacity for 2021 MY is approximately 70,000.

There's roughly 200,000 reservations let's say 70% (I think that's high) convert to orders. That means half of reservations will be a 2022 MY Bronco.

How many of our reservation holders want a black painted top? How many want a mansquatch? How many wanted a painted white top? 2.7L engine? Etc.

There's so many moving parts, I'd hate to tell someone they're out when we could get them one. I'd also hate to over-promise without knowing I can get it done. At this point it's pure speculation.

I can guarantee you that we will do our best on the dealer level to treat our customers well.

No crazy dealer fees, easy communication and try to treat our customers the way we'd like to be treated.

This is why I won’t switch dealers just to play the allocation game. I wanna buy my dream bronco from a class act dealership ran by awesome people..
Thanks Zach for your openness and honestly
That’s all we can ever hope for..

Has anybody received any A/Z plan pricing yet?
