Broncos showing up at dealers

[indio22]

Thanks for the insight flip.

IMO I think Ford will piss many people off they hit the lots and get sold before the reservations are filled.

I'm diehard Ford so I will wait but I will admit it is very frustrating.

Absolutely there will be Broncos for sale on the lots or for certain orders before every single reservation is filled. Not many at first, but as time goes by yes. It's just the nature of production runs.

As the months add up, Ford will have extra vehicles from various productions runs, based on what makes sense in terms of factory utilization and parts. Ford even alluded to that in their initial statement related to reservations.

I doubt Ford will lose money and sales putting all those Broncos in a pen somewhere, collecting dust until the very last reservation holder gets her/his Bronco. Or prematurely halting production runs.

I think Ford’s going to be serious about the take rate on these. Not sure what first step penalties (loss of allocation?) they’ll do but they seem intent on policing it. Units showing on line is far different than selling ordered units like stock.

Can I get clarification on something please?

If say my dealer were to do something shady like sell all these canceled orders and be over the 20% allowed (which I understand is 20% per month). And let's say dealer loses allocation. Does that mean that people with reservations get screwed because allocation was taken away? Or is it MY22 allocation?

I'm just curious, because if that's the case, seems more like the customers get screwed, not the dealer.

If dealers are selling their demos can you blame them? They have little to no inventory to sell right now.

Because it's not a FE lol

Its whomever selling it putting first edition as the title to "justify" that absurd price

It’s a FE with a base photo. (E5F in the Vin identifies 2D FE)

Well if you want one here is how to get one in September.

This is their reply to me just now.

"Yes we will have a Bronco here soon. It is our demo and is available. It will not be delivered until September but you can fill out a credit app, agree to terms and put a deposit on it now."

 

[Dr.Detroit]

Don’t think so. They are selling them for sure

Catfished!

Selling a manny this fast is a one way ticket out of the bronco business.

Ford don’t really care just so long as money changes hand dealer won’t tell you what who’s and when, just hope they were priority builds

I should have wrote drive it home "By September", man I'm slipping.

Out of curiosity, I called a local dealer here in UT that had one listed for sale at 10K over sticker, and the salesman said it is their Badlands demo unit that will be there shortly. He said that they have to hang on to it for 6 months, but they will sell it with a deposit and not necessarily do all the paperwork, prior to the 6 months. I asked if they would be letting customers drive it and was told "absolutely not, it will just sit on the showroom". So I guess all their customers with orders are SOL, that were hoping for a test drive.

That's kinda rotten. My local dealer that I have my reservation with has communicated over email that he'll be sending out emails to reservation holders to reserve slots for a test-drive. I guess every dealer will do as they please. In your case, looks like they're gonna keep the mileage down for max sale price.

Any news is good news, probably won’t see mine until a year from now since my reservation date was in December. Oh well should be plenty of wheel choices by then and tunes well tested.
