Dealer listing my not yet delivered Bronco for sale

[ChrisE]

Hi All. Day 1 res, 1st res at dealer, built 1/25, on ice mountain until May. I went to my dealer's website and see my truck listed there for $74k as "not in stock or on order." A lot of green window stickers there so I'm not alone, but wondering if anyone else had this happen. Dealer hasn't gotten back to me yet. And insult to injury, on a FB group, someone with the same build, built a month after mine just picked theirs up. So tired of the nonsense

It’s happened to a lot of us. Seems pretty common.

Well, at least you know what they'll want as an ADM

They said Msrp. I get it if they don't know if I will close the deal, but if someone offers the 74k, I'm f'd

Not if they have any integrity.

And I don’t think people are exactly lining up to pay exorbitant ADMs. The dealer may get it but I wouldn’t worry about someone offering to pay that before you actually go in to finalize your purchase.

Some dealers have management systems that automatically add vehicles to their website when a VIN is generated. So I definitely wouldn't jump to conclusions in this situation. My dealer has a system like this in place, it takes away all of the manual effort of having to remember to list vehicles on the website—it just automatically gets added.

It was extremely helpful to him back before all of these component shortages, but now it's becoming more of a chore. Since the vast majority of Broncos are retail orders, he has to remember to go into the system every day and remove vehicles from the website. If he doesn't he'll get bombarded with phone calls from prospective customers, and it drives him crazy.

A lot of dealers put stuff up that they don't have in stock. Don't panic. See what unfolds...

It’s been covered time and time again, some of the dealer websites auto populate when Ford sends the dealer the info on the car. Even has ADM preprogrammed.

Is it a stock picture or an actual picture of your Bronco? By default, when it ships, many have seen this auto-populate to the dealer website, but it was always a picture from the rail or stock pic. I wouldn't worry yet....
