Incorrect. All these vehicles auto populate. I had to tell my Marketing Manger to take ours down as not upset the folks that can't look past a window sticker.

It will not show the window stickers when you click the see window sticker option!

I just took the vin and checked through Ford's little window sticker retriever that I get to use for working at their dealership. All of them are green window stickers. All 7 of them.

I thought the website pulls over every unit that's been charged to the floorpan. These are likely not stock units, but rather just units that are technically in inventory, but not delivered yet. As with most things, I'd expect the dealer to gain possession at the factory and not at the dealership.

All manufactures should allow direct orders.
Give the Dealership a required Delivery/Prep Fee built into the price via the Manufacturer.
Then let the dealerships survive as Service Stations.

Every manufacturer would love to sell direct. Some would do so tomorrow. Unfortunately, a maze of laws in many states would keep them from being very successful with it.

Just called them and they said they have not been built yet or they are special orders. I asked why they are advertising them for sale then and he wouldn't give me an answer!

Their websites auto populate with these listings when VINs are created... even if they are customer's orders.

We really need to stop freaking out about these things... even if they *were* for sale, with ADM... it's happening folks. Dealerships are going to start selling Broncos to people. That's exactly what we've been waiting and wanting for the past 12 months.

No sense in getting apoplectic over it.

So irritating! I'm trying to assume that they are people's orders, and they are listing then incase the people fall through on their purchase. Funny thing is you can't see the window sticker! So it is hard to say what they actually have compared to the price!

These are not for sale. These are a mix of customer orders and demo units. I have a bronco on order with Lithia. Talk with them all the time.

Ford has that process, the x plan except when they decide to not allow it.

I had a good talk with my dealership on Saturday, which was the one that allegedly had a bunch of orders up for the public. First, the listings are auto-populating, even for the mannequins. Also, some dealerships, mine included, had orders cancel. When that happened they contacted existing reservation holders to see if they wanted to change their build to take the cancellation, i.e., the canceled orders were only available to reservation holders, not the general public. I have a 2dr WT and staring into the abyss, but I think a lot of this just reservation holders panicking (myself included, hence the dealership visit). Of course, this isn't all dealerships and some are exploiting a situation, but, in general, I wouldn't make too much of a website having a listing.

I'll be swinging by there tonight myself.

lol....and every picture is taken in the same exact spot at a rail yard.....more stealership BS. Cant see the window stickers because probably NONE of them have been built yet.

with the same clouds - the same clouds that can be found in the other shot in front of a generic dealership.
