Dealer not selling me my Bronco

[Big L 65]

Alright, just like many of you that are reading this, I put my deposit on my bronco the first day I could last year. In May I get my vin and schedule for production. Fast forward to last Wednesday, and my Bronco is Delivered. Just like another dealer had advised me, I put the bronco on Ebay. Thursday evening I had a buyer lined up and ready to go. I was going away for the weekend so I waited until monday to have the Bronco delivered. Yesterday morning came and went without any contact from the dealership. So I messaged, and waited. Messaged and waited. Finally I get a response that the deal is on hold because the dealer is afraid I'm going to sell it to someone who "may" export it. I have a bill of sale, I have already done the loan at the bank and have a check in hand while getting charged interest on a vehicle I don't have. And I have the deposit on the Bronco. What can I do to get my Bronco?

You counted your chickens before they hatch. Should of waited until you took delivery before posting on eBay . Good luck

As has been stated early........
"If at any time the dealer determines that the customer does not intend to use the vehicle ordered
or sold for personal use or for customer’s business use (rental, commercial or government) or
that the customer has engaged in or intends to engage in the exporting or reselling of vehicles for
profit, the dealer reserves the right to cancel this purchase order or not extend any type of
incentive."

Yes, cowman, this. Not sure what the standard would be for them to claim this to exit the contract- a screengrab of the ebay listing with a VIN would be pretty rock solid, but simply stating that he told them that he was going to resell the car could possibly be enough. I have no idea.

Looking like he's likely SOL. I just worry about dealers possibly abusing this as an excuse not to sell to real owners that just want to take delivery and hit the trails. That's pretty obviously not the case here, though. And so here ends our fun academic exercise for the day.

So essentially you’re a scalper? Sucks to suck.

Lesson learned here, don’t sell something until you have possession of it. Also loose lips sink ships.

lol, there's a bunch of folks "scalping" here in the Vehicles for sale or trade forum.
Lots of GLWS and high fives there.

Also: If just interested in scalping, go to a scalping forum and stay clear of a Bronco or whatever vehicle enthusiast forum.

pretty batshit crazy.

Just curious how a bank is charging you interest when you have not used the check? Until the transaction takes place (ie. you give the dealer the check, its deposited, and bank has lien on title) the check is worthless. You can’t go to the bank and cash it….why, because there is no collateral. That’s why it has to be deposited by dealer and they place a lien on your title. Until that happens, no interest nor payments start.

Sounds like someone borrowed money the Tony Soprano Credit Union.

God I love this place......

Wait...you're upset that the dealer won't sell you a Bronco that currently belongs to them, because you want to turn around and sell it yourself to make money?

I agree. But on the other hand the dealer probably wants to make extra profit!

Lol what are they gonna do? They won’t even police their dealers.

Is this the OP's Bronco? If not, why report to Ford? If the seller already has possession, they haven't violated any rules. On the other hand, the bidders should be reported to the Stupid Police!
