Dealers getting demos. Will we get notified by Ford?

[Fat dog]

After seeing pics from some dealers get a bronco in for a short while, I’m wondering about the demos. When demos start rolling out, is it on the dealer to inform anyone that they have a demo or Ford. I would like to know as a buyer if there is one at my dealer to see. But also, Ford with the whole allocation business, knows the email address of the buyers of the dealer they are sending a demo to. Just curious if it’s on me to keep pestering my dealer for info on a demo

If you have to ask your dealer for a head's up more than once when you can take a drive in it, you chose the wrong dealer...

You got a point there.

Keep asking your dealership, Ford isn't going to send an email to tell you when they get their demo.

I bet the regional forums will be popping with which dealer has which model/trim/options as soon as they start showing up.

It'll be interesting what dealers choose to do with test drives. My guess is they won't allow them to anyone off the street. They'll probably want to sell their demo unit as new as quickly as they can without penalty.

But worst case scenario is you'll likely be able to see/take pics/sit/touch stuff which I'm happy to take. As a Chapman buyer I'm going to have to pretended I don't already have a submitted order 300 miles away though because I wasn't getting what I wanted locally.

"Oh hey, welcome back, didn't we already order your bronco?"

"Nope must have me mistaken for someone else! I'm just here to check out this new ford wrangler my friend told me about"
