I just got off the phone with my dealership, they said I need to come in next week to order and that they only had 37 appointments available. I thought actual orders were taking place in December. But when I asked about that the sales managers said, "Nope, Ford has bumped that up."

I also asked about dealer markups and X-plan, but they dismissed those questions and said the sales rep will go over pricing when I come in.

For clarity I reserved a 2 Door Badlands, not a Sport. And this is Sheehy Ford in Maryland.

IF that was true, why waste your time going in if they won’t tell you the most basic info? Why... Bc it’s probably not the answer you want, so they can waste your time and pressure you into using them anyway.

Probably going to try and get a non-refundable deposit out of you.

They are full of it.

My saleswoman says they're not doing it until December, she'd let me know if it were any sooner.

Yeah, tell them you gotta bridge to sell first

:oops:
That makes no sense.
We've been hearing August (so maybe in a week or 2) for the build tool, with December 7th for the earliest orders. And that was for April deliveries.
Now that deliveries have been pushed back to June, it would make absolutely no sense to start orders even earlier (and before the build tool is out).
Thinking your guy is confusing the Bronco for the Sport.

The Build & price online will be up first and we are expecting it in August...

They stated that they would like to open the dealer order bank (actually get the process of building started) open in December...

And what are the 37 "appointments"????

Sounds like a ploy to get you in the door and put some money on the table...

We like most dealerships will be accepting the $100 deposit on file to process the order...

Just watch out for things...BTW my Ford contact said option pricing is not set yet...so no ability past basic pricing we have here online ...

I'm not asking you to waste your time with them but I am curious as to what type of scam they are running. It would be interesting to see what they offer as far as pricing for the different mid, high, lux and squatch packages. Remember, at this point you probably have more info than their "Bronco specialists"

That's interesting. You might want to stop by my dealer first as they sent me an email to come in for a test drive...

"Let me know if you are still interested in the 2021 ford Bronco. The best was to get to know a car is to see, touch and drive it!

It would be my pleasure to schedule an appointment for a test drive. Please let me know when you would be free to stop by."

I was gonna say it's my OC's birthday, but I created him 12/5/07

Anyway, I digress, back to the thread

Car salesmen....

Like was said, if they can extract a deposit out of you, then they probably get a stat for something.

I have called back, and told them I have a 2 door Badlands reserved, NOT a Bronco Sport and that really confused the guy, so he said he'd talk to the manager and call me back....

I'll keep you posted, but sounds like they have no idea what is going on.
