Dealerships in Florida

[Ford Fan 71]

My res is with Autonation in St Pete. I will be moving. I asked about the ADM and XPlan, they said there will be no xplan and we haven't decided on ADM. I told him, that's cool, I'll just move my res to another dealer that can confirm, his response was, That's your choice. Didn't seem like they wanted my business.

Thanks for the update on Autonation St. Pete. I called the Bradenton dealership a couple days ago and all I got was “we haven’t decided, but we’ll let you know in plenty of time to change your reservation dealership.” Yeah, ok. Sure, I’ll wait for you to decide what you’re going to do until it’s too late to change. Oh, and I was told they have “hundreds” of reservations. Haha
Thanks to BroAD, I will be giving a call to Mullinax. I wanted to give my local guys a chance, but looks like they really don’t care.

This may be a dumb question, so don’t laugh at me too hard...Does membership in Bronco Nation make us eligible for x-plan pricing?

I lived in Miami and Midway Ford was always a well-run dealership. I made one purchase at Metro many years ago and vowed never to return. Good luck.

I am confused. It is a well run dealership but you vowed never to return? Can you please provide more insight?

I haven't checked out Walker Ford in Clearwater yet. It looks, per the spreadsheet going around, they said no ADM and Yes if xPlan. I got the xPlan from joining the Mustang Club of America for $25. Decent hedge for $25.

Ford set me up with them, so I called Walker Ford. They told me If X plan can be honored $100 dealer fee. If X plan is not available on the Bronco $750 ADM

I recently moved from Massachusetts to Florida, it sounds like the state doesn't do anything to stop dealers here from charging huge ADM. In Mass you really never see this kind of robbery

They are two different dealerships. Midway and Metro. Midway was favorable and Metro not so.

Not to sway you but I just did a quick search on Walker Ford’s website... they charge $898 in dealer documentation fees; Mullinax Ford doesn’t charge any dealer documentation fees.

Mullinax Ford No Dealer Fee Difference

I'm not sure if any of you guys prefer any one dealer over another but I wanted to share my research with you guys...

Without naming dealerships, there are a lot of them with huge dealer documentation fees (upwards to $1,000) that isn't part of the sell price, won't confirm if they will be selling at or above MSRP, and/or including Additional Dealer Markup (ADM). I sent several days calling around to different dealers in Florida before the launch to determine which dealer I wanted to reserve my Bronco.

I decided to reserve my Bronco with Mullinax Ford in Kissimmee, FL. They have ZERO dealer documentation fees, give $500 over trade, and will be selling the Bronco at or below MSRP (no ADM).

They will also be accepting the X-plan if it is extended to the Ford Bronco for which the dealership has already stated it will most likely be extended on all production models (non-FE models).

Worth checking them out...

FYI: I'm only sharing this information to support the community. I don't work for the dealership nor am I getting/requesting any referral incentives.

The more Broncos we have on the road, the better plus it means more money to spend on extras

Hi Broad - just saw your post regarding Luis. I’ll give him a call. I live in Indialantic so Kissimmee is a quick drive.

Just called Mullinax and was told they didn't see why any dealership would charge any markup since this is a mass-produced vehicle. I'm getting ready to get my reservation transferred to them. I forgot to ask about doc fees at Mullinax, but Luis is calling me back shortly. I'll ask then.

I just called Luis. Nice guy. Confirmed they have $0 doc fees and will be no BS with dealer ADM. He’s also sending me out a Bronco Brochure in the mail today!

I’m pretty sure I’m switching to Mullinax now... I know we only have one shot at it though, and have until Oct 31st, but I do t see why I just shouldn’t do it now.

I emailed Walker Ford to inquire and told me they will be accepting any plans ford offers along with no ADM on Bronco so I had reported it to forums and was added to spreadsheet. I have a few friends that work there, so if I hear anything different between now and before cut off date to change reservation dealer will let you know.

Above information came from Walker himself through internet sales manager. It does seem like people are getting different answers from different people at dealers throughout the country.

They had asked if I had any other questions and told them no in the mean time until time to order, so if you have any I can inquire.

Id rather fly into Florida than Iowa from Jersey and hit up Disney and a few craft breweries on my ride back. Watching this thread also.
