Do dealers compensate for turning over Bronco after it is delivered?

Maybe. Before taxes, on each end of the deal. The days of flipping non-raptor broncos are fading fast.

Maybe even ask the other dealer if that’s where the vehicle your looking at what they could do ya for with a new bronco to offer.

I ordered two Broncos. Took delivery of #1 already. The second Bronco I made a deal with the dealership to keep the Bronco, but sell be a Bronco Sport for dealer invoice and give me a premium on a Ford Escape trade in. I am waiting on the special order BSport to be delivered to see if they uphold the arrangement put in writing by email.

And here I can't even order one so I can start waiting for 2049 when it would be delivered.... but can't bring myself to pay $55k for a base model 2 door either. heh.

Be a brother and help out someone on this forum. That’s what I did.

See this post https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/2-door-badlands-non-squatch-delivered-sold.41870/

Dealer got MSRP, a fellow forum member got a new a Bronco, and I made a couple bucks for my time (nowhere near $15k!)

Spread some good karma we all need it

I am posting this with some trepidation as I know it might frustrate some folks who have been patiently waiting for their Bronco for a LONG time. Nonetheless, I am curious whether anyone has any experience or information about the situation in which I find myself. I ordered a 4 door badlands with soft top a long while ago, and received word from my dealer that it has been built and is in transit to the dealership. During the wait, I made arrangements for another vehicle and am loving it, so I am on the fence whether I want to take delivery of the Bronco at this point.

I know if I choose not to take delivery at MSRP (which the dealer is honoring), the dealership will be offering it for sale with a $15k markup, so I am curious whether anyone has heard of someone in my situation who has been compensated any amount by the dealership to refrain from taking delivery from the dealer.

I ordered the vehicle with full intentions on buying the Bronco and enjoying the heck out of it, and my order was in no way intended to flip the vehicle and make a greedy buck due to supply shortages; however, my situation has changed and I am just exploring options. If anyone has any insight, I would look forward to hearing it. Thanks in advance.

Take delivery, mark it up 10 grand and sell it in a flash. Guaranteed somebody is gonna make money off it. Might as well be you.

Not a flame in any way, but why do you want to be compensated for something you don't own and you don't want? Move on and be at peace.

Some of you are missing the point... If you tell the dealer you are not going to buy it, but want them to pay you for it -- they won't. But if you sell the idea that you will buy it and flip it if you have to, but would rather save the time, money and energy by "selling" it to them for less--there is nothing stopping them from making that deal. Maybe they will, and maybe they won't. But if they can sell it for even $10k over, why not pay you $4k to go away? Maybe you make it more appealing by taking Ford Accessories instead of cash or something. It is worth a try and has virtually no risk.

Maybe for the pain and suffering of this horrible mess Ford has created? Maybe to offset what he might have paid to get one sooner? I can think of lots of reasons. Why walk away from something that might have value?

I think the risk is that certain dealers will refuse to sell to you if you indicate you’re planning to flip it

Once this is brought up to the dealer, you need to fully expect a negative response and for them to no longer be willing to sell it to you at MSRP. There is some small chance that they pay you money for a vehicle that they already own. If you are looking for a way to make money on your order, buy the Bronco at MSRP and post it for sale. It would be best not to mention this to your dealer. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Well, that is the slight risk I was alluding to. It's not much of a risk if you really don't intend to buy it anyway. I think it is all in how you approach the dealership. It could make financial sense for everyone, but they may refuse on "principal." LOL.

My brother had a supercharged Rover in Dubai. It stayed in the repair shop a good bit until he got rid of it before coming back to the US. I believe he had electrical and transmission issues.

I personally would take Bronco but would have never gotten Rover to begin with but if you enjoy it just pass on the Bronco as I don't think the dealer will give you anything.

Thank God, but they are not fading as fast as I wish as a non-scheduled res holder
