Family friend in SW Iowa was driving by a Ford dealer and saw what she thought was a Jeep. Pulled in, learned it was a Bronco, and said “I’ll buy it now”. I wouldn’t be posting this if they didn’t say yes and now she owns it… First off: WTF. Second: she didn’t even know what it was! Third: Apparently the dealer ordered it to sell from she said. So did they use a Manager to get a reservation?

I also find it odd it’s a softtop. I thought only the mannequins got those up until yesterday’s announcement.

They sold their mannequin.
Most definitely it was the dealer mannequin as the WT can't come with a soft top in MY'21 except for the dealer demos. Which means they will lose 1 month of Bronco allocation and 1 month of Bronco Sport allocation. I hope the markup was worth it for the dealer.

Well ya that seems like the case. According to her it arrived yesterday. Unknown if she has to let the dealer have it so many days of the week for test drives. Dealers in my part of Iowa have also sold their mannequins with those conditions.

How do you do that? I didn’t want people leaving bad reviews.

That's entirely different in selling it and taking delivery or selling it with the stipulation that the sale won't execute until 6 months from delivery. Many dealers are doing the latter with no penalty. I have a deposit on 1 near me and I'm #1 at another dealer's demo in Alabama.

I’m glad she got it. Works hard and deserves it. I just wish the process was fair. 7/14 reservation holders having to wait til 22/23 and here someone walks off the street and gets one. A rare one at that.

Dealers will have Broncos for sale without reservations. Anything is for sale if somebody is willing to pay enough.

Good for her 0 fault on her end. The dealer had to opt in and agree to the terms of the mannequin program. Not selling it for 6 months was a big sticking point also adding an accessory pack that ford chooses. If ford were to find out they would either pull all or partial of their allocation. Which essentially would screw people in our position. Would ford let them choose another dealer? This would open a massive can of worms.
