A similar issue existed here in Calf when the real estate market was red hot. Housing tracts required purchasers to be the owner occupants for a year. This was to avoid investors from scooping up the majority of homes for rentals which ultimately devalues the neighborhood. In California, this restriction is only enforceable for the first year. As far as automobiles go, Ford enforced the agreement on John Cena when he sold his Ford GTI sell you my house. Would you sign a contract similar to this basically saying “if you ever decide to sell the house, you must allow me to buy it back from you at what you paid me for it”? Obviously not.
I question the enforceability of this. So, were I this customer, I’d probably sign it and then do whatever the hell I wanted with the Bronco anyway.
Knowing that I had signed this paper - I would just be aware of that if/when I decided to sell my Bronco. e.g. advertise in nearby cities rather than my local town. To try to save the hassle of a legal challenge. But if push came to shove….I’d fight it out in the courts. Making sure to keep the local media informed every step of the way.
Nothing like a big corporation suing the little guy for a good human interest story - and some negative attention for the dealership that would effect future sales.
I got mine from Woodhouse, but at the Omaha dealership. I had to sign one.I bought mine from Woodhouse in Blair in June 22, I didn't have to sign an agreement, and I got MSRP.

Ford has been doing this for the GT
I know that. I did not say the documents are the same, but rather Ford was requiring screened buyers to sign a document saying they will keep their "special" vehicle for 2 years so they do not flip the vehicle, protecting those who want to purchase and actually own the vehicle long term.Ford GT document is an actual legal document, this is not.
I actually agree with having right to do what you want with your property. But your points seem a bit two faced. You're saying its OK for you to sell something at market rate ("to the highest bidder"), but that its not OK for the dealer to do so? If a dealer is agreeing to sell an item below market rate, forgoing some money they could have made, then why hold it against them to protect themselves from flippers?There're great arguments on both sides, I agree that there's flippers ruining for us enthusiasts, and yes, there should be a better way to weed them out. but I'm also don't agreed to sign a doc. telling me that I can't do what ever I want with my property. I fully intent to keep my Raptor, but if something happens to me and I can't keep it, I have the right to sell it to whom ever I want, and in this case, and any other case, to the highest bidder. which is exactly what this greedy dealer is trying to do, take it from you and sell it to the highest bidder.
