[hammerdown]

So they WILL be expecting an additional deposit at order time.

And how much is that gonna be?

Just trying to help you out. By all means go to the dealership on Monday. Let us know what you end up ordering.

How is a negative comment helping out? Please explain? I'm as baffled as everyone. But yes I'm going in and seeing what's a foot.

So it sounds like we'll be placing another deposit with the dealer?

And I'm speculating, but it sounds like they'll be allocating based on similar builds?

"Production of similarly configured Broncos."

?

I agree. It sounds like they will build similarly configured Broncos together and maybe you were early in the time stamp but what if you ordered an unusually configured Bronco...

Someone keep Mike Levine up to date on this. Since he seems to know nothing.

I would think the $100 is a deposit.

I have two reservations but only got one email , I didn't get an email with any info on my second reservation from a separate dealer. This follows the order of the reservations, so I wonder if later reservations will get later emails?

I also only received one email for my first reservation. I placed a second reservation much later but with the same dealer.

Sigh. Not being negative at all, you are just reading something between the lines that isn't there. I merely pointed out that the only Bronco that can be ordered is the Sport and advised you to call them again before wasting your time. But then again, your a grown man, so, do what you want.

And I will, they know what I have on reservation, I asked the pertinent questions and was still told to come in to order. When I order my Bronco I'll keep it to myself.

So it sounds like they will get built in order of who reserved theirs first.

“No worries if you’re not the first to place an order, as your reservation time stamp will stay with your order.”

Totally opposite of what the reservations page said. Reservations page said that reserving did not establish your receiving yours before anyone else.

I'm sure it'll be a typical deposit you'd make on a special order vehicle.

I wonder, if allocations in the future are based upon fulfillment rate from reservations, the dealers requested Ford to make it ok to collect a deposit. Easy for a reservation to be converted by anyone without more skin in the game, but IF Ford tied that to future allocations, I'm sure the dealerships wanted a little more commitment from the customer. If I were a dealer, I wouldn't want my future allocation dependent on the commitment of a $100 deposit following through to a signed sale.

I see both sides of this allocation debate that's been going on for the last week.

I'm not sure what to think about that added deposit statement, but we'll see how this goes in the next few months.

My dealer told me every manager there put 5 reservations In to make sure they get enough

Right on. I’m interested as to what will happen Monday too. Let us know!

I have to wonder how that worked out? Ford has lowered the price and also, first edition is no longer sold out. Did people change to other trims or cancel altogether?

I have a feeling alot of FE Broncos will get canceled if blue interior is the only option.

Yeah, I think it is up to the Dealer and their policy.

 

[regularbronco]

and the dealer (not FORD) is getting the interest for a year +. if the deposit plus market rate interest were taken off the bottom line, that's different.

Interest is like .01% so really will be losing $1.33, that's just unacceptable!?
