Thank you for the support! I really appreciate the business and the shout outs!I want to give a shout-out to forum member and salesman @JoshuaPrieto at Avis Ford Southfield Mi. I've been watching the site for a long time, but never put in a reservation. I finally ordered my truck in February-22. My local dealer said it could be as long as a year before it gets delivered, so I started calling all around looking for anything that was available to hold me over.
This is where Josh comes in. He placed a note in the sponsor marketplace that he had a few dealer stock units being built on 3/15 and would sell them at MSRP. I jumped at the offer and picked the Race Red OBX High Package 4-door soft top, 2.3l. Avis ford is just 20 some miles from the factory and does a really high volume nation-wide. Josh reserved my Bronco with ZERO DOWN! Just a copy of my drivers license and my word that I was serious.
When the Bronco came in, we handled all the paperwork digitally. Loan, purchase, warranty offer, everything was done before I got to the dealership. I flew into Detroit on a one way ticket, Ubered to my hotel. Had a few beers and went to bed with the night before Christmas feelings like a kid! LOL.
The next morning, I took another Uber over to the dealership to meet with Josh and finalize the paperwork. I was literally in my Bronco and ready to go in 15 minutes!
Then I had a fantastic 10h "break in ride" to learn my new Bronco! I would do this over and over and over again! If any of you out there are in a similar situation (build still a year out), think about getting something to hold you over. And definitely call Josh!
Oh... I hope he doesn't mind me saying, but they will have strong Raptor allocations too. I heard five at least. Those likely wont go at MSRP, but it might be worth a call to Avis Ford and @JoshuaPrieto!
Thanks Man!
