I wish I could buy someone else's Bronco they didn't want - but every single dealership I have talked to is asking 15-30k ADM. Amazing some people that are finding 5k ADM deals.

It sounds to me like the dealer is trying to make sure that they meet their allocation numbers for Ford Corporate.Hello,
Has anyone purchased a Bronco that someone else reserved but no longer wants? I have the opportunity to purchase a WildTrak that is on the way to the dealer from Michigan. The original buyer no longer wants it, because after waiting for so long they bought something else.
The dealer said they aren't permitted to sell it to anyone else other than the original party. They would have to purchase it first, and then sell it to me. It's annoying because we'd both have to pay sales tax, and the car would have 2 owners on the title before it has 100 miles on it (and it would be considered a used car for financing purposes).
Any advise?
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide that information. It is helpful.Hey Mark,
I have some information that may help. I just recently went through the situation you are dealing with. I was not a registered member of this forum until a few minutes ago, but have followed it for a couple years. I am a 10/3/20 reservation holder, placed order 2/22/21, reordered 10/14/21. I have gained so much knowledge from the fine people on this forum, that I felt obligated to share what i know. Like so many others I was waiting patiently for the day my Bronco would show up. I was starting to feel like it was going to be towards the end of the year (if not later) that I would ever see it. Out of the blue my salesman calls me and tells me he has a Badlands that is exactly the way I configured mine, only a different color, that another customer backed out of. Needless to say, I jumped on it.
What your dealer told you is partially true, they have a stringent policy from Ford (cni.dealerconnection.com/broncosalesmatch/docs/EFC09470%20Bronco%20Customer%20Name%20Match%20Audit%20&%20Integrity%20Policy%20Reporting.pdf), that they have to follow. I was able to find it on the internet. The policy requires them to match reservations to reservation holders per the policy in the previous sentence in parenthesis. Otherwise they are penalized. There are some situations where they are able to appeal the policy. One of them is if a customer declines delivery.
Please forgive me if the above document does not work as a link, i am old and not that tech savvy.
I was able to pick up the Badlands at msrp, that is the 2022 msrp, not the 2021 msrp, in other words $825 more.
The price protection Ford gives only applies to your original reservation/order, and I was not able to use it against this Badlands.
So I guess it comes down to...if the Bronco they are offering you suits you, and you can purchase at an agreeable price (preferably msrp), I would consider it, might be your only shot at one this year, depending on all the variables. You know; reservation time stamp, constraints, dealer allocation...and all that.
As far as your original reservation/order, it is still yours, and is tied to your name. It is yours to do with as you wish.
Hope that helps, and good luck.
Our dealer is not making it that easy for us unfortunately.I purchased one for my wife in December that someone else reserved and hen didn't want. The dealer just needed them to sign off that they were no longer wanted it and then I was able to purchase it.
Did you add those tires, rims and flares or did they come from the dealer that way?Yep… sure did. Picked it up 4 March 2022. No issues, hassles, or markups.
