He's on the ocean, no problem with top off during the summer like AZ.:cool:
Yeah, I grew up in the Central Valley, so I see "California" and think Merced and over 100 in summer. But the OP is right on the coast.

Yes you can, but it doesn't matter if he's already placed the order. He needs to figure out if he can move the order and I don't know if the answer to that is yes or no.
No, you can't. Once they stopped taking orders a month ago or so, it stopped the ability to transfer your reservation to a dealer. That's per a ford rep I spoke to a week after they closed the order bank.

I lived for about 6 months... Or should I say I ONLY lasted about 6 months in Visalia before I couldn't take it anymore. It was 104 when I got home from work and it cooled down to a "balmy" 95 to 98 degrees over night. But the smell from the dairy farms may have been worse, all I know is the combination of heat and smell was no good.

Funny you mention Visalia, that's where I stayed last night to go to the dealership this morning.

I think that area has some charm, it's not as bad as Bakersfield which is a total shit hole!

Yeah it's crazy hot up there at times.

Yea that charm in the winter made it look better too. I was doing audits from north of Fresno down to Bakersfield. Auto dealers, Tractor dealers, RV dealers, motorcycle, anything a dealer could get a "flooring loan" we audited. So Visalia seemed like a good central location to launch from. The 99 was crazy too, especially during fog, it is really bad up there.

Have a great drive home tomorrow in your new Bronco. You doing Cajon pass or cutting over to the Grape Vine?

I drive that route to see my dealer clients as well and the Tejon pass on a rainy day is like playing Russian roulette!

Apparently Vroom’s algorithm sucks as well…..Carvana put a 2021 CG, BB, 4dr Bronco with 4,200 miles, soft top, mid pkg, Sig lighting and $2,600 worth of tires and other upgrades
at: $32,561. Vroom came in at $33,000.
I haven’t checked Car Max because I don’t want to drive a hundred miles, but the market on Broncos is definitely going soft.
Its not going soft. You are looking at trade in value which is taking into consideration that the dealer is then going to put the real price tag on it and make their profit. The only way to know what the real value of your car is to look and see of there are any private party or dealers currently selling your build in your area.

I did some of my flight training out of Tulare. You could smell the cow sh** at 3000ft. No way I'd choose to reside there!!!

I had a friend at a dealership ( didn’t know he was there when I ordered) offer me a BL decently loaded 2.7, the customer backed out on for list. In Arkansas. I’m waiting. my dealer helped me with my son’s Bronco Sport. Another local dealer wanted $7k over.

Must of taken a lot of self control to pass that up.

It was but my dealer is close and did me a big favor on our Bronco Sport. Like their service dept. I also thought I would get a quick build. I hope I’m right. 2/17/22 order , 6/13/22 production week👍 Also wanted Area 51 and not a red.

Not crazy. I did the same with a Bullitt. Difference was that I got it WITHOUT the markup the first dealer had
