HELP! Am I making a mistake?

[‘21OBX]

So long story short I’m a reservation holder from 5/21…. Seems like it’s been forever but not as bad as most. I have a cyber orange, 2.7, lux, mic, MGV squatched badlands on order and have seen no movement on it, dealer won’t even tell me how far back the line I am.

I had another dealer friend contact me today and said he had an reservation holder drop out and has a Cactus grey, 2.7, lux, mic, leather, tow, squatched badlands he can sell me for 5k over msrp of 63k.

am I crazy for wanting to drive to my dealer for this right now?

did I mention tow?

Keep in mind with leather you loose the wash out floor if that’s something you were looking forward to.

And so you know, your reservation date means nothing at this point. Your order date matters.

It would be breaking news if order date takes precedence. Reservation timestamp is still very much in play but constraints and dealer allocation are more the deciding factor if one gets scheduled or not.

And reservations can't be transferred anymore either.

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.

Agreed but ultimately I can get nice rubber floor mats and effectively do the same thing. I like the idea of washout but I'm sure I wouldn't use it very often. I've survived without it in my 4runner and have been ok. On the plus side I get cup holders for my kids.

Ask Ford to transfer the reservation to the dealer you're buying from and then ask for less of an ADM!!





See I'm smart. Smart AZZ.

New orders and transfers are locked right now. Not a bad idea if they open it though.

I guess I'm the Fake News! Love it! I did know the orders were locked.

Thanks!

DO IT! And then when your Bronco order comes in either sell the CG or Cyber Orange Bronco! Shit, You know resale is peaking so I am sure you would recover your investment! That's what I would do.

This is a fun thread. We have to start arguing ASAP.

Buy it. You can always keep your reservation/order get it when it come in and sell/trade this one in. . In the mean time you have a Bronco to drive.

63k for a Bronco is nuts. But go ahead and do it, otherwise someone else probably will. Sooner Ford burns through you guys, the sooner prices drop down to normal.

I sure hope you have a real use for the off-road capability though, else that's a lot of money to spend for play acting on pavement.

The BL is no more capable than any other similarly equipped Bronco (Sas, 2.7, full bash plates, steel bumper, etc.) with the exception of the swaybar disco button, which is more of a convenience than a capability since it can be disconnected or removed from any trim in order to aide articulation. And the $63k is not all for capability….it’s mostly for all the goodies attached (Lux, leather, MIC, Tow, etc.,)
And why you or anyone else would concern yourself with someone’s else’s plan for utilizing the rig they paid for continues to baffle me.

Post pics when you pick it up

Sounds like a great rig and decent deal!

I paid $4K ADM but was able to get them to go $2K higher on my trade. That way the Sales Team looks good to the ownership for getting an ADM, but giving me a higher trade splits the difference.

he has PLENTY of places to off-road close to home. I wish I had a quarter as many.
