Hey California, anybody got a positive review for a dealership with NO MARKUPS for their Bronco?

[LC4]

That's funny. It was probably meant as a joke. Why wouldn't they ask? My dealer asked me if I wanted to sell it to them, but we both laughed after I looked at him like he was out of his mind. He knew I wouldn't, but I don't blame him at all for asking. I'm in sales too. It's amazing how many times you hear of someone selling something for really cheap and all it took was another person asking.

You may be right. It was however, ill timed and not well received. The sales manager and I had already had an extended discussion a couple of months ago, where he blew a bunch of smoke up my ass. Either way, this isn't a dealership that I would recommend ordering a Bronco from.

Absolutely NO funny business at Norm Reeves Ford in Cerritos CA. Was a bit nervous in picking up the Bronco, but they made it super smooth and didn’t even try anything on me. When I even asked, they said “well of course it’s at MSRP, it’s your Bronco!” They we’re amazing. And last I heard, they were still honoring MSRP for all Bronco orders, which they can’t do for Raptor orders even.

This is really reassuring, I ordered with them about a month ago and they were really helpful.

In south Orange County, Santa Margarita Ford honored my Ford pricing even gave me a discount on the 2022 sticker to match the 2021 pricing! Great no stress buying experience.

How did you feel about Marcin's sharing of info?

I find getting answers about allocation and placement in line to be like pulling teeth when others are posting on here that their dealer are telling them details like what order in line they are, how many units received in a month and some approximation of build.

I haven't had issues with him sharing info, but I can imagine it is hard to deal with hundreds of Bronco customer questions when you are one person. Maybe a dealer with less allocation has an easier time with that.

No, it wasn't like you wrote where he was too busy, it was a causal afternoon and we had plenty of time to talk. I'm a retired flooring auditor for the banks and Ford Financial was one our top two clients, so I know how to talk to these guys and he knows that. I audited the floor plans and know how all this works.

I'm talking about asking the same question three different ways just to get vague answers and then having to careful reword it again using his last answer (like pulling teeth) because of his carefully worded answers to not to give any real numbers. I then reworded the question again just to get a little more info. After asking the same things five times, which were basically, where am I compared to others, whats the average number of deliveries, allocation, anything?

It seems like (because of my auditing experience) he was playing it closer to the chest because (my opinion) he didn't want me to decipher how many non reservation units the dealer was getting and just how many non-reservation who are willing to ADM are jumping ahead of us. REMEMBER Flooring Auditor.

The production rate and the take rate of the 2 doors seem to be closer in line now that they are producing more tops, but how many are going to ADM customers, 25% of allocations? One thing I was told is not having any added options that are one of the commodities will help my production date; it's the reason I'm not getting SAS. Which was the reason I went in, I was going to add SAS, but that could add a few more months and put me into MY23. Since they are producing more tops now and a lot of people have already switched to 4 dr soft top to get theirs earlier I was told I moved up, but not any numbers. I was told "if you want it faster go soft top", which the manual doesn't come with the base soft top 4 door and by the time you go up to a 4 door manual, I'm almost to as much as adding SAS to a 2 door.

So, I wait.

Kearney Mesa Ford is fantastic! Eric has made this process very delightful for me and a workmate (he’s buying his first new car)! However, unbeknownst to Eric, I have never purchased a vehicle at MSRP and i’m going to attempt to get a $1.00 discount just to keep my streak alive…wish me luck….

I wish you luck!!

I called around the L.A. area in Jan 2022 when I decided to order a Bronco. First dealer said "$5000 over MSRP to order", second dealer said they weren't taking any orders, third dealer (Norm Reeves in Cerritos) connected me with sales and the guy told me he'd be happy to place my order, would sell it to me for MSRP and that I didn't need to leave any deposit. I ordered a Base 4-door soft top with 2.7. My Bronco was delivered to me on 5/13/22. I ordered on 1/14/22. Was in shipping for three weeks.

I was a little nervous that they would do ADM because I didn't have a signed agreement, but Norm Reeves was on the list of dealers that don't charge ADM on customer orders. I got it out the door for $43,075 including everything.
