However, anyone who placed an order prior to March 19th has a price-lock guarantee and won't be affected by a 2022 MSRP increase. If my July 13 2020 reservation gets pushed to '22 I'm still getting it at the same (below invoice) price I negotiated with my dealer.
I agree on the 2-door, just got back from the off-rodeo and enjoyed the 2 door very much! I did head bang on the side bar on one of the harder obstacles, need to watch out for that!
I don’t think 4 doors matter. My confirmed order was 1/23, first email was 5/22 for production of 7/12, then 2nd email was 6/22 saying order was moved up to 7/2. Have been stuck there in production since 7/2! I have OBX, 4Dr, 2.7, HDbump, aux, Lux, MIC top.
All I know is I’m driving the demo unit at my local dealership on Wednesday. I’m going to drive the S**t out of it since it’s not mine. Don’t care if it has 5 miles, or 500, I wanna see how quick the Bronco is. That’s what demo units are for. I hope you get an extended warranty with yours.Ok, so let me start by saying I NEVER thought I'd entertain the idea of buying a demo vehicle.
After sitting in and driving both 2 door and 4 door Broncos, I knew I wanted a 2 door for looks and for comfort. I'm large at 6'3" and over 300 pounds. The door pillar is a little farther back on the 2 door so my arm isn't against it at all. Whereas it is against it in the 4 door.
But, since I didn't reserve/order a Bronco initially I pretty much can not get a 2 door Bronco V6 unless I buy a demo or I luck into a canceled order at some point months down the road. Or I order and wait until Hell freezes over for a model 22 or 23 and I'm not patient.
So I started entertaining the idea of buying a demo vehicle. After calling a lot of dealers in several states, I discovered that most of these Broncos come with about $5,000 of accessories that the dealers say is "mandatory to install" which substantially increases the price of the vehicle.
I finally found a dealer that hadn't thought of someone putting money down and reserving a demo and that had a vehicle I liked.
We agreed on MSRP for the price. The dealer is getting accessories from Ford, but they are not installing them unless I agree to it, keeping the cost down.
The good thing is, the dealership has had the Bronco for 26 days and it only had 128 miles until last night (it's in the middle of nowhere and close to nothing). The dealer also said the owners suggested that once they have had the Bronco for 5 months that I might be able to take it and fulfill the last month of the FCTP program them get financing and buy it. This puts me at Hopefully picking it up December 1st or so.
I took it out for a couple hours yesterday. I'm even more anxious to get it now!
It's a 2 door V6 Outer Banks Lux
It matters, they have at least communicated with the 4DR orders and give options. They have not announced anything about the 2dr, just kept us in the dark and they have allowed MIC top demos to go to dealers. What is your reservation time stamp?
I ordered opening day, went to dealer 1/23 gave additional $$ for order. What other reservation time stamp?
This is crucial information! I basically discounted getting a Bronco completely because the protruding pillar was bothering my shoulder so much. But luckily I didn't cancel my reservation. Perhaps as I wait for a white painted hardtop, will also revise it to be a 2-door. Will probably extend my wait time even further though....hah
I originally ordered a manual 2dr Badlands, but after driving a V6 4dr Badlands last week changed my order to what you've reserved; a V6 2dr Outer Banks (non-Sas). Those MGV seats are wonderful, but got too warm too fast and it wasn't a hot day. Plus, I got honest with myself about all that rock crawling hardware after seeing it in person and realizing I'd probably never use half its capability.
