Blue stickers can still be orders. If it says O/T 2 at the bottom, it is dealer stock. I have seen blue and green window stickers for orders.

In the Michigan area the only inventory that is actually sitting are Edges, everything else sells pretty quickly(1-2 days.) I wish I had Broncos sitting.

Getting to be more stock orders, many dealers are about through their reservations, and most are through the easy to build ones (softtop 4 cyl, etc).

I think it will reset a bit for 23 due to mod top , but after one quarter of 23 production, I expect most dealers to be done with reservations.

The 3 dealerships I drive by I have not seen a bronco make it more than 2 days on the lot before it disappears.

What is this?? Hopefully not a salvaged build. Looks like our bad titles.
Every time I upload it turns this color.

It doesn’t really mean the Bronco is available. That may be a customer order that arrived and it’s autogenerated as inventory. Then used as bait and switch.
This is the real deal comment. A lot of the dealers around me, Denver Area, have the inventory status linked up with the website. I called on a couple thinking wow, maybe I can get in one as my first week reservation still isn't being built. Sales guy explained it was an ordered/reserved one, and there is no way to get it off the website as it's inventory, just not available.

you may be right, I know some dealerships do this, to try to generate calls. I will never do business with those kind of tactics-drives me insane.
Uhhh they don’t have other Broncos to “switch” to.

The vehicle auto populates to the dealer website when it has been built or is in transit if I’m not mistaken. Mine is currently listed as inventory (or incoming inventory) at @StephensAutoCenter right now. Pretty sure it was explained to me several months ago that this a Ford thing and not a dealer thing. I’m not one bit concerned they are going to sell it out from under me or play games with the price. And who cares if they get a few calls? I’m happy with who I chose to do business with. I’m sorry a lot of people aren’t happy with the dealer they chose, but the info about who was on Santa’s good list has been out there for months. On one hand I hate it for the people that got screwed, but on the other hand I don’t really feel sorry for those that went in blind and didn’t do the leg work.

The only way to verify is the sticker. If it’s blue then it’s dealer stock. If it’s green it’s a customer order. I’ve seen a few blue stickers looking up the VINs.
That is not true. There were customer orders that had blue stickers.

Not very likely but I appreciate your imagination. 🤣

As you said, if there is no inventory, why would they do it other than to generate interest in sales?
