Is MSRP minus a Costco Auto Program discount around the best one can do on a new Bronco order (if they don't have access ot a friends / family discount)?

The last time I checked the Bronco was not eligible for the Costco program. On top of that you can't currently place a new order.

My local dealer confirmed that the current Costco Auto Program discount on a Bronco is $575, and that I can write up a pre-order with a non-refundable $500 deposit. They also will guarantee no dealer markup over MSRP. I was just curious if that sounds reasonable or if people are generally seeing better.

Non refundable deposit gets you locked in no matter how long it takes to get in... and we are only guessing the order banks reopen at this point in February...
Wait till the order banks are open...There is no such thing as a "pre order"....

I think what they meant is that they'd take all the information down and have it ready to input as soon as the order banks open (whenever that is).
Not sure what X plan does if the dealer accepts it but probably equal to or greater then costco.
I am D plan so can't really provide much input other then that saved me a ton of money.

I wouldn't give anyone money till the order banks are open. Why lend them $500 for unknown period of time... Heck, I am adamantly against non-refundable deposits and I am against any deposit actually. They don't pay anything for the vehicle till it ships.. Why should you?
I would probably fold on the $500, but not the non-refundable part...

How would I gain access to any of the discount plans?

Well apparently X plan is not available for the Bronco but you can get it through some employers, being a shareholder (I believe) and probably some other ways.

I wouldn't do a non-refundable deposit without a "perform by" date or you get your deposit back. If deposit is for a new MY23 or a refund should be in order. But if it's just a "pre-order" and no performance date, no way.
THis. No-way I am giving a nonrefundable deposit when nobody knows if and when the order banks will open up. Even if they do open up in February as speculated, there is no guarantee you will even get scheduled this year.
Since the dealer wants this non-refundable deposit I am sure he shared his allocations and current order back log with you so you can better make an informed decision, right?

The dealer will also need an allocation in order to deliver your order. Cool that Costco program is now working.
