Lucked into a Bronco

[Mason1646]

About a year ago we made a very late order with Granger. We are in the Des Moines metro so its nice having a great dealership so close (I bought an used F-150 from them a few months back - great experience). We ended up cancelling our order after realizing that it was probably going to be quite some time before we got our hands on a Bronco. Ended up getting the wife a Explorer in a momentary lapse because of a desire for practicality. It is a nice ride and she likes it... That is until we found an Area 51 Big Bend at a small dealership south of us for sale at MSRP. We are getting the TrekTop installed and wheels, tires, and lift are on order. Quite excited to get our hands on a Bronco so quickly and for such a good price.

Congrats Mason! Glad you found something you both can enjoy at a good price. Welcome to the forums.

Which dealer did you get the Bronco from? Congrats! We may need to do a DSM Bronco meet up soon. I have spotted 5 different ones around DSM now. There are surely more. Mine is on ice mountain. Hopefully will get it no later than May.

Fleetside Ford in Osceola. Great to work with. I love small dealerships.

Traveled through your area with our Bronco both going and coming to/from Denver after Christmas, our 3000 mile cruise. Always stay at the Hilton Garden in West Des Moine . Welcome to the club

I have been hunting endlessly for a small dealer with a random Bronco at MSRP. No such luck yet, but you've given me hope!

I actually found it on autotrader. The other good resource is searching inventory on the Ford site and calling up dealers.

I've been doing that and I chat with 2-3 dealers a day. But unfortunately there are SO many unavailable custom orders in the system, MSRP vehicles that actually have a 20k markup, etc, that's it's been really hard to find the actual available MSRP units.

If you want a big bend auto lifted 3.5” with fuel wheels and rx steps I know where one was. It’s msrp plus the lift tires and steps. I had a deposit on it but a OBX came available at the same dealer. In Michigan

Congratulations! I hope you post some more pics after your mods. Enjoy!

Congrats. That's how I got mine. By pure dumb luck I called the dealership roughly 10 minutes after they added the "In Transit" add with the window sticker to their website. Truck hadn't even been built yet. I was able to put down a $500 deposit and got it for MSRP.

Only time in my life I was in the exact right place at the exact right time.
