Managed to get an order in for Braptor

[ryancasper2004]

I have been lurking here for a bit while enjoying the Badlands I got my wife last year. We were late into the Bronco scene and were well past the window of being able to order one. We managed to get a badlands at slightly over msrp. And have been enjoying it since. However, the braptor has been on my mind since I learned about them. Once I got word the order banks were opening back up, I started to pound the phone. After several days of calling dealers throughout Florida, I found one that had an allocation left. I sent him the build I wanted and he got it submitted. All he asked for was my drivers license....My concern is, he mentioned it would be over msrp, but could not commit to how much. Do I wait it out and see how much they are actually going to charge once it comes in? Cancel the order? Looking for some suggestions.

As long as your are not 100% on the hook for it if the mark-up is more than you are willing to pay, I would keep the order. Especially since you didn't have to put a deposit on it.

Florida dealers have some of the highest markups in the country especially on Ford Performance vehicles from my search. Good luck if there was no agreed upon price.

My local dealership has 1 allocation and he gave me first dibs on it. Spec'd it out the other day and he's submitting it whenever he can. Code Orange, Lux, MGV interior, orange belts. Guaranteed at MSRP. Sticker comes out to around $87k. He's guessing sometime middle of 2024. My sales guy is the owner of the dealership and a friend of mine and he's never lied about pricing. If i decide to pass it up he won't probably sell it for MSRP unless its another friend/family member. Most honest dealership i've ever dealt with in my 38 years

Just checked eBay motors and most SOLD braptors are going for about $10k or less markup now. And I now have two dealers in Oregon willing to sell me an allocation for $10k markup. It didn’t take much haggling. One started at $15k and moved down to $10k. The other I called a month later and started and ended at $10k. Still waiting to get down to less then $5k. I’m in no rush, my 2nd bronco is getting delivered in 2 weeks and I’ll play with that until then.

Here’s the difference 2 months makes on eBay motors. Let’s see what another 12 does.

For sure get a signed doc by them with the adm they are adding. I would ask if they would decrease that depending on the markup. That number is max. They were going for upwards of 35k over earlier but are going down now. You don’t want them to charge you 25k over, you don’t take it, you just gave them another car to sell to someone who might not be as smart as you.

Back in Jan I placed an order with in writing agreement at $10k over sticker with fully refundable deposit. Dealer said they had allocation and that it would be built in 2023, just no idea when.

About a week later I found one already scheduled for Feb build. Also at $10k ADM. It was Black instead of my preferred HPR and had about $4k in options I wouldn't have picked. In the end, went with the old 'bird in the hand' approach. Figure I can always trade it in on the HPR one if/when it's built.

The HPR was only recently scheduled for build in May. But when I asked about the price protection that apparently should be available since my order was signed prior to 2/9, the dealer is not committing to any price protection. So with recent $4800 in price increases, I have a feeling it'll come out to be almost $15k over the sticker price at time I placed my order.

Now I'm very glad I went with the black one. It was held up in Production for a few weeks but will be at dealer next week. Even with $4k in options I wouldn't have picked, it's going to cost less than the HPR after the price increases. And I'm coming around to liking the Black better than HPR

I asked him how much over msrp, he said they couldn’t guarantee due to the market. Says it depends on the market when it comes. I haven’t signed anything as of yet. Supposed to be getting a document today he said. We will see. At this point, I think I’m just going to back out.
