Mike Levine saying outright he does NOT care about Granger/Chapman/SAC

[lobbs611]

Supply and demand. Unless the demand goes away, nothing will change.

Maybe we should get the federal government to run car distribution. Fixed price with no dealer representation. Like they did in the USSR. That worked. Cars were 1 price and you bought direct.

I'd be perfectly happy to buy directly from the OEM andto the whole antiquated dealership model...

I would too. People dont really need to go to car lots any more. Most people know what they want then go find it. Where before, people would go looking for cars not knowing what they want and would test drive a bunch of stuff. Now its the complete opposite.

I swore I wasn't going to keep feeding the trolls, but you sound so hungry. How about you start calling other dealers for me, and if you can get a straight answer I'll buy lunch at any restuarant you want. You newbies roll in here, and think you know everything. When in fact you really know nothing. You have no idea that my local dealer wants a 5K ADM on their Broncos. And to top it off they are a small dealer that will now be affected by Fords new screwing they just gave us. You also have no idea that the mega dealers around me want more than 5K ADM, or give the line "we'll have to see what the market value is when yours is delivered". You think I went with Granger just because of the price when the price played little in my reasoning. But, I am no John D Rockerfeller either. I'm getting damned tired of you newbies blaming me for the predicament that Ford has put me, and many others in. But, go ahead and wallow in your ignorance if that makes you feel better.

not a newb. A lurker.been around awhile just didn't get an account. Also not blaming you for Ford not building in order. But as consumers we all help by not walking head first into getting screwed.

I didn't say it's the biggest dealership but calling it very small is crazy absurd.

I didn't say it's the biggest dealership. Woodhouse I'm told is the biggest in the nation truck mountain and all. If you want to see a small rual dealership check out of one in Lexington NE. Granger is anything but small that pic is just a tiny pad on the edge. I was just there and expected the small rual dealership, anything but l was surprised. I don't have anything against this dealership but there is no question they are trying to become the next superstore. Not all dealers can take a loss on vehicles in a quest to dominate the market. Ford is doing what is the most fair.

What does any of this have to do with Fords promises of Timestamps, and restraints being the biggest factors in getting your Bronco. Who cares how big or small the dealership is.

JFC… FORD makes the same money no matter what dealer sells the flipping Bronco! The dealer “buys” it from Ford, then the DEALER makes the profit. Not the mother ship Ford. They already made their cut when the dealer gets the vehicle.

This is becoming a giant circular argument of garbage.

How about this. We all stop and agree that it sucks reservation holders aren’t getting their Bronco in a timely manner or some buyers are getting hit with crazy ADM. Agreed.

Absolutely agree. ALL reservations that Ford was willing to take should be honored before stock. And people should be nicer.

HOW IT STARTED…



HOW IT’S GOING…



Do you see the problem with saying people should just switch from Granger, Mr. Levine?

Someone with "half brain" should have had warning bells going off that their salesman friend was about to screw them with a $10k ADM.

Here’s some more funny stuff.

Here’s mr. insider himself in August.

I guess he knows everything Ford except this info clearly stated from last August.

So, are you trying to discredit one of the very few here that actually provides factual info?

 

[Rahkmalla]

I tried pointing that out a year ago and the dealer got mad at me for my comments. The usual suspects jumped all over me. Here they are, still defending something that didn't work.

It doesn't work because Ford changed the rules. We're not "defending" anything. We're asking Ford to justify how they view changing the rules after most of the reservations is fair to the consumer.

 

[Mango&Moose]

I think the point is Ford changed the entire process from how this was suppose to happen

 

[Bronc-O]

Ford is out to sell cars/trucks. They dont care how they are sold.

At least you understand this much.

The only one here trying to discredit what he said last August is you and the many others claiming it was “always allocations.”

Because it wasn’t, it changed.

Its a new year. There was never any guarantee the rules would stay the same. Levine says 98% of customers will be fine. A lot of companies would kill to be able to produce that level of satisfaction.

More like 98% will be less screwed....
