My Bronco order is listed for sale with 25K ADM [UPDATE: turned out to be automated listing with automatic ADM adjustment]

[Ice Age]

Wow the craziness of the Car world is just incredible to say the least. And yeh my Bronco order which I ordered July first day 2020 is finally just days away to be delivered to my selling dealer and I see they have her advertised with ADM. Which already tells me once she hits the ground and my salesman calls me all excited about her finally arriving to only inform me she has 10k ADM. I will not disclose at this time who this is being I have purchased so many vehicles from this dealer and will just take the assumptions at this time they are just advertising her to have the back up plan should I not take her. I have a personal relationship with the GM and will be blown away if they expect me to pay this ADM. But at the same time wouldn’t surprise me being they charge ADM all the time to others and not so much for me. Interesting times and most likely mine will not be delivered until later in the month. It’s already been pushed out two weeks being it was supposed to be delivered Friday last week the 7th. But now its estimated the 18th or later. I am not calling them I will let them call me when she arrives and then see how they treat me and go from there.

Not at this time I do not want to start the Bashing of the Dealership yet. Let’s see how things play out before we start the Bronco Forum WAR

Late last night I was on Cars.com and even I was stumped and had to double check my vin and yep sure enough its her. And the dealership knows me personally so just really surprised they are doing this.

Don't think you will start a "war" just yet...they haven't officially screwed you yet...looks like they may be unscrewing the cap off the KY. Or just a tactic to troll for more buyers...get em worked up and then tell em "sorry we just sold that one...if you want I can order you another one?"

1-star review left!

Oh wait... What's the dealership name again? I may have reviewed the wrong one… again.

Here is a great read about Ford cracking down on greedy dealerships. Para 6 of the Service and Sales Agreement between Ford and Dealers ...good for us to know, and have in our back pocket.

don't assume your dealer is out to screw you. Many dealers are advertising Broncos as soon as they get a VIN and confirmation it's built. I would go chummy up to GM a couple times a week and be all excited that you know it's on the way. Don't say a word about the ad you saw. Make sure he knows......that you know.......it's coming soon. Go ahead and get the loan approval done. In the end deal directly with him......not some two bit sales manager or salesman.

I suspect some dealers automatically list any vehicle coming into their dealership on Cars.com, you might not have a problem unless someone else wants to buy the vehicle.

I'd call the dealership and ask about it anonymously, they may just tell you it's already sold.

I sincerely hope Ford can begin to regulate some of the conduct we have all been witnessing. Just because the dealer has the right.....doesn't make it right.

Unscrewing the cap? Pfft, they're putting the cap on, putting it in a safe, and then burying the safe to ensure it hurts as much as possible...

These systems are automated, they aren’t specifically uploading your vehicle. One local dealer throws 10k on special orders to limit calls, another throws up a sold picture. Waiting for the explanation seems like a bad idea though.

 

[iamchewby]

Pretty sure Fords system auto populates vehicles that are in transit to a dealership. Doesn't explain the pricing but would explain why it's "for sale" on their website.

I hate reading threads like this. Hope luck is on your side.
