I reserved a bronco a few months ago and was instructed by a dealer in central Florida to wait until the MY22 banks open up to convert my reservation to an order since I told him I wanted a 22’.
This morning Iwas going to submit the order online, but to decided to text him to confirm pricing since I’ve read the horror markup stories (He said I would pay sticker) so hopefully a text is proof enough if they try the bait and switch.
When I told him I was ready to order online he says “Ford is no longer allowing online orders“ so I‘d have to come in to the dealership. Not true at all, which I assumed was an honest mistake because this process has proven to be complicated to the point the dealers often aren’t clear on bronco info. So I sent him a screengrab showing my build and asking for a $500 deposit to submit my order. He then replies “You live far away, right? When can you come in?” Yes I own two homes one in Florida, one in Virginia, and rent an apartment in Seattle. I travel a lot and now it seems like it wasn’t misinformation and he lied to get me to come in instead of submitting the order online.
Anyone know what This tactic may be about?
