Probably. Some of these guys don’t really care about the bronco or any car that isn’t on the lot yet. They try to use the bronco interest and blow it off like “oh you’re probably not going to be able to get one of those”, then try to sell you a ranger. That’s a classic move and only works if you know your audience.
Agreed. My take on this is that they realize that it's smarter to just move forward promptly and make another sale than to sit around playing a game, hoping to pat yourself on the back when you think you've "won" but don't really know because the customer got tired of your $h!t and won't call your slimy a$$ back.
Wouldn't be the first I've read about here. It's a good litmus test for salespeople. You either bothered to educate yourself or you didn't.
The last F150 I bought their they gave me sticker minus rebates on the first go and then came back with the second offer and they dropped the price about $5,000 and I was like ok let’s do this. They actually came in and told me this is the best deal we can give you. Which with rebates was about $10,500 off sticker.
One thing I was talking to my dealer about was that no matter what your reservation number is, the only thing that matters is your order number once the ordering happens. So once the order is placed the reservation number is out the window. Just be prepared if you have a build date and they find a problem in quality control and the affected vehicles sit in a hold status either at the factory, until the part is replaced or at the dealer until the parts are acquired there and installed. Not trying to discourage but that stuff happens and you have to prepare for it cause if not you’ll be that much more upset if it does. Just my thoughts because I’ve seen it happen.
Partially correct...
My dealer was great and told me they will contact me in December for me to order my Bronco.
Honestly, this process confuses me. I don’t know all the specifics with it
And this is a reminder why many dealers can't wait for people to order their vehicles and then, at the last moment in the finance room, balk at some outrageous shenanigans they will try to pull and walk. Then the dealer takes that Bronco straight to someone they know is willing to pay top dollar (MSRP+"market price" markup) without having ever bothered with a reservation. This is how they get around Ford's reservation system, and finding honest dealers who won't pull that $h!t is all the more crucial for reservation holders.
Never thought about it that way...
Again I say to all reservation holders: Make the effort and find a trustworthy, honest dealer. Don't assume Ford's automated, algorithmic selection of your local dealer based on zip code is going to be in your best interests. Call the dealer, ask them what their plan for Bronco is, and the more evasive or vague or downright bull$h!tty they are, the faster you should be running to another dealer if at all possible.Never thought about it that way...
How can a person live with themselves by outraging a customer for a few $$'s
This is why the Tesla model will probably come to fruition before long...
Like the Mach E you had to sell it at what it stickers for, Ford left nothing on the table for the dealership...?
