I think these were reservations they had never heard back from and they turned them to orders to add them to their lot. If you don't want to believe me, fine. If other people are interested, just give them a call and check it out.
Thank you for sharing. I’ve seen other dealers in SoCal do the same.

The ADM should be a crime. I just confirmed with my dealer today that there was no ADM.....They actually knocked off $800 from the price because we are repeat customers!

That was very smart of them if thats the case.
It was obvious to everyone at order time that dealers were putting in abandoned orders just to get the allocations up. We will likely never know how many of the 67% ish number of conversions were actually real. I would guess maybe half, but there was never any doubt after last March that the dealers were going to have no shortage of 'abandoned' orders to sell.

Something's not adding up here. A Ford dealer who currently only has 55 units on the ground (yes, I know current stock is very low) somehow has 8 Broncos to sell? Many dealerships have yet to receive a Bronco and many large dealerships have not received this many. And this guy happens to have 8 that he can sell off the lot?? Framed with what we know about allocations and current constraints and, while I am not going to call BS, I am going to say: pics or it didn't happen. Surely you took pictures of all these Broncos for sale, right? Oh, and 15 of those 55 units for sale are Sports, sooooo....

Supposedly they were only allowed to change the name (reservation to sale) on 20% without a penalty from Ford. 1 in 5 is probably plenty.

I've been Bronco hunting every dealership in VA and MD... They can't sell any Broncos unless they are selling the Broncos that weren't picked up or purchased on reservations. So if this is true those were a lot of canceled reservations. I left a dealer that turned down someone trying to pay 60k over sticker on a Wildy.. But this seems wrong to me but they want to make money.. not put smiles on our faces. They'll sell in a minute before I get my reserved Bronco in 2034.

Yeah, so by that standard, this dealer most likely just wiped out months of future allocations if he sold 8 off the lot to non-original reservation holders.

OP, I am going to need you to pick out the Bronco you sat in and allegedly ordered from the line up below:

If you want some real fun, go to CarGurus.com or AutoTrader, etc. Search on a new Bronco. Car Gurus was actually saying "Good Deal" 5000 below market or something like that for Big Bends priced @ $70,000. Joke you not.

No doubt, I called the KY dealer that had an AMB base auto for $38,000 + on their website and he said that it wasn't even on site yet, that it was probably sold and just muffled when I asked him why it was marked up if it was an order.

You seem to have lots of time. Instead of ridiculing people, call the dealership and check the facts.

I was on autotrader and I found this in Cincinnati, Oh if you're interested. They have a Base for $37+k and a BB for $39+k
They also have 3 WT and a BL for sale.

There is also this place that claims on their website to have 75 Broncos (and no, not Sports). I can't see how this can be true, unless most of them are on order and not actually there.
