My First Edition Bronco Finally Arrived....DAMAGED! 😤

[rugbysecondrow]

So long as it is sold as "new", then I would have them fix it. Stuff happens, you get it fixed and move on.

I spoke with a car transport driver when having one of my cars shipped. She said damage like that is 99% of the time from low tree branches hanging over the roads. It's partly on the driver to avoid stuff like that, but it's also on the local governments to maintain the treelines.

If this happens to my Badlands my wife would stab me if I didn't take the Raptor. In your case with it being an FE I would make them fix it. I would just hate it showing up on Carfax.

I know, that's what I'm concerned with. I didn't even drive it yet and it already has the Carfax black eye!

I would take the F150 Raptor in the intermediary.

It wont have that issue if its fixed by the dealer prior to possession. I think the only place it would show up is on the Ford oasis report.

Honestly? That’s bullshit, sorry that happened to you. I’d be as frustrated as you are. I’d let them fix it, it’s a limited edition and it doesn’t look that bad. You’re going to kick yourself if you walk away because you know you want the Bronco. It’s still bullshit.

Any dealer worth a ” sheet” will offer a discount. The waving of the $1400 shipping cost would be the minimum. Honestly, that repair is nothing. Nothing structural about that. Getting a new windshield may take some time though. My sons 2018 Mustang GT was rear ended. Minor damage, but it has been in the Ford body shop for over a month because they couldn’t get the parts. My dealer had a Mach 1 arrive with driver side quarter panel damage. They fixed it and offered it for sale $2500 under sticker. If they had never told me it was damaged I would have never known. Don’t let your feelings get in the way. Have them fix it.

Keep it. You know how impossible these are to get your hands on. Grab a discount and run. A year from now you will fully forget the pain you feel today. And the year after that your resale valve will be twice as high as any big bend they try to stick you with instead. I'm sorry for your pain.

Ford needs to fix these delivery issues and take better care of these vehicles.

1500 Delivery fee for this crap to happen...

Listen, this sucks, I get it. No one wants to get a damaged vehicle.

Let's stop acting like they're just slinging these things around like they don't give a sh!t. Over 99.9% of vehicles get to destination unharmed and even that is unacceptable to both the auto makers and the major shippers.

I'm sitting in the largest rail car repair facility in NA right now and a full third of their work is tearing down and rebuilding auto racks. Why do we do this? To ensure that vehicles are delivered safely from the factory to the auto ramps.

Just heard about a load of 24 GMC Pickups damaged in transit and believe me the consequences for the employee involved is severe.

The difference here is that these are customer built orders. Normally stuff like this happens and the dealer just gets a priority rebuild from the factory, the shipper reimburses the manufacturer, and the vehicle is sold at auction so the shipper can recoup what they can out of it. Can't do that when someone already has a vin and build sheet in hand.

Sorry to hear it. Shit happens but after such a long wait that really sucks

BTW - is the standard response to every issue now gonna be "Bro, they need to get you the Raptor"?

 

[Hey19]

Well, that's terrible! I suppose I would say get it fixed and carry on. Sorry to see that.

 

[Wanted33]

Jeez, what in the hell is wrong with the people that ship the Broncos? There are just too many of these threads popping up. Sorry to see this Rob. If it were me I would let 'em fix it, then decide where to go from there. If it's fixed correctly I'd drive that baby home, and enjoy it. Good luck on your decision.

Did they give you a damage estimate? Can't judge by this pic how bad it is but disclosure threshold is $1,000, certain body panels or paint. Based on what I see, it being a FE and lack of replacement, I say fix and make sure you are satisfied with the repair. If you don't want after taking delivery, flip for stupid money because you know damn good and well that's what they are going to do.

 

[KKCSHIPP]

Can you show us a PIC of the entire vehicle? Not seen one yet.

 

[Rivers90]

I would fix it, this is your only chance at a First Edition.
IT does suck but you are lucky to have a Bronco. And that should be no problem to fix and look like new again.
