dang downtown ford wouldnt honor it? i currently have my reservation with future ford but so far there customer service has been horrible, i send a screen shot to my sales guy from the forum from someone stating they had a 10k mark up and he never replied when i asked him if it was true. any other time i would have canceled long ago. wondering if anyone had any tips on how to move the reservation over my build date is set for 1/10/22

Future Ford, really? Did you search that on this forum? I would probably say they are the number one warned about dealer on this forum.

Now I know of at least one person who was eventually able to get their Bronco at MSRP, but he had to push back a little I believe because they wanted to charge over but folded.

There are definitely a few of us that started a future, but quickly saw the red flags and moved our reservations to other dealers, unfortunately further away.

Personally I switch to Serramonte but that was because they were offering it invoice like deal at the time. A lot of people are using Walnut Creek.

If you want to stay local, and you don't want to get ripped off but you're willing to pay MSRP (which is what everyone but Granger is doing now) you may want to give Auburn Ford a call. They seem to be on the up and up and honest when I had a long conversation with them a while ago.

There are a couple threads of people reporting some good dealers in California.

I pickup my badlands next Friday at livermore ford and so far they keep telling me they are honoring msrp.

Walnut Creek for me.
Bought a couple used cars from them and it has been an overall good experience. I see from some of the other threads they are no ADM and will honor x-plan. Already got an email from the “Bronco specialist” who is actually the guy who sold us our Expedition.

Shopped Future Ford Concord a couple times and walked out due to douchey sales folks who I felt were trying to pull one over on me. Though I believe they are also going to honor x-plan. Haven’t really dealt with anyone else except Ford store in Morgan Hill who were also pretty good when I was shopping for my fusion but did not end up buying from them.

Shit I ordered mine through concord does. Orig ally had it at Livermore but was told go to concord. So far the communication has been very shitty

Currently sitting at Fremont Ford. Called in routinely to check pricing after placing my order. Kept getting ‘don’t worry’ response. Got here and boom, 15k over msrp. They were blatant saying they’d sell way over msrp once I walked away

 

[Erick2123]

wow SMH, thats insane, did you have a pre order or just call up?

sucks brother, i had to have my dealer confirm in writing after sharing the post from this forum. they said they would honor MSRP for pre orders but not broncos on lot from cancelations.

I got my bronco from crown! Their internet sales rep jessica poli was great to work with.

My bronco won’t be delivered for a few weeks, but I wanted to get my financing done before 1/1 for tax reasons. Cypress Coast Ford in Seaside (Monterey) CA sold me mine at msrp. I was an early reservation holder. I had an x-plan pin, that they said they would honor back in February, but they didn’t. I wasn’t really expecting them to, it clearly says that it excludes broncos. Either way, it was quick, and pretty much what I expected. I wasn’t thrilled with the experience, but I don’t have anything to complain about.

Which is what I agree with, but I never canceled

 

[lenitech]

Serramonte honored the X plan deal and even prepped mine first thing when it came in so I could drive it to the Moab Off-Roadeo since I was leaving the next day. Those guys are top notch!

On that note, here is a car that I spotted several years ago, with delusions of grandeur…

It's a Chevy (and not even a real Chevy, but some piece of Korean garbage badge-engineered as an ersatz Chevy), that aspires to some day be a Ford.

I bought my Bronco from Auburn Ford outside of Sacramento since I live in Newcastle. Paid exactly MSRP. Smoothest car buying experience ever. Small dealership but they were fantastic.
