Over here at Panda Motorworks we've been anxious to dive into Bronco, much like everyone else. With no updates on our order we decided to look elsewhere for a Bronco. We spent just about all day on the phone ringing every dealership possible to see if they had any on the lot for sale due to customers backing out of orders. We had a few leads throughout the day, but they either ended up being Mannequin's or asking waaaaayyyyyy too much over sticker. After close to 8 hours of searching, we finally found one! The Bronco we found had just landed and was a personal order for an employee at a dealership who decided an F-150 Powerboost would meet his needs much better. We will be flying out Tuesday morning to pick it up and make the 15 hour drive back to St. Louis! So here it is, our new Bronco Big Bend! It is a a 2.3L with the 10AT in Carbonized Gray!

Cue the, "But I don't even have a VIN!"

For the record, I have absolutely no problem with anyone doing this. Do the legwork, make the arrangements, get the rewards. I'm sure if someone wanted to put in the time, they could do something similar.

Ultimately this is exactly what led us to search for one instead of waiting out our order! We've got some pretty exciting Day 1 already!

Well, if ever a vehicle was a blank canvas, this gray, gray, gray, gray Big Bend fits the bill. :LOL: Congrats on getting your Bronco.

Congrats!

As much as I hate seeing vehicles on dealership lots before the customers (us) get our vehicles, I understand some reasons why this may occur… primarily people backing out of initial orders.

Kudos to you for not just jumping on the first one you found, which was likely a ridiculous mark-up. I think getting a Bronco in the hands of an aftermarket vendor is fine; it’ll help us get the parts/accessories we’re craving sooner rather than later.

Enjoy!

Thank you! And yes, very glad ridiculous markup was avoided! We found a few much closer to us, but paying $25-35k over sticker was not something we were remotely considering.

I’m definitely following this, especially since I’m local to STL!
Feel free to stop by and check it out! We are just off Hwy 70 between O'Fallon and St. Peter's!
