I am looking for a little guidance and understanding for when the time comes to actually receive my Bronco and how to prevent a nasty surprise next year.
Ford FAQ states we are not purchasing the Bronco from Ford, this is a purchase from a dealer. Ford has a MSRP (manufacturer suggested retail price) on the Bronco but dealers can charge whatever price they want for it.
This will be my first custom order so I am not clear on the process. When I go to the dealer to make my build I will get the price for the Bronco. My question is simple:
How do I prevent after waiting 9 months when I go to pick up my Bronco and the dealer tells me that i will have to pay an extra $2000 if I want to take it home? Call this $2000 whatever you want, a ADM, fee, charge, premium, markup, adjustment, advertisement fee, first model fee, etc. To say a dealer “should not” ask for money is not preventing the possibility of a surprise. A am guessing the build price is for the Bronco only and is not inclusive of all charges that I would have to pay when all is said and done. They could say yes the Bronco is for MSRP but here is an additional charge I have to pay to the dealer.
Dealers like Granger with a guarantee price are too far from me so in this scenario let’s consider that I have to stay with a local. In Vegas money can come quickly with a simple bet, there are lots of disposable incomes found every day. I would not put it past any dealer to want my Bronco that is sitting on their lot for their quick profit. They just have to make the deal so expensive at the very end that I have to walk away from it thereby releasing it to them.
