Scheduled for production against my wishes

[BESKAR4]

Dealer called me about a week or so ago about confirming my order being rolled into a 23. I told them to hold off and I would call them back- I was considering changes or actually just walking away at this point as I have fallen out of love lately with what I ordered. Well got an email my order was confirmed...no call back from dealer and now I just got an email saying I am scheduled for production. I guess that screws me to make changes, right? Prob screws me out of my deposit if I walk as well? Any insight?

I know most would be elated, but due to some issues- it is just no longer good timing.

If there is a VIN, then it is in.

There's a VIN... didn't want it in...not even the tip. UGH.

They cannot make you pay a dime more unless you take delivery.

And you can take them to the court of public opinion if they do not refund your deposit, especially the $100 reservation deposit if you had one from reveal.

Your deposit should be returned if you dont take the order. But might I suggest getting the Bronco and reselling. It's either you or the dealer making $10k...

Couldn't get these fukkers to agree on a price before, doubt they will now...kept saying they will do MSRP, but won't put it in writing when I ask.

Right there is your answer. Run do not walk away from this Dealership. Do everything you legally can do to get your deposit back. The Dealer should be happy....they can sell it with a fat markup.

Or go in and OFFER to let them sell it for you. You'll take a flat fee of $5K and let them have the rest of the profit. Early on I heard dealers offering reservation holders $$'s to walk away and then sell the Bronco to someone for WAY more. It IS your reservation and you deserve a stake in it, despite the practices of some dealers.

unless the agreement you signed with the dealer was for a "NON refundable deposit" then you should still get your deposit back.

its the 100 from Ford that they took back when reservations started....email stated any order not converted by 21 Nov would be canceled and deposit refunded....its just little shit like this that has annoyed me and taken a lot of the fun out of this

Just a follow up for those who may be interested. Tried hashing it out with the dealer to see if it was possible to make changes, but not possible at this point. I expressed that I was not pleased with them confirming my order when I asked them to wait. I was told "it is not my Bronco" and the order was placed on "my behalf", but that it is Bell Ford's order and I have to take it up with Ford if I want a refund...Ford told me the dealer has to refund the deposit. If I don't want it when it comes in, then it will be sold. Oh, they did offer to order me another one which I asked how since 23 order banks are closed and my price protection is then lost. He said he would have to call me back- that was Monday. I give up. At this point its not even worth it to fight to get my hundred dollars back.

Local dude just paid $15k over MSRP... just resell if you like.

If you do take it and sell it how much do you really make after listing fees, taxes etc.? I think car prices are getting soft.
I ordered mine at Ciocca Ford in NJ, I put a 1k deposit on my CC but only walked out with the dealer build printout with nothing but their word that it was MSRP plus doc fees..no hidden mark-up. I have read on this forum that they are honest and sell at MSRP. if not, I will make their dealership lose money with my big mouth and social media presence.
Good luck and sorry to hear you can’t get the Bronco. They should be very willing to give your deposit back so the can sell and mark up.
