Surprise! Your Bronco is here!

[DDGator]

My Big Bend soft-top 2.3 mid package that I ordered on February 3 showed up at the dealer today. Total surprise. Zero communication from Ford. Never knew I had a VIN, never knew I was scheduled, never knew it was built, or that it was shipping. Boom. Arrived.

To complicate matters, I had already gotten impatient and bought a Bronco off another lot, a little over sticker. Well, that problem has been solved. Traded that one on the ordered Bronco. Got enough out of the trade-in to wipe out the "overage," and now I have the Bronco I want. Drove the temporary Bronco for about 4 months for a profit. Amazing how this market works!

Plus I get more FordPass points, and I don't have to do the windshield recall!

No good pics yet -- I pick it up tomorrow.

I wish you could have somehow recorded the dealer's surprise-pikachu face when you rolled in with that and traded it for yours. Haha

The communication is sooooo bad. I found out mine was scheduled via Ford Chat. No email from ford and no call from the dealer. However, my Bronco has been listed on my dealers site for more than week……

They were surprised, but kind of a win-win. They had to sell me the ordered one at MSRP, so taking in the trade gave them another nearly new Bronco to sell at a big mark-up.

This is the second time I have driven a new car for many months and sold it for more. This can't last, but it is a fun ride if you can buy low (well...MSRP) and sell high.

I'm on my 3rd new car this year using the buy low sell high method.

Was it a a Tampa dealer?

Ferman in Clearwater. Still asking $15k over on stock units, but honored my order and price protection without a problem.

Right? The funny thing is I started down this road by ordering a two-door in July 2021, and I have no VIN or anything yet. Kind of hard to believe.

This isn't usually how I operate. Ford has made me into this...

this has been discussed many many times. Dealerships have an automated system that displays all incoming inventory on their site.

BUT everyone thinks their dealership is trying to sell it from under them

Oh yeah, I know it's automatic for it to show up on their site, I'm not mad/worried. My dealer didn't even know it had been scheduled.

 

[Raptor911]

they didn't know because they never checked.

My dealership tells me everything. They even tell me when a vehicle shows up that is not spoken for and if I know someone who may want it. Below is an example if anyone wants it.
