The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

[long_road]

How many Broncos has SAC delivered this year? How many last year?

I could be way off, but I think they delivered 75-80ish last year (2021 models) and like 50ish so far this year.

Being realistic, I wouldn't expect them to get more than another 50-70 next year. As number 81 in line, that means I'm probably looking at an early 2024 model.

Expecting Ford to "do the right thing" and just go ahead and build all the early res holders is foolish. They won't do that...

The only thing working in favor of Granger/SAC reservation holders is price protection; if Ford still has to honor 2021 pricing in 2024, that'll be a huge hit to their profit. Knowing Ford, they'll address this issue not by fulfilling these reservations, but by removing price protection.

You can take this comment to the BANK! Don't be surprised "WHEN not IF" price protection is dropped even for 2023.
When do the order banks open for 2023......Crickets is all I'm hearing????

Ford has already stated that there would be price protection through MY23.

That can be changed with one MEMO!! FORD has already back tracked and revised many of the original PROMISES.
Reserve Holders getting their Bronco's first before general dealer stock......Was only one of the original LIES.

I'd be ok dropping price protection, bit give me a Heritage Edition with white top at MSRP or a special edition. The reservation should be worth something. And that's before any other MY23 orders get the option of the Heritage or special edition.

There were/are reasons why the "dealer stock" happened so you can believe those reasons or not.
It would be much harder for Ford to reverse course on the price protection. If you want to get all worked up on something that hasn't happened yet, so be it.

I can understand all the supply constraints and everything related that will slow production or even stop it. Most of us are reasonable and understand that. But many of the horrid decisions or lack of on how they handled the reservation are mind-boggling. Their absolute refusal to stop many of these dealerships from taking advantage of the res holders whether it was sold underneath them or jacking up the price to unreasonable amounts. They could have stepped in but they hardly lifted a finger. Then you add the voodoo math formula or better known as the "allocation formula" that simply undermines the timestamps. Yep, I agree with your comment, there is a lot they could have done but they won't.

 

[BigRed]

Not worked up at all. Stating facts....The odds are based on Ford's past performance and total lack of integrity.
I note your Bronco is finally almost in your hands so congratulations are in order.

writing like that does usually make the writer appear to be all worked up. i call that style the Tucker Carlson capslock. Sort of preachy and usually worded to get others riled up. thats as far as i want to go down this rabbit hole so i wont be replying to any follow up comments about his show or political spectrums. We are all united in multiple common goals. Our appreciation and support for SAC, and our desire to drive home in the bronco of our dreams. And weve all waited and seen enough to be familiar with the game ford is playing. the saying goes the squeaky wheel gets the grease but we are all preaching to the choir. we gotta some how make our situation visible to the higher ups at Ford otherwise nothing will have the potential to change.

It finally happened! SAC was great as everyone has stated many times. I wish John was there but he doesn’t work weekends but my son and I got to meet the rest of the crew. Be patient my friends. It’s easy to say that now but I was a 2nd day reservation holder so I’ve done my time. The best part, I don’t have to check 6G site every couple hours and I get to install my accessories that I’ve acquired for the past 8 months. Btw… they had another truck delivery last night so they are coming boys.

Forgot? Really? You leave the house and forget to turn the iron off. You forget to put the milk back in the fridge. You forget to take your medicine. You forget to put on clean drawers. You forget the names of your children or your wife’s birthday. You don’t forget the color of a Bronco.
