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

[70Bronco]

Posting this in case anyone else has a 2022 Bronco and is still waiting on their price protection money from Ford.

I just got off the phone with Tina. She was drafting my price protection check when I called.

She said I'm getting $2,628 in PP for my 2022 2-door Badlands. My Bronco had a build week of 14 November but was on chip hold until early December. Then it sat in "awaiting shipment" for over a month and arrived at Stephens on 21 January. I finally picked it up on 28 January.

She said she only received PP money from Ford for four individuals on this latest notification. But she anticipates getting lots more in the coming days as they have about 30 Bronco's on the lot now and expect another 40 in the next few weeks.

It's been a long, hard road. Like everyone else, I wish it would've been available at the time of purchase but better late than never. Also, I do not blame Stephens or Bronco John or Jeremy for any of this. Everyone at Stephen's has been awesome to work with.

Also, thanks to each of you for the support and the info.

What is the average time you are spending at Stephens during purchase/pick up? 30 minutes? An hour?

Any decent place to stay near by?

I'm due to be delivered in the coming week and want to start plotting out my trip.

I just tried to activate my Bronco on the Ford app and it actually tried and said it is pending. Before now I just received a message stating that it could not activate. Not sure if it means anything but at least it is another small step closer.

It took me less than 30 minutes when I picked mine up, but it was paid for a couple days prior via wire transfer. They weren't especially busy at the time I arrived. I imagine if there's any on-premise financing to be arranged and/or your salesperson is working with another customer at the time of your arrival, that could delay things. I was in touch with Jeremy via phone in the days and hours leading up to my arrival (by plane) so everything went smoothly.

Same deal for me. Agree with all! Sorry I was such a dic-tionary on this forum back in January. Emailed John and Jeremy the same today.

This sounds cool, I'd be down it.

My delivery date just changed again to 4/23-4/29. Also, the tracker switched to only order confirmed for some reason.

Better than this.

I haven't really kept up with the price protection - For a MY2023 that was built in April, should I expect it to be taken into account at delivery, or will I be issued a check at some point in the future? I was under the impression that it would show up as an incentive in Smart Vincent like it does for the Maverick.

Also, does anyone know if you could stack price protection with College Grad and Farm Bureau?

I am interested in the same questions - any one have feedback??

The closest place to stay will be in the Southridge Center area which is between Charleston and SAC.

I was there for about an hour on Saturday. But that included test drive, completion of trade in and financing paperwork. In fact I probably had to wait about 15 minutes for the porter to go gas it up before I could leave. So I consider my experience to probably be the upper end of time spent picking up. They were very quick about everything.

If my tracker says final preparation 4/25/23, does that mean my Bronco is at Stephens, or is this a hoax by the tracker?

I honestly think your vehicle (and quite possibly mine) are now in WV. I received similar info earlier today. Probably getting prepped via service. There are a lot of Broncos there to work through. 60+ I believe. Patiently awaiting SAC email and subsequent call.

We are twins… just keep waiting
