Walnut Creek Ford Is Here For The Bronco Community

[Calicorks]

Just a suggestion..... if you can’t beat these guys on price, maybe offer some kinda swag deal. Free car wash for a year, free Tshirt. Otherwise your going to hear all day your offer is cute, but no thx. ?‍

Thank you Shahram. I'll wait to hear from you before I do anything drastic, like transfer my reservation to the Texas Buyer's Group, or start looking at Jeep Rubicons.

I’m in the same boat here Shahram. This isn’t good news at all.

Just reserved with Walnut Creek Ford!

I completely understand. I want to verify it with Ford to make sure this is credible. It just doesn't make sense. I'm with you guys, and will let you know as soon as I find out.

I am sad to say, that it is true with the 2 and 4 door bronco not being eligible for the x-plan. I am absolutely shocked. This is what was just sent out by the Bronco team:

Bronco Specialists,

We learned today that information regarding Bronco and X-Plan inadvertently leaked. This information was being prepared to be shared along with additional details tied to the Build and Price launch this Friday, October 23.

Our official statement on the topic is:
Due to unprecedented demand and limited supply Bronco two- and four- door models will NOT be eligible for X-plan in 21MY. This is similar to other limited supply vehicles like F-150 Raptor, Mustang Shelby models. Bronco will offer AZD Plan pricing for all series except limited-run First Edition.

Additionally, below is a brief Q&A that provides direction on answering dealer/customer questions that may arise.

Will Bronco two- and four- door offer AXZD Plan pricing? Bronco will offer AZD (A = Employee, Z = Ford Retiree, D = Dealer) Plan pricing for all series except limited-run First Edition. X-plan (X = Friends & Family) will NOT be offered on any Bronco two- and four- door for the 21MY.

Why are you excluding X-Plan pricing for Bronco? Due to unprecedented demand and limited supply Bronco two- and four- door will NOT be eligible for X-plan in 21MY. This is similar to other limited supply vehicles like F150 Raptor, Mustang Shelby

Why are you announcing this now? We are announcing this at same time as our full pricing and Build and Price release on Bronco two- and four- door

I have already generated an X-Plan pin, can I use it? PINs are not specific to a vehicle and can be used on any eligible vehicle.

Will Bronco Sport offer AXZD Plan pricing? Yes. Bronco Sport offers AXZD Plan pricing for all series.

@WCFord

With announcement of no X-plan pricing, is WC staying with no mark up over MSRP or better? What is AZD Plan pricing? How do we get it!

As of right now, staying with MSRP, we definitely will not be marking these cars up, I know that will not change for us. AZD are for people who work for, or worked for Ford Motor Company. In all sincerity, I am still trying to process this information myself. I know it doesn't sound fair, especially with everyone's understanding that it would be accepted. Anything else I find out, I will share right away.

Hi all. FYI Here is a letter from Kearny Mesa Ford in San Diego.

“ Good afternoon all,

We at Kearny Mesa Ford have tried our best to be completely transparent regarding our pricing policies with all of you from the very beginning. Our commitments were clear to all reservation holders: We are not going to mark up the price above MSRP, we will accept all Ford sponsored discounts (X/Z/A/D Plan), and we will not add any additional equipment or accessories without request.

As some of you know already, Ford announced today that the full size Bronco will not qualify for Xplan discounts. Xplan is typically for employees of companies which partner with Ford. The Bronco will still qualify for Z/A/D plan though. Needless to say this came as a big surprise to all of us. I have personally spoken to well over 100 of you and I understand just how important this factor was in your decision to do business with us.

In response to this, we have internally made the decision that we will still honor the Xplan discount for anybody who can provide a valid PIN when it comes time to complete the purchase. This will just be for your individual special order and will not be offered on any stock Broncos. We will use typical Xplan pricing from like-priced Fords to approximate what the discount would have been. This will also disqualify our dealership from the reimbursement we would typically see from doing an Xplan deal, but following through on our commitments is more important than that.”

I appreciate you sharing that. I am in talks with the rest of the management team. Didn't want anyone to think I've skipped town after the recent news. As soon as I have anything confirmed to share, I will post it on here.

As I’m sure you are aware @WCFord, a dealership 30 miles West is offering the same thing Kearny Mesa is. 0.4% below invoice plus $275.

Just food for thought to keep buyer’s with WC.

@ThatOne911Dude what dealership 30 miles west is offering X Plan pricing? Serramonte?

Yeah, they’re honoring the X-Plan pricing if changed to them before 10/31.

 

[WCFord]

Thank you for everyone's patience while we get this sorted out.

After speaking with the management team at Walnut Creek Ford, we have decided on the following:

For all of the valued guests that have reserved with us, we greatly appreciate you working with us, and know how important it is to have a transparent Bronco buying experience. As long as you have a valid X-plan pin [MUST], we will honor x-plan pricing for reservations placed with us prior to 10/19/2020.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
