We did that last year.

It will take more than this forum.

I've said it before on here.... As bad as the dealers are that slap ADM on vehicles the customers are just as much to blame.

Stop paying extra just for the privilege of owning something that's mass produced!

I've seen it on here already.... People buying Broncos of the lot for 5k over and saying they don't mind because it's a good deal comparativly.

I can't imagine wanting a Bronco so bad I'd pay extra for it.

There are multiple dealers pricing starting below invoice to MSRP.

I remember the days that you went to the dealership and haggling for the best price. Now people are just paying for something that won’t hold its price In five years.

We've been saying that with the 66-77 broncos for about 5 years. Quit paying $10k for a pile of rust with no engine, $40k for a nice survivor, and $100k+ for restoration or a restomod and the prices will come down. But people keep handing over the cash lol.

It's just supply and demand working its magic. It's supposed to work this way. Over time, it will normalize.

I get what you are saying but think rarity (that will continue into the future) drives up prices of older Broncos. As someone else mentioned ADM markups are a little different because these are being mass produced and the current "rarity" factor will be gone in a year or less.

As long as there are people willing to drop $5-50k over msrp, good luck. These are the same people bidding $50k+ over on houses. Can't change that 'gotta have it' mentality American consumerism has burned into us.

Exactly!

Many of us organized groups in our states and areas and negotiated below MSRP deals last year. Some went on there own and got a signed deal in writing at their dealership of choice. It appears that there are many who just ordered and didn't do a bit of negotiating let alone get anything in writing.

The problem with your idea is the basic laws of supply and demand.

you’re fighting a losing battle. They are going for nearly double on eBay and people are paying it.

One would think that they are rare, but believe me once the 66-77 bronco owners started seeing those sale prices, 66-77 started showing up everywhere lol.

But they are rare right now. And most likely the supply won't catch up with demand for several years now. We all had a chance to get in on the group buys and everyone that really wanted to, already did.

Current market forces are stronger than any collective action you are proposing. I sold my used car for $9k more than I previously could have. If I have to pay $5-$10k in ADM (which I don't think I will have to) I will accept it.

Manufacturers have production/supply issues. Dealerships don't have inventory. Consumers have money and want to buy cars (new and used).

In what respect do you think this situation would result in reduced pricing?
