By how?
Buy it from them it increases their allocation for next round plus is money in their pocket they save on floor plan. And as you drive off the lot it is worth 30% less than you paid (instant depreciation)
Don't buy it from them they will not be "stuck" with it even if they price gouge
The only thing that stops the crooks is buying direct from the manufacturer
I would let it go and move on. Life is too short.

I really wish that we could intervene with these issues. That's one less Bronco for someone that's actually waiting on one, all because the dealer wants to make a quick buck.

They had a plan for him to refuse the build because it was nothing like his order. They would then sell it for a crazy markup. Broncos don't depreciate right not. It's actually the opposite.
Buy it. Then sell it. You CAN and WILL make money on it.A little history, sorry long -
Like all of us was super excited when the Bronco reservations opened up. Went online did the $100. Was assigned the local dealership that I was never a fan of ( The Bad Guys ). Extremely poor knowledge and communication made me nervous. I finally had enough when they refused to place my order. They said they were concentrating on only those that were allocated and I shouldn’t try to skip ahead of someone. Whoa!
Now it’s gets interesting. Called the Bronco hotline and was told I would have to create a new reservation to switch dealers. Ok another $100, time stamp was to be moved to my new reservation. This is about a week before the March deadline. A couple of days go by - crickets. I call back. It only shows my original reservation with the original dealer ( Bad Guys ). Getting kind of pissed now, but keeping it cool. Go through the process again. Finally get an email that I have a new reservation, with the same dealer I’m trying to switch from. Now I’m losing my mind. Two days before deadline. Because of this forum and all the information with who to contact I reach out to Mike Levine. Can’t say enough good things about him. Super, super helpful. Gets me in touch with the right folks get switched to the correct dealer ( The Good Guys ) with time stamp in place. What a relief.
Original dealer ( Bad Guys ) calls me a couple of months ago about my reservation. I explain that I transferred dealers. He then begins yelling at me and saying I should switch my order from a gray Base to a red Wildtrack. I said no thanks please cancel my order with you. Multiple times.
On August 19th I get the Ford email for a September 13th week build ( this is with The Good Guys dealership ).
September 2nd I get the email from Ford that my RED Black Diamondis scheduled for production the week of October 4th. So the original dealer never cancelled my order and totally changed it.
The Good Guys have been great to work with and will hopefully be picking up my Bronco from them in November.
Just to piss off the Bad Guys I’m tempted to make a stink and buy it for the agreed upon MSRP. I have an email from them agreeing to MSRP on my reservation. The reservation from Ford says it’s my build
What would you do?

And the buyer gets a used vehicle with hopefully a transferable factory warranty - but not same as Certifed Pre-owned or even the newly advertised Warranty For Life
