So your saying they planned on taking 75% of deposits and turning them into sales for 2021 without giving anyone their bronco? My guess if you make a sale of a 2021 bronco you should get the damn thing before 2022. Am I wrong with that assumption? Then the 25% left would be converted to sales in 2022 and I would guess they would take delivery before 2023? You don’t think they just planned on sitting on sales without delivering the product do you?
That's exactly what it was. But when you tell your kid you can't take them to the ice cream shop because it's raining, and it stops raining, you pray they forget they wanted ice cream
When this was written there was no sales just deposits.... you could not even order before Dec.... Read this....Make sure you read the disclaimer at the end
Allocations, time stamp, amount of SUV’s sold and amount of reservations all played a roll. How much weight did they have percentage wise I haven’t the foggiest and I don’t think Ford was to upfront with that either. Granger had 200 allocations for 2021. The are supposedly being cut almost by half but who knows till it’s all said and done for 2022. I would think as a business stand point ford should at least keep it at 200 but I don’t run their business. I don’t believe they should get every bronco first either. I do believe they should take care of everyone’s reservation as close to time stamp as they can without costing Ford extra money.
It was also tied to the amount of reservations and time stamp not just allocations and sales. You conveniently leave that part out.
Well Tricia, it looks to me like with Ford, as most large companies, the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Maybe, just maybe, in this case the old saying will show true. The squeakiest wheel could just get the most grease. Good for you my friend, stay on 'em.And with your post, "The best evidence is right in the quote that YOU posted."
"Dealer allocation will depend on a retailer's market size, previous SUV sales performance, the number of reservations tied to their store and competitive off-road registrations in their market, LaNeve said."
1.) 25% of the new 2022 formula is tied to specifically "Bronco Sport" sales, not "previous SUV" sales as stated in your reposted quote of the description of the 2021 allocation formula.
2.) The "number of reservations tied to their store" is all but completely gone from the new formula.
3.) And "competitive off-road registrations in their market" the extra allocations that were funnelled toward areas of the country with lots of Jeep owners, is also no longer part of the formula.
It looks to me like the quote you reposted shows exact evidence that the allocation formula has changed drastically for 2022.
Now, add to that...
I just got off the phone with Ford Customer Service. The woman I spoke with is going to have a meeting with her supervisor because they have been told to tell us that all the reservations will be filled in 2022 AND that people who converted reservations to orders in 2021 but got pushed to 2022 would get their Broncos built first before newly converted 2022 orders. (Accounting for commodity constraints of course.)
They will also be looking at what Mr. Levine has been tweeting these last few days since it seems to contradict what they were told to say.
Dec 2020.....
Post below sums up pretty well
As I have said many times, you can only go off of what you know when you know it. And again at least in grangers case, they have been up front and clear that allocations will play a roll. I don't recall them ever saying for sure you will get your vehicle on or by x date.
Will reservations be fulfilled in the order placed?
Granger sells vehicles with the below invoice pricing on their other vehicles too. It isn't just Bronco pricing. It's their business model. The only vehicles they don't sell with this model are the performance models (GT500, Raptor, etc.). @Zach@Granger can verify if I'm full of it or not, but I remember Albert discussing this early on or via a phone call with me.
That is correct. We did not sell a Demon above MSRP. It's our company policy. I also knew I sold it to the right guy when he was going through options and he said, "no sunroof, my helmet won't fit if I have a sunroof."
Like it says, they figured on delivering all Broncos by the end of 2022 and I am assuming that’s 165,000 of them. That’s not happening now. I don’t think that fault falls on any dealer. The disclaimer is just covering their butts on any issues or changes they want to make.
