This was from 2020 and as far as I know, the process hasn’t changed. They do (did) not re-invoice the dealer after a price change if it’s a customer order and is sold to the customer.

What was explained to me by my dealer, though it may be wrong, is that invoicing does not happen at time of taking the order. He said that its invoiced when sent to the plant but that orders unscheduled have not been invoiced yet.

5k is nothing in todays world.

If the dealership won’t budge I wouldn’t worry too much because that won’t make much difference on your payment. If you’re getting the Bronco at MSRP from your latest window sticker and the dealer honors that I would say you got a small win.

Just don’t let the dealer trick you into the extended warranty and other add ons.

Correct, invoicing happens at the time scheduling. That was the point of the model year transition assistance as price protection does not carry over between model years. Ford probably errored when using the term price protection early on when the shit show started. Prior to that, price protection was limited to vehicles who’s price increased after ordering. I think the other thing lost on everyone is that custom ordered vehicles were almost always scheduled/invoiced within days of ordering. This waiting for two years to get scheduled is not normal. I’ve custom ordered vehicles for nearly 50 years from Ford and am pretty used to this process. Granted most were ordered under Ford employee plans so dealer games were never an issue. This was one of the reasons I went with Granger Ford. They have been transparent and upfront on the ordering and pricing process.

So, I reserved my Bronco in August of 2021 and ordered shortly after in 2021. I had to reorder the vehicle 2 times and understood the price protection with no markup on the dealer's end. The marketing website shows today the price of the last order I signed @ my dealership prior to the build, reflecting a price increase that would be covered by the private offer from ford. I have 2 offers but told I can only use one. When I got my window sticker there was another price increase of $2000+ added to the total price of the vehicle so I contacted Ford marketing to ask why they show one price on the website and another on the sticker only to be told they have no other private offer to compensate." Your dealership has the final say". Now I must say that is a perfect case of false advertising on Fords part for selling me a vehicle online @ one price and stickering it for $2000+ more all on the same website. It is not the dealers fault Ford marked up the sticker in 2 weeks after the build was signed. So, what can I do? Eat the $2000+? Small claims court? I have waited a long time for this Bronco and want to buy it I just don't wish to take it in the A$$ from Foird Motor Company on the price.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

WALK AWAY and don't but the truck. That's what everyone that gets the bad end of the stick needs to do. Money talks...BS walks. I know this will never happen, because most people love being a victim.

Good luck with court!

Yep. Buy you a beer?

 

[OCNORB1974]

Agreed! The signed order was the same as the website is today that I posted and I have no problem with that price. I will have to fight with the dealer now to get that price

The dealer is not going to fight, they hope you walk away, because they can get more $$$$.

 

[WheresMyCar]

The sticker is not what you pay. The dealer will run the rebates or PP Ford has on file for you and that’s what you will pay. I thought I was paying sticker too, and wasn’t.

 

[Morrisattack]

No its $5000+ more than the 21 order

What model was 29,000?

Ford lost a billion $ last year. They’re going to do everything they can to make it up.
