Granger Ford - Changing Dealerships Thread

[Granger Ford]

Might have been asked and answered already, but does Granger put the sticker / decal on ordered vehicles like the bronco? Rarely see these out on the west coast but seems to be a common occurrence in the Midwest and East

We do but totally up to customer preference.

I will see if Zach will let them just be placed in the glovebox for the customer to do with as they wish.

Are there any out of state buyers that selected Granger Ford as there dealership and are concerned about the miles they are going to put on their brand new Bronco to take it back to their home state? Just curious to know the consensus here.

Not me, 300+ miles is a drop in the bucket.

edit: I can take county highways, go through small towns, stop to see relatives, start/stop this bad boy, and drive at lower speeds the whole way back to Chicago. Make sure I follow an engine break-in procedure, so I don't F it up. All good.

Appreciate that. Would prefer not to have the sticker.

I'll be making the drive from Iowa through Nebraska to see my inlaws and back to California.

In 1999 I bought a Corvette just outside of New Orleans and drove it home to Chicago (all the Chevy dealers here were d**ks when it came to pricing and customer service). Flew down on a cheap one-way, dealer picked me up at the airport, car was waiting in showroom floor. Signed the papers and drove home. Every ~20 miles or so I'd leave the highway and stop at the bottom of the off-ramp then head across the road and back up onto the on-ramp and rejoin the highway. Most engine break-in reco's are to vary the speed, not keep it under excessive load (don't "lug" it), and observe an RPM limit that's something lower than redline (going to vary based on car/engine/manu, etc.). So I was varying my speed and load regularly. Also left the Interstate and detoured along a large portion of the Natchez Trace Parkway, beautiful drive.
All in all it's been over 20 years on a car that I regularly track at high speed circuits like Road America and that engine is still in A-1 condition. Worst thing that happened was a windshield chip from a stone thrown by a truck tire just outside of Kankakee.
My first choice will be to strike a reasonable deal with a local dealer. If I can't then I would have no problem with an out of state delivery. Of course I'm a lot closer to Iowa than you are . . . ?

Hey Granger Ford, I see on the fmcdealer community forum that there are a bunch of other dealers crying and moaning about you $1000 under offer. Good for you guys, keep doing what your doing and maybe the other dealers out there will realize how to treat people better

They will realize it soon enough.?

The old way of doing business is about to come to a screeching halt...

We are tugging the brakes very hard!?

That is not too bad at all. Mine would be more like 1100 miles though.
