Portland Area Dealer Discussions

I got my Bronco BL from Landmark and it was at MSRP (it was a reservation). I was told by my salesperson (Griffin Murphy, who was awesome to work with) that Landmark was not doing ADM on reservations. But they are doing ADM on lot vehicles.

Good luck on the search.

Thank you, I appreciate the input. I met with Darrin Nash and he seemed pretty friendly, he took me for a test drive in their 2 door manual Badlands. We did not talk ADM or much about ordering since the order books are closed. He said he would email as soon as they open again.

I am surprised they got a manual for their inventory. Not that many people know how to drive them anymore. I consider mine an anti-theft device

I think they have had their 2 Broncos since early on, they have a Cyber Orange 2 door Badlands, Manual, and a red 4 door 2.7 wildtrack I think. The 4 door was in for a recall so I was only able to use the 2 door manual but that is the exact combo I want and after driving it I am fully sold on that configuration.

They never sold their mannequins. Those two have been there for a long time.

This was from August 2021.

Yep, the 2 door was showing its age. The windshield wipers barely worked so I bet they have never been maintained.

Saw Damerow has been getting some Broncos in…any of you knuckleheads get the call?

Two may have showed up this morning.

I lost tracking on my train car. Last known location was Chicago yesterday so I have some time.

Two of these Broncos are going to Damerow. Third one is going somewhere else.


I had a good talk with Nick today. My notes:

Rail traffic is difficult. As most of you know there are challenges at the macro railroad world. They are still impacting all aspects including unloading vehicle from the rail cars.

Ford has a new system for tracking orders. The below screenshot is showing my order's progress. As noted it's being transferred in Chicago currently before making the next leg.

This can typically take a week or so. Then I have to hope the Bronco can get unloaded off the railcar. Then I have to hope that the Bronco can get delivered to the dealer.

A lot of hope and prayers.

In the meantime I have lined up my financing aspect with a preapproval from a credit union. Because the CU and Damerow use something called CUDL then Damerow will just process the loan when I come in.

And I have my price protection document ready too.

Nick knows the price protection deal. I was one of his first so you should be good.

Oh, I know he knows. But I will go in with ALL of my documentation, needed or not.

Did he discount the price at purchase or say they would send you a check?

They gave it to me out the door. I didn’t have to wait in a check.

I cringe when I hear of other people having to wait for the dealer to send them a check and in some cases, they never do.

 

[swooshdave]

It’s still a week or so out but they did send a lovely picture to make the waiting more unbearable.

 

[swooshdave]

Well, if anyone wants to know why it takes so long to get to the dealer from the rail yard take a look at this Google Maps picture from some random time. That's a lot of cars to deal with...

Oh, and that's just one of many lots there in NoPo.

Anyone with an unscheduled order from Damerow get reached out to about the current situation with the orders? I sent my salesman a message hoping to prompt that conversation, and got the run around.

Anyone with an unscheduled order from Damerow able to get any information at all from their sales person about their number of orders or allocations? I've been trying to getinformation from someone on their team, or even a countersigned order form, for about a year now and getting pretty sick of the treatment.
