Try the bot chat

Back from dealer, no Bronco.

No ADM and the Smart Vincent cert was a no brainer. They got tripped up on the rest of the price protections (3/11/21 original order).

Gave em the flow charts and asked them to make some calls to Ford in the morn. We’ll see how it goes then.

Oh man, I hate that for you. That is the last thing you need after the long wait. If you have problems, let us know. I have some good resources that were shared with me in the event I needed to walk my dealership through the process, but thankfully after an initial balking from my salesman, he emailed me within 15 minutes with the correct pricing. It can be confusing if you do not live it like we have.

What’s the link to the bot chat. After clicking support i got to chat but since it has office hours i am assuming that link is for human chat.

You want the human chat bot. I know that is an oxymoron, but I just call it the chat bot.

Appreciate that…will know in the morning. I felt like they were on my side, just not savvy on what Ford is offering. Would be better for Ford to educate them than me, but will do what it takes.

How did the Bronco look? Do you have any pictures? Had it already been cleaned up and ready for delivery?

Snapped this before I went in to talk turkey. Got to test drive it about 5 miles. It’s good to go!

Looks great! I love the azure grey. How many miles were on the odometer when you took it out?

Its an Area 51, overcast days darken this color. Funny I didnt check miles, just the gas tank said 25 left before and ran down to 20 after drive. Will check that tomorrow and fine tooth comb it a bit more.

If you activated your Ford Pass app, you can see the mileage. BTW Area 51 is a fantastic color too!

I didnt. Felt like I should wait on all that till the deal was done.

Best of luck tomorrow and hope to hear some good news.

Technically, it's not real difficult on the pricing, the dealers just don't get it. Your dealership will be billed (invoiced) from Ford based on the last DORA you made (you get a new DORA anytime you make changes to your order). Likely your last DORA is when you converted to a 2023 model. That last DORA will also have an MSRP on it. You take the MSRP from that DORA and subtract your certificate from smart Vincent and also deduct the $250 for no subwoofer and that's your price.

In most cases that will put your price between $5000 and $7000 less than the 2023 sticker price.

That’s more or less how I broke it down for them to simplify it all. My November DORA minus the cert puts me back to my original 3/11/2021 price. Hopefully Ford gives them what they need in the morning…which is all they want, some assurances vs my word and some forum flow charts.

Thanks, same!
