The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

[shnider10]

My Bronco journey has OFFICIALLY come to an end. I received my PP check from SAC today. What a wonderful experience and 100% worth the wait. For those still waiting, reach out to Jeremy for an update. He was able to give me pretty much the exact day they were sending it out. Thanks again for the ride the last 2+ years.

Was that the 2023 price protection or the 2022/2021 rebate?

It was the 2023 PP. I got my rebate and dropping the deadly sins rebate off the top at the time of purchase.

I'm super happy to hear that! Thank you. Maybe I should check the mail

Yeah. It’s from SAC not Ford, so you can contact them and see what’s up. Jeremy responded within a few hrs. Good luck!

Checking in to see if anyone who picked up their Bronco in late April has received their check to cover the 2023 price increases.

Called Jeremy today and said check will be going out in a couple of days.

Nice! I emailed today. Hopefully I hear back soon!

Same here. I emailed Jeremy after Bronck mentioned he called. Let me know if you hear back from Jeremy via email, and I'll do the same.

Spoke to Jeremy yesterday. I don't know how many orders are still left waiting. He looked up the order and noted it had some code in reference to damage on site at MAP now, and is awaiting repair. I've seen some other folks discussing hail damage from the plant. Not sure if that's the same issue. This whole process has been a total clusterfuck:

7/22/20 - reservation;
4/11/23 - blend date (I was not a 99er waiting on the MOD top);
6/29/23 - built (confirmed delay resulting from rear-axle issue through another forum member with access to Ford's internal computer system - I believe her husband has login credentials b/c he works for Ford somewhere in manufacturing);
Interim: placed on stop sale due to temporary seatbelt recall;
8/8/23 - official word from Ford is "released to carrier" and "awaiting shipping." Obviously, Jeremy was able to give me better info.

All I can do at this point is laugh. An absolute comedy of errors. It's been 1,113 days since I placed my reservation.

My Outer Banks 2-Dr was built on 4/13 and Finally released to shipping on 7/12/23. I just talked to Joe and he said "They are just waiting for mine to arrive."

P.S. My tracker has never updated since it's 4/13 build date which from what I've heard is typical.

I hope yours shows up soon! I've been emailing back and forth with someone from the Ford Executive Offices for several months now. She's blaming the current delay on carrier shortages. In the words of Adam Carolla, it always boils down to stupid or liar. A little transparency would go a long way in curbing some of the current (and past) frustration.

Have you been talking to Tarita Johnson? I don’t think she actually did anything to help move things along but she was fairly transparent and consistent with following up.

Sorry to hear you’re going through this, though. Rest assured that this is far and away the toughest part once it gets to Stephens you’ll have the best car buying experience possible.

My liaison is Felicia. I'm certain she's not doing anything to move it along, though I don't think that's really within her control, obviously. She's pleasant, and middling as far as responsiveness - I also get it, if she doesn't know or can't tell me what's actually going on, not a lot to update me about.

I'm not in any rush at this point. I just replaced my old Honda a few weeks ago - the wait had finally gotten to me. I suspect, in a couple months, I'll be in the same boat as some of those '22ers that were still waiting on delivery while '23s were getting shipped.

It is what it is. It's just unbelievable. I told people in April it was getting built, after 2.5 years of hearing me talk about it...now they all likely think I'm completely full of shit. I'd think the same if it were someone else

This a hundred times over. Stephens is the greatest car buying experience you could ever ask for.

We are really getting down to the last reservation holders to take delivery. @BHearn9 while you may have been waiting longer than anyone else, remember you might be the "last" one to get it from Stephens from the original reservations. That can be a mark of pride in and of itself. I kind of wanted to make the 1,000-day mark (I guess machoism), but I missed it by 25.

Maybe start a collective fund to show our appreciation to the hard-working employees of Stephens and throw them a party. How many auto dealers have you ever thought you'd want to pay for the employees to have fun?

Maybe we all should have a Bronco Stephens Auto owner reunion sometime?
