Bronco Build Week 1/8/2024

[BD6G]

What would you do?

My vehicle arrived at my dealer today. I have plans to pick it up over Presidents’ Day weekend due to work and the dealer is 2 hrs away.

The dealer finance department is pushing me hard to sign all the paperwork now. Says everything will be taken care of on pickup day, so everything will go smoothly.

I have a $1000 deposit on it.

I kind of want to sign papers after I can see the car, touch it, and take a close look at what I am buying.

I already called him out on one of the forms that said I am accepting the vehicle “as is” and I am responsible for all damages. He removed that form.

Am I being paranoid or is this dealer trying to close the deal a bit early?

I can’t speak for all dealers, how we handle it is if we have your deposit we consider the car sold until you show up and take delivery or pass. If a customer has an issue and can’t make it in for a week or two due to whatever reason then no issue as long as the customer stays in contact with us throughout the wait period. This gives both parties confidence that the deal will still happen and the buyer isn’t going to ghost the deal.

Edited to add don’t sign papers before you can see and test drive your vehicle. The dealership should work for you and your needs not against you. This business is easy if you treat customers right and do right by them.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the feedback. I’ll let them know I’ll sign all the papers in person after inspection and a test drive.
One week out for me.

If it falls through the same dealer ordered another Everglades(same specs/color) under my name with a build date of March 4. So I have a backup option coming down the line.

Hi Everyone!! Hope you all have your Broncos!! Does anyone remember that thread about best 5 things to buy for Bronco 24? Can’t find it Also what were the recommended rock rails?! There are so many my head is gonna explode

This is the video you are looking for:


Rock rails, running boards, pinch weld covers, factory rock rails....there are a lot of options out there...

I ordered the IAG EZ step full length board for the 4 door. These connect directly to the factory "rock rails" or whatever they call them. I don't believe these function as rock rails.

Picking up my vehicle on Saturday!

My bronco is finally 2 hours away going through Oklahoma. Hoping to have it by early next week.

Just found out this morning I qualify for X-Plan pricing. Had my dealer give me the bottom line number so I have an idea of what ill be walking into next week.

2k in savings which about covers the model year price increase from my original 2023 order.

Anyone got a code to avoid taxes?

Is there anyone else from this build week that's still in production? Mine has been in production since January 10th!

That's a long time to be in production. What exactly was your order? Have you spoken with your dealer?

Mine was “In production” 92 days before it was updated to “Built”. Just a heads up. It can happen.

Yes, spoke with Ford chat two weeks ago. They said it was in production yet gave me an estimated arrival date of the next day! My dealer said they see it sitting in Michigan. Not sure why it hasn't updated in the system to built. It's an Outer Banks, 4 door hard top with Lux.
