Hello Everyone,

l know there are a lot of preorders for the new Bronco. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to do that. Will there be any Broncos on dealer lots, or will Ford only be producing the preorders until 2022?

Thank you.

Don't expect dealer stock on the lots until late Q1 2022. And expect dealers to charge over MSRP for dealer stock until at least 2023.

If you are looking to buy in 2022, a reservation placed today will probably deliver in January 2022. If you need to play the long game, the longer you wait to place a reservation the longer it will take to deliver. If you don't mind a road trip to Iowa, take advantage of @Granger Ford $2000 below invoice deal. This will be a late reservation/delivery.

The 'preorder' will cost you only $100. If you see a Bronco on a lot for sale.....the OTD cost could potentially be much more than if you would have just preordered.

With certain dealers, your total cost of entry up until you take delivery next year would be just the $100 preorder charge.

Only preorders but you'll see mannequins.

It's answered all over this forum if you remember that a magnifying glass represents a search feature.
Funny thing, I spoke to a dealer yesterday in Pennsylvania and he said his dealership ordered a few Bronco's for test drives. Wonder how that works? Sounds almost like it takes away from reservations.

Also spoke to another dealer about a month ago that stated they had some of their employees place orders for dealer stock. Wonder how that works too?

Sure feels like some of these dealers are being shady already out here on the east coast.

I bet the first guy was talking about ordering the Bronco Sport demos. Dealerships were able to order four (number might be dependent on dealership size) Sports from preset configurations. They will be allowed to order one demo Bronco when the time comes (again may be dealership size dependent).

The second guy is down right shady but I bet he has changed his attitude with Ford stating they intend to crack down on this very thing via penalties.

Whaddya mean. You can afford to buy from dealer stock but not by preorder? Why. Explain yourself this instant. Are you from BN or something. You don't have internet? But you posted this. Why are you like this? Trying to be more mysterious than mike on twitter.

Thank you for moving my post. I’m new here and didn’t even look at the other forums.
Maybe I’ll just have to preorder.

If you want it before dealers actually have stock, that's pretty much the only option you have. Even an order today could easily put you into 2022. I guess best bet (if you can afford the $100), put your reservation in. Place your order in December. If by some miracle a local dealer gets one in stock before your Bronco arrives check it out. If you like it, buy it, and when your order comes in just don't buy that one. By that time, dealer stock should be starting up.... maybe.

Wait, a car dealer being shady? That can't be right.

If it's the $100 deposit that's an issue, you could always make the reservation at a dealer you don't intend to use - then change it to the one you actually want. They will keep your reservation number and place in line but refund you the $100.

Also keep in mind though - Ford is requiring a minimum $500 deposit on the bronco. Some dealers are eating that cost as a courtesy to their customers but many are not.

He could be referring to the mannequin program where we're going to have a couple early for demo/test drives.

Or he could simply be ordering some for the dealership and using them for whatever purpose they please. We have plenty of parts trucks, rollbacks, delivery trucks, etc...that we own and use daily.

We have a good many employees ordering Broncos too. Don't know what they want to do with them. But we have almost 350 employees too, so that doesn't seem out of the norm.

I wouldn't have my employees order for dealer stock. If I did, I would make them buy it, register it, then buy it back from them, paying all their taxes and fees back to them. Then you can do what you want with it.

That right there, is shady! No matter how you slice it. That is what annoys people around here. Would you then sell it as used? So we'd get the $2000 off because it was driven off the lot? Or would it be MSRP?

Edit: I'm not attacking, just pointing out how that comes off.

I don't take it as an attack. I'm not doing that with employees. Simply stated how to do it.....big difference.

I do have a similar plan laid out with normal reservation holders to be able to convert 100% of my reservations though. I'm not going to miss any allocation.

Sounds like that one dealership that was dinging Granger on Yelp or whatever. I hope they all get the big green blue oval right up the tailpipe for their shenanigans.

Richard, sarcasm?
Is that your PG way of calling me a dick so you don't go to the bad place? No sarcasm there. I think there is enough evidence to assert that people with low message counts who start threads about things that have been discussed to death on this forum possibly don't understand common symbols used in forums. Or they're egotistical douchebags who believe they're above everyone else on this forum and can order us around. I chose to believe the OP was merely ignorant and not maliciously shit-posting/threading.
