The flyers can lose every game for the rest of the season and I would still be happy since they swept the penguins in back to back games and I think the goal difference was 11 to 5 [Maybe 6]
:ROFLMAO:
It's ok, we'll give you those 2...i get how 1974 was so long ago 😂 😂

Just goes to show how much energy we both put into this rivalry ;)

Wish I could remember the commercials' product though. Mid 1990s maybe?

I think as a community we’ve done enough to show @kfralin what we think...

I want to take a moment and focus this thread back on @DealerInsider , where the focus should be.

As my username probably tells you...I’m new to this car buying thing.

I’ve been dreading the whole experience. Trying to figure out pricing, what the difference between MSRP and invoice was, all these Ford alphabet soup abc/xyz plans (lol), etc.

Do I negotiate? What can I negotiate?
Do I need something in writing?
Am I going to get screwed down the line?

My local dealer did not leave me with a very good impression. I couldn’t help but feel like he was trying to get the most of the situation by keeping me in the dark, using scare tactics, etc.

Lucky for me B6G and all you awesome people were here. You guys kept me informed.

Then I found Tom at Chapman and he has been so damn helpful, responsive, and transparent.

At the same time - he is one of the most authentic dealers/people I’ve gotten to talk to. He got a bad rep upfront for the way he typed and talked...but I actually like the way he communicates. It’s authentic to who he is and he isn’t changing.

And he shouldn’t! He’s a professional at his work and that’s all that counts. (I feel the same way about my line of work)

My order is officially placed and I could not be more confident in my decision to go with him.

As someone who’s “new at this”...he’s fostered a sense of trust in me. Doesn’t matter if I get a MY21, MY22, or if something goes wrong down the line. I know he has my back and I’m here having his now.

Thanks for everything so far Tom! You’re a brother for sure!
I'm with you @imnewtothis :)

Late to the party but after finding this thread a few weeks back and making a decision, Tom hooked me up and helped me make the plunge! Best communication even from a dealer! This guy must never sleep! I realize I'm a late '22 at the earliest but hey, got to start somewhere. Local dealers were very condescending, like this is a limited edition, we'd be doing you a favor to even talk to you about it. No thanks. Friends all have Jeeps. The Bantams were built nearby. National Jeep fest is local but here I am wanting a Bronco, lol!

And wow has this thread taken a sharp turn off the rails!. :eek:

What many dealers fail to realize, you own the reservation, not them.

The only scarce commodity for many dealers are customers willing to convert their reservation to an order with them.

I have two First Editions reserved and haven't converted my orders yet because the dealership says they don't know allocation and can't tell me what position my reservations are in based on the timestamps. They keep saying they'll get back to me, but never do.

I got both of them reserved on the night Ford opened Bronco reservations. Is it possible that they really don't know their allocation? I'm considering moving my reservations to another dealership if I'll still be able to get my FEs early.

You buying two to keep, or flipping?
