Um…..anyone else notice the OP says they ordered the Bronco “online”? That’s not how it works……not at least here in the States……you reserve “online” and then have to place the order in person at a dealer of your choice…..at the time of ordering you and the dealer will select all options and the price will be calculated……then a order sheet will be filled out with said price along with dealer prep and any local tax and title costs…..then it will be added up and the finial price agreed on…..both dealer and orderer will sign said order sheet locking in the price. So I’m calling BS on this whole thread…..

Pretty sure we all reserved our Broncos online. I guess if arguing semantics makes it invalid, then go for it. Also, if you think everyone ordering a Bronco signed anything with a price on it, you haven't been paying attention. Many people here didn't get any paperwork whatsoever from their dealer, and plenty never stepped foot in the dealership for anything in the process.

Ford isn’t offering the first responders discount on the Broncos. What your dealer does is their business.

This dealership has a bad reputation in town and has for years. My parents grew up down the street from the dealership and have always said not to take your car there for service. They used to steal parts off your car when you took it in and then be like well can you prove it was there when you brought it to us? Such a shame and they 100% need to have their franchise revoked and have for years.

Yes, I felt it was absolutely necessary hence me posting it, if it offended you report me to the admin or feel free to block me.

Not ruling anything out until my bronco is in my driveway!

Why are you blocking out some content when it is a public Facebook page?

Why do you care.

Reading comprehension not your strong suit??? Go back and read what I wrote that you quoted….I’ll wait. And anyone that ordered a Bronco and didn’t sign a price agreement is a damn fool and deserves to get their Bronco sold out from under them.

There’s a lot of nice and trusting folks here. If it’s not in writing, it never happened, unfortunately. I paid 1k down and signed the paperwork, because I knew I wasn’t backing out and I made sure they weren’t either. At least, not without a lawsuit anyway.

Exactly. Misrepresentation. Easy. Fraud. Not as easy, but not impossible. Also, in most states, oral promises are enforceable if you take action on the oral promise; especially if $ is tendered and accepted (I.e. reservation and subsequent deposit). For sport I would have filed a TRO preventing the sale, and sought the equitable remedy of specific performance (sell me the car I ordered at MSRP). You can get a TRO ex parte (without notice to the dealer). The sale would then be enjoined for 14 days without a fight. I get it, some people would sit back and take it in the shorts. That’s their prerogative. I would not, but then again I would not have to hire an attorney. It really wouldn’t be as difficult as some seem to believe.

Yeah I think you're spot on. If you're dealing with any somewhat decent dealership, it won't ever go there since they will value their reputation too much to pull something this egregious... But if they do it anyways, it's good to know you probably do have the legal upper-hand. Even if you would never go so far as to hire an attorney over this, knowing your rights can help you put pressure on the dealer to make things right.

Maybe you should read what you wrote, because that ain't it.

Let me point out where you were wrong (everything not in bold):

Hell she has a window sticker..and VIN. I think that be enough. I would of asked for both sets of keys at the dealership when I test drove!! So if some jerkinoffski’ salesman said my price was higher than it should be. I would of been like…bye Felicia. My lawyer be in contact and I’m taking this baby home because I got the paperwork where I ordered it. I’m sure I’d been in jail after. Worth it though.

 

[DCDcollects]

Man, crazy stuff for sure. I wasn't worried about my dealer (DHL Ford in Thousand Oaks), but I did email him and got an email confirmation that there's no Dealer Mark up. I've had great experiences with them.

They just got their first Bronco a week or so ago, and their mannequin should come soon. I'm scheduled for build on 8/9 (crossing fingers).

Only because they got caught!

Ahhhhh the power of the internet

Just left negative review for this dealership. Saw many others about same topic. Way to band together everyone. Absolutely horrible business practices.
