Wow . Just wow.Economics 101:
*Its supply and demand........which means if you want it and can buy it, It's your personal prerogative.......but that also means you don't have to buy it.
Economics 101 (Post Internet age):
*Its supply and demand.......which means if you don't like the price youall over the internet and badmouth a person, company or organization like the've punched your sainted mother.
Get over it people.
Never said she should "know everything". All I'm saying is that she should have known to negotiate a price before placing an order.Really. She in her 20’s she should know everything ,so you say. Come on give her a break. If your going to slap someone it should be the dealer.
Again ".......she is in her 20’s . Can’t you get it. That was rhetorical you do not have to respond. I think I already know the answer.
All due respect to the JL, but it did not have the hype the Bronco did. The better comparison is the C8, and that has had massive ADM and continues to do so. Look at the prices we're seeing on non-restricted Broncos at dealers as a sense of what they would have cost without the reservation system.Jeep released the new JL in 2018 successfully, without using Fords early reservation marketing scheme. Some "first on the block" type of people paid more initially, but then things settled in as is usually the case.
Reservations actually screwed over the type of Bronco buyers who want to see in person, evaluate the options, test drive and buy a vehicle. By placing a horde of reservationists in front, who's claim to fame was bashing a keyboard a year ago, and insentiently talking about their time stamps and who is supposedly cutting their line. Yeah.
One of the first Broncos that sold near me, was to a guy off the street ... when the reservationist showed up, realized what he was buying, and opted out, lol.
She got an email telling her what to do. Good grief...
I know, you keep saying that. She clearly didn’t know and saying multiple times she should have known to have her price negotiated is nothing more than blaming her. This wouldn’t be a thing if dealers weren’t shady POS.
ThanksYou were able to choose your dealer at time of reservation. The website tries hard to select your local dealer, but it’s editable.
Additionally, Ford told reservation holders to negotiate and agree on the price before placing the actual order… of course, this was still during the time before order banks were open and one could transfer their reservation to a different dealer… but I’m sure Ford’s recommendation hasn’t changed on this. Since the banks are open there’s no waiting, you can just go straight to the dealer of your choice and order right away.
Just to make sure, it just checked… still able to select your dealer:
She also got an invoice from her dealer telling her what the price would be, right? I don't recall the steps being "Reserve the Bronco. Negotiate the price with the dealer. Order the Bronco. Wait for delivery. Re-negotiate the price with the same dealer. Take home Bronco."She got an email telling her what to do. Good grief...
This is not rhetorical and you do not have to respond.
You’ll be surprised by how many people actually didn’t get a PA.
Cool yeah I don’t really know what is and isn’t - I only read the paperwork provided in the term sheet and don’t know what any other contractual obligations dealers have to Ford and where to find those contracts.
I didn't get one with Stephens but they made it well known on here and their website that they were selling invoice -$1000. I figured that would suffice and didn't need to go through the extra steps. They haven't screwed over anyone that has gotten delivery. So I guess it depends on the dealer or just not trust anyone?
I’d place the ones actively advertising under MSRP in a safe category. It’s the ones who bought from local dealers who don’t have a PA, those are the ones who should be skeptical.
Basic business steps should be taken to protect yourself with any large purchase, yes, when it is a personal purchase as well.
