The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

[NC_Pinz]

Since I didn’t get a call from John today I can assume I’m at least 2nd quarter. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Calls don't start until tomorrow which is when ordering is available.

What’s the logic here if you don’t mind me asking?
Cause I didn’t get a call either

John said he would start making calls today and he would call 30-40 people. I figured around 160 allocations. Rough guesstimate.

Order banks aren't open yet, why would he call today?

Sorry guys I’m traveling and I’m a day ahead somehow. My bad.

excited for whoever has their rig on this truck! Doesn’t look like mine made the trip. 2 weeks and counting so things must really be backed up. Maybe another truck will show up later today

Mine’s the red one! Been a hell of a ride, waiting a long time. Road trip very soon

can you share your build date? Trying to understand how long the wait is.

First was August then September before MIC 2.0. Last communication was build date 10/4-hard to forget 10-4!

This was my email from Thursday 10/7

Great news! Your 2021 Bronco Badlands™ 4 Door has been built. We are performing some final inspections on your vehicle and getting it ready for shipment.

Our current estimate for delivery to Stephens Auto Center is between October 19, 2021 and October 25, 2021.

Ford tracker won’t work now either

wow! That’s awesome! I know me and a few other people got built before that and are still waiting on delivery. I don’t get the order of operations.

I was completely surprised and caught off guard. I figured when they said scheduled for build-I said to myself…yeah right, this’ll be pushed back again! I checked in, saw the Instagram post, I said That’s it right there! Email was slow to catch up and then BOOM, there it was, from John. He called me soon after but I was still at work.

Ordering is suppose to open today, not yesterday.

John - noticing some changes between the order guide/price list and what we got on build and price. Which should we use in assembling our builds to communicate to you in the coming days?

 

[StephensAutoCenter]

The goal posts moved once again this morning. Concerning our "allocation", I inquired with our Ford rep as to what ours is for 2022, as it would be nice to tell our customers as I am putting in orders... this is what I got in reply:

".... We are not going to send out the total allocation amounts this production year, it will be based off the commodities that each customer has and what's available to build. "

That, to me, reads like we'll get everything that is buildable, based on commodities (and probably) in timestamp order.

I have no idea until it shakes out. I just looked on Ford.com and the 2021 Bronco page is still showing.

John, I just want to thank you for the way you all approach business.

This whole situation has been frustrating with the way Ford has handled it (see dumpster fire).

If there has been any saving grace, it's been your all's honesty. Because of that, I'll stick with Stephens until 2023 if it takes that long for me to get a Bronco.

Thanks for these updates John. It's re-assuring to be working with you and your team at Stephens, especially after hearing what others have been dealing with at other dealerships. Looking forward to getting the updated 2022 order in place.
