I’ve posted about this some in other threads but I think the questions at-hand deserve their own thread.
I ordered a 2-door Badlands, high package, manual transmission in Feb 2022.
The TL/DR version is that Corwin Ford of Springfield used loopholes to get out of “having” to sell the truck to...
My price protection had me at $46,500 for a two door manual badlands high package. $5000 over sticker means I’m paying just shy of $9k more for the same exact vehicle. And I highly doubt your dealership has what I want, though if they do, I’m all ears.
Any definitive word on the manual transmission? I’ve seen speculation it’s because of the grinding noises, but people with current orders are getting scheduled for MT.
My dealer sold mine out from under me so now I have no price protection and it appears no way to replace it even with money I...
That's similar to the setup I had on my old Land Cruiser! A bit cumbersome in some ways but wayyy easier to access the trunk which is quite handy. Looking forward to seeing it!
Your comments make me wonder if you're the guy who bought my Bronco the dealer sold out from under me. Intrigued to see your rack setup as bike racks + associated gear are also my only logistical hurdle with the two door configuration. I love using a rear footwell for shoes/helmet/etc. I used my...
Here's hoping they're scheming something big for you! I'm over here daydreaming of ripping around the Ozarks with you making an epic film about Ford making things right for the little guy... hey, dreamin' is free, right?! đź¤
Corwin Ford of Springfield, MO did this to me. Except it was my own Bronco.
Three credit checks, agreed to let me pause the paperwork so I could withdraw more cash to put into the deal, then sold my custom ordered Bronco for $10,000 over MSRP. Or, at least, they claim it's sold. Ford Pass...
Well congrats to both of y'all! Twins!!
If your brother decides he doesn't want one, my ordered Bronco got sold out from under me for a $10k markup. Please remember us peasants on the forums. ;)
@randyharlan any updates?
I have received a few messages from Mr. Levine.
His team seemingly did reach out to the dealership; they're parroting their story that since I didn't have the deal done after initially "agreeing" to the numbers, they can claim I "didn't want the truck." Even though...
good for you! It’s just sad that it’s come to this. An automobile is the first or second largest purchase most Americans make, and with the long waits and order fiascos from Ford, the “norm” has become begging to buy something before ever test driving it, rather than laying eyes on it, feeling...
I picked them in large part because the Crain dealerships have such a bad reputation. I lived in northwest Arkansas when I ordered and made a conscientious choice to work with Friendly (now Corwin).Joke’s on me I guess.
This is rich— I downloaded the Ford Pass app when I was initially doing the high pressure paperwork. The car is still at the dealership as of this minute. It’s also still live on their website. I think they panicked when I halved the amount of interest on the loan, which I figure they used as...
Just happened to me, too. At Corwin Ford of Springfield, Missouri. Posting here and planning to tweet the Ford brass as well. Sadly because mine is a manual, not sure there’s an easy solution here. Not that I expect Ford to take care of any of us.
I ordered a manual 2 door bronco in February...
Confirmed. I'm currently on the fence about trading my Outback in for the Bronco I ordered. The Bronco is truly a phenomenal road driver--for how capable it is off-road. It doesn't feel anything like my old Toyota trucks did, but it's a solid 10 decibels louder than the Outback at most any speed...
I'm supposed to pick up my '23 two-door Badlands manual tomorrow.. This thread is giving me major mixed signals! Early pages were so positive and the last few posts are trending quite negatively.
Every time I see a Braptor going the other direction down the highway I almost think it's one of those diesel bro trucks where they put 24" chrome wheels with an insane negative offset and rubber band mud tires.
It's honestly sad, because the F-150 Raptor is/was one of my favorite vehicles...
