See my response, here, in your other thread.

Yes. It appears that @IDyeti knows.

My eyes seem to prefer lighting to be a bit more blueish than what most people's eyes prefer. However, for headlights, those more toward that end of the spectrum are obnoxious. The shorter wavelengths of light scatter more, and produce more glare. Next time you're driving at night, and...

No, the Contour is a totally different vehicle than the Bronco. They stopped making them twenty years ago.

Having driven a Chevette on a few occasions, yes, I can agree with “Never again!”

Very occasionally, as high as 90. I got a speeding ticket for that speed, a few decades ago, in my Mom's nineteen-seventy-something Buick Skylark. More recently, only in short bursts while passing something slower, in any of my last three cars, a 1996 Mercury Mystique, a 1997 Ford Contour...

I do think I got a lot of good advice, here, and even most of the posts that were “snarky” seemed well-intentioned. I'm grateful for any help and support I've received. My wife, @Seanette, just joined the forum, and I am tagging her here to draw her attention to this thread.

Very good. We'll see you next weekend, then.

Assuming that my wife and I are there next Saturday or Sunday, will it be you, personally that we will be dealing with, or someone else?

I pretty much know that I'm stepping in at the back of a very long line. And fumbling around, just to find the end of the line to join. I'm braced for a long wait, and hoping that the result will be well worth it. I knew, from the moment I decided I was going to try to get a Bronco, that...

I'll need to discuss it with my wife, but I think you've got our business. Assuming things go as I hope, we should be there in person some time next weekend.

Possibly. I remember accompanying my parents, in 1988, as they were shopping for their second-ever new car; and observing different paths that the negotiations took. At one dealership, the negations started at MSRP, and then the dealer just kept adding assorted fees and markups over that as...

This feels like the best advice, so far, close to what @UberGadgetFreak also had to offer. But having paged @Gloff, I'll wait to see what he has to say. Depending on that, I may just endure the nasty 2-hour drive to him, and forego any further attempts to contact other dealers, or I may...

This will be a new order. I wasn't going to even think of starting the process until the money came in to pay for it. It came in recently, after orders closed for 2021, and before they opened for 2022.

So, in what might be folly, I'm paging @Gloff to this thread. In my other thread, your dealership was mentioned and highly praised. A bit of a nasty drive from where I am, but not completely unmanageable; and if you live up to the reputation that you seem to have here, it may be very well...

I should mention that I simply cannot take the time to take as many phone calls as I think likely, if I encourage dealers to contact me that way. And I am very bad at dealing with people over the phone, especially in matters of any complexity at all. Email is really the only feasible way for...

So, based on what I hope is good advice received so far, I've cut my message way down in size. Is it still too much? My Name is Bob Blaylock. I'm looking to buy a 2022 four-door Bronco Badlands, with a hardtop, the 2.7-liter V6 engine, automatic transmission, and the Luxe package. The...

Somewhat related to this other thread of mine. I've composed the following text. I intend, very soon, to seek out the web sites of various dealerships within range of my home, and to send this message (possibly modified according to any advice I receive here in this thread) to them. I'm...

And like any good hitchhiker, it means that you know where your towel is.

So, with reservations/ordering supposed to open up for the 2022 model year in less than a week, I guess I'd better figure out choosing a dealership. I live in the southern part of Sacramento, near the border with Elk Grove. I've got the money in my bank account, right now, to pay for my...
