You‘re welcome! But it’s be around in some form since nearly the beginning, I looked at what both packs had a a day or two after first day reservation. Finding all the data is not the easiest.

l probably should have said “spiffs“ instead of volume. There are definitely other programs and dollars that go from the manufacturer to the dealer. I have no idea how that may or may not apply to Bronco.

You can get freight forwarders to bid on your business at uship.com. Depending on locations, timing, etc., you can get pretty decent deal. If you don’t ship enclosed your vehicle will be filthy when it gets to you but enclosed is pricey. May explore having the dealer not prep the outside of...

Interesting and makes sense.

Granger‘s pricing is fantastic and I appreciate it, but they are making nothing on the initial sale of the vehicle (particularly if holdback is 2%). Their profit will be on quantity bonuses, allocations, etc. It Is not unreasonable for dealers to be selling a really hot new product at or near...

Generally I agree, $500 deposit is reasonable, but on Bronco the dealer is actually at least as well off (and probably better off) if you order and don’t end up taking delivery. They would have a Bronco in stock that they had no other way of procuring so they really don’t need anything beyond...

If you want to give the dealer more of your money to hold no problem. But it’s absolutely not necessary to “show your serious”.

It’s not false. My statement has nothing to do with with pricing or contract. You do have a $100 deposit with the dealer and there is no need for an additional deposit when you sign an agreement on pricing.

You already have a $100 deposit with your chosen dealer, no need for additional deposit.

That is probably a bigger task than you think. You pay sales tax and other fees when you buy, not to mention you have to qualify for the loan unless you’re paying cash. Add on to all that the hassle of the paperwork of both buying and selling a car plus finding a buyer. All that might be OK...

That is very interesting! Thanks for sharing

I wouldn’t do $500 non refundable. Even though the chances of you changing your mind might be very slight — things can happen. In the event you don’t close, the dealer will be delighted to have an in-stock Bronco to sell. No reason for your money to be at risk and for the dealer to make an...

Most dealers know next to nothing about their product which includes all the models that have been in production for years. There are exceptions like Granger Ford but they are few and far between. Not really that big of a deal now days with internet availability.

I‘m pretty sure additional deposit or not will be up to the individual dealer not Ford. The dealer will ”own” that unit if you don’t pickup. Smart dealers won‘t require additional deposits because they will be able to immediately sell any Broncos that are ordered but not closed on.

It’s in the Ford site. I’ve read the exact list for what is included in base and what is part of the upgraded package. I can’t find it again but it’s around somewhere. I think it’s in the compare models but I can’t even find that right now. There is a separate thread about lack of blind spot...

Smart dealers will not ask for any deposit beyond the $100 they already have. If the deposit customer doesn’t close the transaction they will have the vehicle sold to another buyer within a day or two. They are effectively getting a dealer allocation when no dealer allocation is available. If...

Oh please, nothing I’ve written could even remotely be considered alarmist or even rise to the level of ”concern” for that matter. I have a reservation from first day. Sharing information from actual data sources such as Consumer Reports and JD Powers (which conflict on this point) is exactly...

You’re welcome! I agree, if that software mode is your primary want out the package, definitely not worth it.

Even the base has Co-Pilot360 as standard. There is more than one version of Co-pilot, if you go through the Ford info it shows what the higher level Co-pilot plus adds.

You have an unusual definition of reliability if you don't consider component failure as impacting reliability. Ford is like most manufacturers in that their reliability can vary fairly significantly from model to model. All manufacturers are generally quite reliable as compared to 30 years...
