I purchased my current Bronco slightly used and the previous owner swapped out the antenna to a smaller stubby one and for some reason he also changed the aerial assembly. The gentleman that purchased my Bronco had passed away unexpectedly and I purchased it from his wife so I can't ask him why...
I grew up in the car business, my father had a dealership. I have purchased many used cars but I can tell you I always feel most comfortable purchasing from the original owner. You can pretty quickly get the feel of who your dealing with and what your getting just by asking the right...
I was told the same thing, but you won't know until you have a Vin# and ask your dealer if it can be applied. Unfortunately my offer was only good for MY23 and it won't work on my 24 order.:(
You can also usually tell by the color of the window sticker. If its blue, it's a stock order and green it's a custom order. Now that being said....someone may have walked away from a custom order and the dealer might have it for sale as well if your lucky.
