I hope none of you did anything dumb yet like cancel your order! I went to bat and got it done. I will be sending this email out to all our reservation holders shortly, but figured you might like an advanced peak. I welcome you to share this with any other SoCal reservation holders whom I...
To anybody following this thread, I've seen that document posted about Xplan being excluded on the full-size Bronco. The posted version through Ford that I have access to still shows an earlier date and does not have Bronco listed. That document posted here does look legitimate though. My...
Hey Adrian, as others have said it would be unlikely for a socal dealership to change price strategies this late into the game. If Johnny at Chula Vista Ford has been helpful so far then I think it would be fitting to keep your business with him. Do keep Kearny Mesa in mind as a backup if...
I bet someone has already answered this question considering this thread has moved on 13 pages since!
This is correct. On the dealer side, we click a button to "convert" each reservation to an order. If we don't click the button by a certain date, that reservation number and that order are...
Hey there. You don't need to call Ford for this. You can change every aspect of your reservation once the actual order banks open. You can change the trim, door count, color, etc. The only changes you won't be able to make will be to change up to a First Edition, or change down to a Bronco...
Hey! As everyone said already, you don't need to confirm any of these things with me as I have made those commitments publicly to everyone. For Xplan, I don't expect I will actually need evidence of it until the day you purchase your Bronco. I'll let you know if that changes.
You can reach...
Hey good morning all. As @BroncoBoy22 stated, we are only going to enforce Fords minimum deposit requirements which is $500 right now. @jpeml94 welcome and thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately the pricing that Granger is giving is too aggressive for us to match. We are asking MSRP for...
I contacted my Ford rep and got confirmation that the $500 will be refundable just like the initial $100. And for people who switched and got their $100 back already, I believe it will still just be $500, not $600. Good question though.
Hey! I was halfway through writing a post here but you beat me to it!
Ford just sent an email to reservation holders outlining the coming timetables. They made a specific note saying "Expect your dealer to request a deposit to confirm your commitment". I have confirmed that this statement is...
I appreciate the apology but it isn't necessary! This is a public forum for all to share. To me it is more important for everyone to know which dealerships are being transparent and which aren't. Please repost that message in this thread; it may help someone in that region that I won't be...
Hey sorry about the experience. I was out of the office last week or I would have been glad to speak with you personally. The reality is that much of the staff still are not well versed on the Bronco yet, hence why I've put myself at the tip of the spear.
I have not received a color book yet...
Hey Bob okay I've had some time to think about the announcement and the process Ford has planned for allocation. You asked for my opinion so I'll gladly share it.
First of all, I think the problem of how to prioritize the fulfillment of orders is probably much more complex than us onlookers...
Even on a typical special order I think it's fair to expect some flexibility in the price. This launch doesn't exactly fit that mold though. I haven't seen anybody post about successfully negotiating with a dealer here in California. There are only a handful of dealers like Grager Ford in...
Hey Rion, I can answer that. Dealerships typically make in profit whatever a vehicle is sold for over the invoice price. In the case of selling at MSRP, the profit is the amount between the invoice and MSRP. There are a few other kickbacks dealers get from the manufacturer, but that is the...
