Sales tax will be collected by the state you register your vehicle in, so there is no advantage to picking a state with a lower tax rate. It is important that we pick a dealer that is familiar with inter-state sales so this is correctly handled. :)

Is there a name we should be talking to there? Ultimately we would like to get several dealers competing for our collective business, but this is a GREAT starting point if the GM would extend that in writing to the group, or maybe even do better if they knew it would mean as many as 40 orders...

No. MSRP will be the price on the sticker. X-Plan, if offered, will get you below MSRP. Other dealerships in other regions are offering to sell at invoice LESS some amount. We would like to get to below invoice. Depending on your model, this could get you several thousand dollars in savings.

Have they given you any sense of what the offer will be?

Which Koons? I heard from Koons of Annapolis that they are NOT affiliated with the other ones.

Thanks for taking a leadership role on this!

You and I are at the same place. I had exactly the same conversation. The offer is okay, but I think We can do better!

Interesting that Apple Ford said that. Koons of Annapolis say that for reservations MSRP and X-plan of Ford allows on FE. I still hope we can do better as a group! My main concern with the FE is the finals Specs. It is a pretty penny and I want to make sure I am getting something I will...

I actually like that. It is interesting that rubber flooring is an upgrade. My first Toyota 4x4 had rubber floors, and that was base.

Looks like we have significant mass! What do you all think our next step should be?

Hi. X-plan is a Ford partners plan that reduces the markup. He can get it if you are a Bet through Vet advantage, joining the Mustang club of America, EAA, owning 100shares of Ford, etc. ADM is the term of additional dealer mark-up. Some dealers tack thi on on top of MSRP for the privilege of...

Exterior Color: Cactus Grey Interior Color: Brown Saddle with Black Top Color: Black, but would consider white with white grill Must have add on(aftermarket or factory): winch, off road lights Dealership & State: Maryland and whoever gives me the best deal

Look, you guys are awesome! I have been following you and your posts and I love how you are not only offering a great deal, but great information. Just wish you were closer to Maryland or had a deal with a shipper!

Honestly, it was her idea. My F150 is too big for her to drive comfortably and she wants something smaller. She first was trying to talk me into an Explorer, but was willing to compromise on a four door Bronco.

Don’t disagree. There are intangibles for the dealer beyond profit. Great negotiation point. Also, since supply will be limited, the reservations will dominate deliveries. People who want to see them will need to see ours, and by seeing ours, the dealer can generate more orders for those who...

In my Z4 I use my Bluetooth all the time around town, but not on the freeway. This is 2004 technology, so I am sure it has improved. I do though tell people I can’t hear them well when driving my Z4. It has become my time to wind down, listen to my music, and enjoy the drive.

I want that deal as well, but I did a spreadsheet on the Grainger offer, which is very good, to see what my actual costs would be. Keep in mind you need a one way plane ticket, miles at $.55 per mile, and for me it is a 14 hour drive, so food and lodging. Not to mention time, which for me is a...

If we have 25 or more Broncos, he would change his tune. The old business rule is that as you increase volume, you can decrease margin. So, at one vehicle, the dealer can say no profit if they narrow the margin. But at 25, they make less per vehicle, but gain more overall profit through volume...

Question for everyone, think we should hold off a bit until we know how many Broncos we are negotiating for and then approach them with numbers? As individuals, they are in the driver seat, so this would be the response we would get if we approached them one at a time. If we are able to approach...

I like your thinking! I agree that 25 would be a good deal for any dealer. I am a definite order. No maybe here. Maybe we should add a column to your list (big thanks for that!) on who is in, who is maybe, and who is just looking. Beyond being the Bronco HQ, we could also offer them some...
