There is so much cool stuff in and around Moab. You have to go to Arches National Park, and if you do any hiking, the hike to Delicate Arch is amazing.
Of course that is not true. You get decent 17" alloy wheels with tires that are a great compromise for mostly street use. There is also an extra grab handle, an extra GOAT mode, a different grill and LED fog lights.
Perhaps most importantly it opens up the mid-package which has a lot of good...
I did something like this and it worked out for me. I bought in February with about $5k ADM and recently traded for my actual order. The dealer gave me enough over MSRP on the trade to even me up.
I did, however, buy from a dealer with low ADM and trade to a different dealer with high ADM...
My Big Bend had 3,000 miles and I got about $3.5k over its new sticker price. It was enough to make me whole on my prior deal. I suppose I could have pushed harder, but I didn't feel like I had a ton of leverage given that they would have loved me for to just abandon my order. I also saved...
No -- I probably should have mentioned that. The 2-door was ordered from a larger dealer in Tampa. The 4-door from a smaller dealer in Clearwater. I don't know the specifics of their volume or allocations.
Agree, but the only actual difference between the Bronco I received in 6-months and the one I ordered over a year ago is 2-door vs. 4-door. They are otherwise identical. So 2-door appears to be a HUGE constraint.
Just to be clear, when I decided I wanted a Bronco I ordered a 2-door Big Bend mid-package in July 2021, over a year ago. I converted to a 2022 order, and will probably be asked to convert to a 2023.
While waiting 6 months with no VIN assigned, I saw people ordering 4-door soft-tops and...
Right? The funny thing is I started down this road by ordering a two-door in July 2021, and I have no VIN or anything yet. Kind of hard to believe.
This isn't usually how I operate. Ford has made me into this... :ROFLMAO:
They were surprised, but kind of a win-win. They had to sell me the ordered one at MSRP, so taking in the trade gave them another nearly new Bronco to sell at a big mark-up.
This is the second time I have driven a new car for many months and sold it for more. This can't last, but it is a fun...
My Big Bend soft-top 2.3 mid package that I ordered on February 3 showed up at the dealer today. Total surprise. Zero communication from Ford. Never knew I had a VIN, never knew I was scheduled, never knew it was built, or that it was shipping. Boom. Arrived.
To complicate matters, I had...
The way this happens isn't always scummy. Lots of folks ordered the truck they wanted (often a 2-door or hard top) and after months of waiting without a VIN saw people posting on here that they got their 4-door soft-top orders within 2-3 months. A lot of people placed a second order. I don't...
How would you verify the order? You can't ask someone to pay for it before it is even built, and the customer can walk until its paid for. I guess some people might say, never mind, I don't want the Bronco that is worth more than sticker... But probably not that many.
There is no incentive to cancel an "extra" order, so why do it? Why not wait until the truck comes in and see what happens?
I might feel bad about it if Ford felt bad about not building my order for a year. Haven't heard from them since receiving some goofy calendar like 9 months ago. They...
I have a Big Bend with the standard bumpers, Aux switches, and soft top.
I often carry bikes on the back and return to the car after dark. I'd like to be able to light up the rear area to provide some help in racking the bikes, etc. The Bronco Sport is great for this with bright lights...
I'm not sure this is accurate -- you can almost never go by what is on the dealer website. Seems like it is never right. You have to call or go in.
I don't think demand is softening. Orders have been closed for a while, dealer stocked units are few and far between. "Regular" people are just...
